“They came to my house to try to scare me, I invited them in for lunch.”

Two weeks ago, I shared that ICE boxed me in outside my house.

What I DIDN’T share was that I had New York Times reporter Charles Homans and his photographer with me in the car!

Oh well that clears it up

American Death Toll in Trump’s Iran War Doubles in Two Days Three more U.S. service members have been killed in action since Sunday’s Central Command announcement.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

Gov. Walz challenges DHS Secretary Noem on federal agents detaining children Gov. Tim Walz is pressing for answers from federal authorities regarding the detention of children in Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge. Walz demanded information more a month ago, and has not go...

Over a month has passed since we demanded information about the Minnesota children held in federal detention facilities. We have not received a response.

We will not stay silent while Donald Trump and Kristi Noem imprison children.

Devastating.

NYT: "Americans alarmed by the death of four U.S. service members might have been expecting a formal presidential address from the White House. Instead, they are observing a president treating this like every other day: talking about his ballroom, attacking Democrats, bashing the news media"

🤨

How it started How it’s going

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

“More vehicles are expected to arrive from Minnesota in the coming days, according to a source familiar with the operation …”

wtf

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

At least 115 people, most of them likely children, were killed in a strike on a girls’ elementary school in Iran on Saturday, health officials and state media said. It was not immediately clear which country hit the school. Our reporters are trying to confirm details of the attack. trib.al/HxXybV9

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN I hope you aren't drunk and took your staff's advice, Rashida and I don't know this man and feel confident he didn't care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self, Replying to: Rep. Nancy Mace @RepNancyMace • 6h My heart goes out to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib tonight. Sending them thoughts and prayers. (Announcement of the ayatollah’s death)

“I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self” is some God-tier Minnesotan passive aggression, could not be prouder of my former congresswoman.

Just drove under a bridge where 40 folks had gathered for an anti-ICE protest

It ... was in rural Mosinee, Wisconsin

‘War of choice’: Trump says Iran was preparing attack but has provided no evidence

I was 17 when the Iraq war started. I was livid watching my peers shipped off to fight a war for rich people. Almost 7,000 service members died. I’m now 39 and here’s a new war for rich people. But it’s a brand new rage being told our troops dying is just “the way it is”. War is a choice.

😕

Don’t worry everybody, Thomas is on the job

No congressional approval, American troops being thrust into danger with no plan for what’s next.

In just the first two months of 2026, the US invaded one country to arrest and imprison their president (while pardoning another foreign president serving time in the U.S. for the exact same crime) and then started a war with another country, killed that country’s leader and immediate family.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

Unreal.

‘The most bitter news’: Iran reels as more than 80 children reportedly killed in school bombing The building appears to be among many devastated in Trump’s ‘major combat operations’ as long expected attacks arrive

Proud day, America...proud day...
