How a Planned Disney World Vacation Turned Into Four Months in Immigration Detention A 9-year-old shares her story of being held at the nation’s only operating detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas.

Report: ICE Officials Ignored Clear Warning Signs Before Killings ICE officials were well aware that their officers were using force in reckless and inappropriate ways before an officer shot Renee Nicole Good to death in Minneapolis.

Pam Bondi was definitely covering for Trump. There are credible accusations in the Epstein Files that Trump raped a child. She was a witness in Maxwell's case helping convict her and successfully settled a lawsuit with Epstein's estate.

There’s a lot to investigate and report on from today’s stunning deposition of Les Wexner. But here’s something I can’t get over.

I asked Mr. Wexner if the DOJ or FBI ever contacted him to ask him about Epstein and his crimes. He said NO. That’s outrageous and unforgivable.

Dan Koh: In the last year, this leader tried to take sovereign land unilaterally, use the justice system to jail enemies, & actively shut down independent media voices

That was Vladimir Putin—the fact that so many ppl thought I was describing Trump right now shows how much our democracy is at risk

This. Every damn bit of it.

Kudos to Stephen Colbert for standing up for himself and against tyranny.

I've always been a fan of his — going way back to the Colbert Report years.

I enjoyed chatting with him in August. Here's a brief clip from our discussion.

NEW: ICE Confiscates Children's Letters at Dilley Concentration Camp. I've filed a FOIA Request to Get Them ProPublica recently published heart-wrenching letters from children at Dilley. ICE then raided the dormitories to confiscate and destroy those letters. I've filed a Freedom of Information Act Request.

NEW: ICE has raided dormitories at the Dilley concentration camp to confiscate letters from children per @pabloreports.bsky.social. I have filed a FOIA request for them. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social: the second we get anything, we will send it to you. 1/ www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-ice-co...

It’s obvious that there are many many questions after Wexner’s testimony. But did Rep. @robertgarcia.bsky.social forget this? www.ms.now/news/greene-...

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 enslavers were on “firm scriptural ground.”

FYI: DHS has issued hundreds of administrative subpoenas to social media companies to identify users who criticize the Trump administration, ICE, & government agencies.

Subpoenas have been sent to Google, Meta (Facebook/Instagram), Reddit, Discord, others.

Big Oil immunity bill in the works, House Representative announces | Center for Climate Integrity Following a year of Big Oil lobbying, U.S. House Representative Harriet Hageman (R-WY) is crafting legislation to “tackle” climate accountability laws and lawsuits.

A House rep is working on a bill to shield Big Oil from climate accountability lawsuits.

This dangerous proposal would
❌ bar courthouse doors for communities
💰 stick taxpayers with the bill for climate damages
😡 bail out polluters from paying for the mess they made

📣 No immunity for Big Oil! 📣

DAN RATHER on The SAVE Act Trump trying to subvert the election: “This election is shaping up to be one of the most consequential of my lifetime. The very foundation of our constitutional republic, based on principles of freedom & democracy, is at stake.” open.substack.com/pub/steady/p...

Conservative US District Judge Cynthia Rufe, a George W Bush appointee, begins her bitingly accurate opinion against the Trump Administration's attempt to rewrite history at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia with a direct quote from George Orwell's "1984."

The disruptive climate crisis makes hot weather hotter and cold, colder. This year, our overheated planet has been making some of our weather much colder and in Washington much snowier.

Noem's use of Coast Guard resources strains her relationship with the military branch, sources say Some early decisions by the homeland security secretary, including to divert Coast Guard resources from a search and rescue mission to the deportation of immigrants, set the tone early.

"When Lewandowski was told Noem's personal items had been left behind, including a heated blanket, he yelled at Coast Guard staff

The pilot came out of cockpit to see what was happening & Lewandowski insisted plane return to collect Noem's items

When he refused, Lewandowski announced he was fired"

A central figure in our government. Shameful shit.
