Gov. Sherrill comes out strongly against the ICE plan for a prison in Roxbury:
"DHS's treatment of human beings - citizen and noncitizen alike - reflects a chilling disregard for both human life and the rule of law. New Jersey will not be complicit in this."

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe whatβs happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropicβs AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.
Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

Senator calls for DEA to provide info on "incredibly disturbing" Epstein drug investigation
Federal drug enforcement investigators targeted Jeffrey Epstein and 14 others in a yearslong probe first reported by CBS News.
This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

There were over 300 farm bankruptcies in 2025, with over a third of those bankruptcies here in the Midwest.

This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. Itβs standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.

This is a type of ICE "ruse," and is a tactic the agency has deployed for decades.
In 2015, ICE went to my former client's house posing as cops and convinced his 16-year-old US citizen niece to call him home from work with a fake story (the "identity theft ruse" explained below), then arrested him.

Trump, seeking executive power over elections, is urged to declare emergency
Activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a draft executive order that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.
I have worked on 264 legal cases & matters against the Trump administration, including helping secure the injunction to stop his first executive order on elections
If he tries this, it will be 265
