Dozens of FBI witness interviews from the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein appear to be missing from the files released by the Department of Justice last month, according to a CNN review – including interviews related to a woman who accused President Trump of sexually assaulting her decades ago.

Wow! Huge protest against a new ICE concentration camp warehouse in Romulus Michigan. I've never seen anybody in Romulus protest against anything before. Protesters and cops all over the place right now.

Great turnout and energy today protesting ICE building a human warehouse in Merrimack, NH today. Governor Kelly Ayotte lied about what her administration knew about this facility and is doing nothing to stop it. We need to vote her out of office. #nhtok #nhpolitics #newhampshire #iceout

US citizen shot and killed by federal immigration agent last year, new records show Shooting death of Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, in Texas was not publicly disclosed by Department of Homeland Security

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public.

It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests.

What else is the regime hiding from us?

ICE was the quarry target this morning and then driving dangerously through northeast & downtown.

ICE is still very much here and we need to make sure we still have people out keeping watch for our neighbors.

Billionaire Peter Thiel says that America is similar to the Weimar Republic "Liberalism has exhausted itself... Democracy, whatever it may be, has exhausted itself... Therefore, we need to start talking far beyond the Overton window."

Talking openly about this in public too, so I think it’s time to ask ourselves what we collectively want to do in response to a billionaire class that is not embarrassed about declaring themselves kings.

Almost 250 years after we broke with George III, the question must now be faced: Are we a monarchy or a nation of laws? [Cartoon by Bill Bramhall]

UPDATE — after officials said it was just a rumor in the face of massive backlash, WILSON COUNTY’s mayor confirms ICE is considering a 16000 person “MEGA CENTER” in Lebanon, TN 🤔

County Mayor Randall Hutto opposes it.

Quakertown parents, groups demand release of students in police clash Civil rights groups and parents gathered in front of the Quakertown Police Department Saturday demanding answers for the violent confrontation Friday.

INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday.

They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.

Georgia Is Letting a Railroad Seize Land a Black Family Has Owned For 100 Years Descendants of enslaved people are fighting an attempt to use eminent domain to carve a spur through one of Georgia’s largest Black‑owned farms.

In the 1800s, a slave owner purchased over a dozen people in Georgia and set the foundation for his family’s generational wealth

Generations later, a railroad company owned by one of his descendants is using eminent domain to seize land of Black farmers

So, just to recap, we have two random DOGE bros with basically no knowledge or experience in the humanities (and at least one of whom is a college dropout), who just went around terminating grants that had gone through a full grant application process by feeding in a list of culture war grievance terms, selecting out the grant titles based on the appearance of seemingly “woke” words, then asking ChatGPT “yo, tell me this is DEI” and then sending termination emails the next day from a private server and forging the director’s signature. This is what “government efficiency” looks like in practice: two guys with zero relevant experience, a keyword list built on culture war grievances, and a chatbot confidently spitting out 120-character verdicts on federal grants that went through actual review processes. The experts who might have explained what these grants actually do? Locked out. The director whose signature appeared on termination letters? Couldn’t tell you which grants got cut or w

Ever wondered how your grant got cancelled? No we know. Some college dropout asked ChatGPT "is it DEI/woke"?

On February 13, 2026, Petitioner [REDACTED] filed a Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus. Dkt. 1. The same day, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause requiring Respondents to respond to the Petition no later than February 17, 2026. Dkt. 4 at ¶ 1. That order also required Respondents to file all their supporting documentation by February 17, 2026. Id. at ¶ 2. On February 18, 2026, Respondents late-filed their response to the Petition along with a declaration and single exhibit. Dkts. 5–6. Around two hours later, the Court issued an order requiring Respondents to file a declaration and exhibits references in the late-filed Response but not filed with the court, along with a declaration explaining the reason for filing late, within 24 hours. Dkt. 7. Respondents finally filed the balance of their supporting documentation by 4:06 P.M, February 18.1 Dkt. 9. Respondents never moved the Court for an extension of time to file their response or supporting documentation. Third Declaration o f[REDACTED] in Response to Text-Only Order ECF No. 7, Dkt. 10, at ¶ 9 (hereinafter “3d. [REDACTED] Decl.”). They never even contacted Counsel for Petitioner to inform him of the late filing. In the declaration, of 1 The declaration explaining the cause for late filing was not filed until 11:06 P.M. that night. Dkt. 10.

Assistant U.S. Attorney [REDACTED], Counsel for Respondents offers a host of limp excuses for filing late. First, AUSA [REDACTED] admits he was fine with violating the Court’s scheduling order, instructing his staff that it was okay to “file before midnight if possible or early Wednesday morning.” 3d. [REDACTED] Decl. at ¶ 3. His excuse for the late filing of the response itself is risible: support staff was offline and, in [REDACTED] own words, “I do not know how to file documents through CMECF.” Id. This is no excuse. The Court’s order makes no exception for staff unavailability or the failure of an attorney to know the basic functions of their profession.2 See Order to Show Cause, Dkt. 3. Further, Counsel for Respondents admits he was not prepared to file all of the documentation the Response relied upon even at that late date. As he points out, he only requested a copy of the travel document after the Court’s order to respond further. 3d. [REDACTED] Decl. at ¶ 6 (“Upon receipt of the Court’s Order, ECF No. 7, I immediately contacted ICE and requested the travel document referenced in the [REDACTED] Declaration as it had not been provided to me earlier.”). It is troubling that Counsel for Respondents knowingly referenced documents he did not have, had not seen, and seemingly had no plans to see until the Court ordered them produced. See, e.g., Response to Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, Dkt. 5 at 2, 4 (hereinafter “Response”). Besides the potential ethical issues that filing without ever seeing relied-up evidence raises,3 it evinces a total lack of respect for Petitioner’s rights and the Court’s order. Counsel for Respondents apologies to the Court and below-signed counsel for the late filing. 3d. [REDACTED] Decl. at ¶ 10. Wherefore Petitioner, who has been unconstitutionally detained for two months? 2 Counsel for Petitioner will note that he can somehow manage to file documents through CM/ECF himself without the resources and might of the Federal Government…

Feds blew a deadline in one of my habeas cases. Didn't file everything until 4pm the next day. Court ordered the AUSA to explain why he filed late. His response? It was 11:30pm and “I do not know how to file documents through CMECF.”

My response below:

Hegseth invited Christian nationalist Doug Wilson to preach at Pentagon The self-described “paleo-Confederate” has argued that wives should submit to their husbands, women should be denied the vote and Christian slaveowners were on “firm scriptural ground.”

Christian nationalist pastor Doug Wilson, who has argued that women should be denied the right to vote and Christian slaveowners were on “firm scriptural ground,” led a worship service at the Pentagon at the invitation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

There has been constant vandalism at Silverio's memorial (which has a much smaller footprint than Renée's):

Renee Good memorial site in south Minneapolis doused in gasoline Damage from a burning pile of wood was minimal but police are investigating.

Just awful. People (like Ryan mentioned in the article, who is living out of his van) have been staying awake all night for weeks keeping watch over the memorial for this exact reason.

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first.
2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts.
3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger.
4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover.
5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.
