Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph — but NOT America’s leading newspapers?

Karoline Leavitt told us the US State Department was helping Americans stranded in the Middle East.
She lied.
One Texas woman in Dubai called the State Department hotline, was scolded for being scared and then hung up on.
This administration is *full* of incompetent, rude people.
Emmanuel Damas, 56, died in ICE custody on Monday. Damas came to the US from Haiti seeking asylum. After six months in ICE custody—the last four at CoreCivic's Florence Correctional Center—he died from complications from a tooth infection, according to ICE. A tooth infection. He's death number nine.
Is Convicted Felon Donald Trump’s super-duper secure SCIF with soft banquet-hall curtains, open air top, unsecured electronic devices, and roving guests located next to the bathroom where the classified documents are stored?
And that's putting it nicely. What a monster.

Trump is withholding tens of millions in disaster relief because he had Noem institute a reg at DHS that says she must approve major expenditures. And right now all she's approving is massive weapons purchases and a fuck plane for her and Corey. Where do YOU think this is headed?
When I say we're witnessing evil, I'm comfortable writing that as a journalist. Trump and his minions are letting U.S. citizens die so they can stockpile weapons in preparation for martial law while buying themselves toys to facilitate their adulteries.
What would YOU call that?
Breaking news: A federal judge found that the IRS violated federal law “approximately 42,695 times” when it shared confidential taxpayer addresses with immigration enforcement officials last summer.
New Jersey has proposed the F.U.C.K.I.C.E Act. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/n...
Cow manure has more charm.
🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸
THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Trump created something they call:
"BABY JAIL"
There are hundreds of preschoolers, toddlers & babies in this "BABY JAIL!"
HUNDREDS!
And it's all being paid for on your dime, with your taxpayer dollars & being done in your name!
Imagine the trauma, the harm, the abuse!
BABY JAIL!

The heads of Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla all joined Trump at his inauguration.
Since then, largely thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, their companies have reaped $51B in federal tax breaks — paid for by huge cuts to our social safety net.
This is what oligarchy looks like.
what the actual
The ICE budget that Republicans passed into law does not reflect the values of Minnesota or of America. The $75 billion extra that Republicans gave ICE could have funded three full years of health care tax credits to lower costs for millions of Americans.
The American people have had enough.

BLUMENTHAL: Were you mistaken when you said no US citizen is subject to immigration enforcement?
LYONS: No sir
BLUMENTHAL: Well, who is lying? You or him? The facts contradict what you said
ICE are Gov’t Backed RABID DOGS!!
"An 18 yr old U.S. citizen was VIOLENTLY detained by Border Patrol & told he had no rights here.
He happened to record the encounter, which captured immigration agents JOKING about using stun guns & getting bonuses.
IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT CRUELTY!"

WATCH: “A STAGGERING LOSS” for Tennessee Farmers 🧑🌾
TN Agriculture commissioner Andy Holt details ~$200 MILLION in losses in 2025 for TN farmers even AFTER another Trump bailout
He tries to downplay the role Trump’s trade war played🤔, but the truth is clear. #TradeNotAid
Federal court orders unsealing on Tuesday of the Fulton County affidavit used to support the ransacking of the election office files. We will learn what persuaded a magistrate to grant the search warrant, which was a foreboding development.
Mamdani is such a relief.
Morale at the DOJ is low. In multiple cases, a federal judge questioned a DOJ attorney about why his habeas orders had been repeatedly ignored. The attorney replied that her job sucked and asked the judge to hold her in contempt and jail her for a night, so she’d get 24 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
The problem is bigger than Minneapolis, bigger than ICE, and bigger than Trump. Violence against protesters is on the rise in the U.S. and all over the world, reflecting a horrifying escalation of authoritarianism, and an elite disregard for basic democratic freedoms.
