This screenshot captures an official tweet from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), posted on March 11, 2026.

The tweet includes a high-angle, wide-shot photograph of a massive, modern industrial warehouse complex surrounded by a large parking lot and green fields. The text of the tweet reads:

    "DHS and ICE are moving fast to secure the infrastructure needed for a safer America. Today we finalized the purchase of our 12th primary warehouse facility. This $38B investment in our new 'Reengineering Initiative' ensures we own our facilities outright—cutting out the middleman and speeding up removals. #SecureTheBorder #DHS #ICE"

The image also shows a "DHS.gov" watermark in the corner and typical social media metrics, including thousands of retweets and likes.

By "innovative" "end-to-end operational hubs," it sounds like ICE are trying to CONCENTRATE their operations in a CAMP-like environment, no?

NEW from @jennifershutt.bsky.social: Experts on defense spending say the cost of weeks of air bombing will mount into the billions of dollars, a sum that will balloon if ground troops are sent into Iran to undertake regime change and if the war extends for months to come.

Russians say Iran attack shows U.S. can’t be trusted in Ukraine talks As Washington focuses on its push to topple Iran’s government, delaying talks on Russia’s war in Ukraine, some in Moscow say the Kremlin must achieve its goals militarily.

Now they're insulting Trump, yet he stays submissive to Putin.

Something’s up with Trump/Russia.

Is it Trump/Russia/Epstein?

Trump and the Coronavirus

I wrote a lot about the coverage of Trump’s response to the pandemic, and here is what was clear all along: He had no real plan to restore the country to health other than to peddle false hope, predict a quick end, adopt fake deadlines and shift the blame to others. The most urgent need was to test, test, test, and either he didn’t get it or he didn’t want to know the results because they would “look bad”. The media blew its coverage by letting political reporters lead instead of health and science reporters. Political reporters paid way too much attention to whatever Trump said, such that whatever it was made headlines. They let Trump set the agenda instead of letting knowledgeable people do it. Political reporters also gave Trump way too much credit for trying. They covered up for his incoherence,  ignorance,  cluelessness,  gaslighting, and yes, just plain stupidity. They failed to properly exploit their rare access to him by confronting him with facts and piercing his bubble. They remained complacent in the face of a massive death toll, instead of relentlessly demanding more forceful action.

History repeats itself. Remember how devastatingly incompetent Trump was during Covid? How he had no plan? And how news outlets didn’t call him on it? Let me refresh your memory: presswatchers.org/category/tru...
