We saw an uptick in ICE activity today.

ICE continues to be spotted around the metro area - dining, driving, and hiding in between events.

Current vehicles on the short list include Black Chevrolet Tahoes, White or Silver Jeep Wagoneers, and White Ford Transit vans with fake branding.

Breaking: Arkansas Democrats just flipped a Republican seat It's the ninth red-to-blue pickup in a special election in Trump's second term

JUST IN: Democrat Alex Holladay has flipped a GOP-held seat in *Arkansas*.

Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried hard to delay this race and wanted the seat to stay vacant for 8+ months, but the courts told her to hold it today. If she was worried, she was right to be.

Our full recap:

I voted in Dallas County today. The texas.gov site wouldn't tell me where to go, so I went to where I voted in the '24 presidential election. They said I was at the wrong place, and gave me the address I needed to go to. That place then informed me I had to go somewhere else.

NEW: the texas state Supreme Court just temporarily BLOCKED a lower court judges ruling extending polling hours in Dallas County. Any votes cast by people not in line by 7 PM will have their votes set aside pending the outcome of the litigation.

Watching Republicans test-run straight up election rigging in Texas is honestly astonishing. I know we’re not surprised, but it’s so brazen it’s shocking

No amount of regret can reunite families, save children from indefinite detention, or make our communities whole again.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Gas prices jump 16 cents overnight in Minnesota and are still heading up Unrest in the Middle East and spring travel are leading to price surge of 10 to 25 cents a gallon in the next week or two. Some analysts say a gallon could hit $4.

Week one and Trump’s war is hitting pocket books.

Democratic voters in Texas scramble to find polling place amid precinct voting switch Early voting had been countywide and saw record Democratic turnout, but the switch to precinct-only locations left many voters showing up at the wrong spot and being turned away.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

“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!

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.

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"
