ICE arrested Nashville journalist without warrant, attorneys say The journalist, Estefany Rodriguez, was taken to a detention center and remains there as of 3 p.m. March 5.

Nothing to see here, please move along β€” just ICE arresting a journalist without a warrant apparently because it didn’t like her reporting.

So sad to learn that Bruno is gone.

I always loved having Bruno as my photographer on stories for two reasons.

1. The magnificent art he created
2. The laughs that came with his give no fucks attitude as he ordered subjects around and told them to do what he asked to make sure No. 1 happened.

Does anyone know if the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas gets a $70-million luxury 737 Max with a bedroom?

It must be agonizing for massive #F1 fan #FraonΓ§oisPhilippeChampagne to be in Australia on the eve of #AustralianGP weekend but fly out right before the track action starts.

The craziest F1 start ever? Why Australian Grand Prix might see chaos from the off Grand prix starts have always held the potential for chaos, but this year there's almost guaranteed drama when the lights go out in Australia on Sunday. ESPN explains why.

I’m trying to imagine #F1 drivers like Niki Lauda, Nigel Mansell, Nelson Piquet, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, and Gilles Villeneuve complaining about not having a Motor Generator Unit-Heat (MGU-H) to help them deal with turbo lag…

Exactly. Blindly hooting for the Buffoon-in-Chief as he unlawfully orders airstrikes without a coherent plan isn't a foreign policy, and isn't patriotic; it's just stupid, and dangerous.

CBS News conducts a poll.

It finds that only 18% of Americans advocate removing Iran's leadership "by force," and 74% say Trump needs congressional approval before starting a war.

So their headline is, "CBS News poll on Americans' views on Iran prior to conflict."

A mad king's illegal war on Iran is a cry for regime change...in Washington | Will Bunch Democracy really did die in darkness as Donald Trump's unconstitutional war on Iran stamps America as a dictatorship.

No wonder Trump went to war with Iran in the dead of night, with the Capitol empty, most Americans soundly asleep

This war is illegal. Full stop. The worst abuse of presidential power in American history aims to cement a dictatorship on U.S. soil

This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.
