Short term, medium term, long term: We have to stop funding ICE. Period.

#stopICE

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Power to the People!

What a humongous piece of shit

This ICE-hole aimed a grenade launcher directly at a protester’s face outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles. The woman bravely gave zero fucks and stared the thug down.

“Because They Got Married and Changed Their Names, They Have to Go Down to a Clerk and Prove They’re Citizens?” Rep. Katherine Clark Raises Concerns That GOP Voter ID Measure Could Disadvantage Women ... Rep.

STOP WOMEN FROM VOTING!!!

“They’re saying this is a voter ID bill? That is NOT what’s happening here

Women, because they got married & changed their names, they have to go down to a clerk & prove they’re citizens, sign affidavits, & do this in person

A minefield of red tape put in front of women"

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total.

The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

A handwritten sign taped to a window advertises personalized pork pies for Valentine’s Day. The sign includes a request to ask a staff member about sizes and mentions message options.

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market. Vaccines for Epstein-Barr virus, herpes, and shingles have been shelved.” 9:12 AM Feb 12, 2026 604.8K Views

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Notice how “resigned” keeps meaning “got caught.”

FAA’s El Paso Flip-Flop Has Aviation Experts Scratching Their Heads The FAA’s unprecedented flip-flop in closing El Paso airspace—only to reopen it hours later—is raising questions from aviation safety experts.

Local and State Police Can Investigate Federal Agents, But Rarely Do It doesn’t happen often, but local law enforcement can arrest and charge federal agents. Legal experts say there’s a moral obligation to at least try to hold federal immigration officers accountable w...

“Unfortunately, because Congress is not taking any steps to rein ICE officers in, there really is no option other than states protecting their constituents’ rights," said Joanna Schwartz, a law professor at UCLA.

Verge headline: ICE is pushing Minneapolis underground by Gaby Del Valle Photos by Jack Califano Photo depicts a white brick wall plastered with two recurring posters: One that says Alex Pretty ICU Nurse - Murdered by ICE, shows his photo with red highlights. Another is similar but reads Renee Nicole Good American Mom - Murdered by ICE

ICE may have lost the battle for public opinion, and its operation may be hampered by local pushback, but it has succeeded in one respect: It has instilled terror in Minnesota’s immigrant communities, forcing them into the shadows.

Former US envoys say Nato not a ‘charity’ but vital for security

You can't prove received wisdom wrong if you don't try... and you've got to give China credit for not being afraid to try. A step on the way to serious reduction of shipping emissions by 2050? Or an expensive experiment with niche coastal uses? Time will tell!

MeidasTouch Was Front Row for the Pam Bondi Meltdown Yesterday, Pam Bondi didn’t deliver testimony.

Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche should not be practicing law, and they certainly should not be the most powerful prosecutors in the US.
After Bondi's performance yesterday, she should be impeached by a large majority and investigated for her role in this heinous coverup

Howard Lutnick misled the American people about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein because he didn't want to admit he continued interacting with Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor.
 
It's a disgrace. Lutnick needs to resign as Secretary of Commerce.

Happy Thursday! We are almost through the week! The entire NJ sunrise was amazing this morning but this pre-show won the coffee shop vote because of its cloud composition and the reflective kiss of light right along the shoreline. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!
