“Abolish ICE” and even “Prosecute ICE” are giving way to “Make ICE stand trial before the Revolutionary Tribunal”

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, but the administration has continued jailing people indefinitely.

He was using CFPB funds for this too, at least at one point

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

first time in new york since zohran took office and other than having to recite the shahada on arrival at laguardia nothing much has changed

NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note:

Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

Love how colon cancer keeps killing people under 50 and yet insurance doesn't cover colonoscopy without cost-sharing until age 45.

I just paid $1,584 out of pocket for mine thanks to my deductible and copays

In 2015, Martin Shkreli became the most hated man in America by raising the price of Daraprim – an antiparasitic essential for immunocompromised patients – from $17.50 to $750 per pill.

How much does Daraprim cost today? $750 per pill.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

The part I want to add is that oral argument on this case was on Wednesday. So, I’d guess this was all written up already.

Clapping my flippers together and honking like a harbor seal when a Super Bowl ad for a condiment or gambling app featuring two celebrities unexpectedly reveals a third celebrity as its punchline. Bouncing a ball around on my snout. My wife has to throw me a herring to get me to calm down.

In arguing that President Trump possesses no animus toward federal employees: "The President has also praised specific categories of Federal employees, such as when he told Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees 'we love you, we support you, and we will always have your back.'"

Virginia Democrats Propose New Congressional Maps Ahead of Midterms As they appeal a ruling blocking their redistricting efforts, the state’s Democrats proposed redrawing districts in a way that would strongly favor them.

As they appeal a ruling blocking them from redistricting for the midterms, Virginia Democrats proposed a congressional map on Thursday that would aggressively gerrymander the state in their favor.

Elizabeth Zuna Caisaguano, 11 years old. In dreadful ICE detention for nearly a month.

Homeland Security is targeting Americans with this secretive legal weapon Under Trump, the Department of Homeland Security has weaponized administrative subpoenas to attack free speech, according to privacy and civil rights groups.

This is absolutely insane: DHS claims the right to subpoena your emails and to send investigators to your house. In this case, because a retiree sent the mildest possible criticism to a prosecutor. No judges involved.

Elon Musk claims Christopher Nolan has lost ‘integrity’ over The Odyssey casting Lupita Nyong’o is reportedly set to play Helen of Troy in Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of Homer’s epic poem

The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.

Some jawdropping CBP crime statistics here...

“That’s where ICE dragged a pregnant woman through the snow.”

"That’s where they killed Renee Nicole Good."

Crime scenes, but too many to tape off individually. A crime scene that’s a life-size map of the world.

Pundits will tell you Democrats have extraordinary problems that are going to limit their chances of being successful in 2026.
Political scientists will tell you that in a two-team market, all you have to do is be the other team to win big when the incumbent team is screwing things up massively.

Here’s Duke behavioral economist Dan Ariely asking Jeffrey Epstein for “the name and email of the redhead that was here with you.” This is four years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.

Abolish ICE? Obviously. But also Abolish Palantir or we could end up back here in no time

Visa announces it will allow customers to direct credit card rewards into Trump accounts.

Trump is calling the move a “big deal.”

Visa, the largest credit card processsor in the US, is facing an antitrust lawsuit filed under Biden's DOJ.

The Fulton County raid should cause Senate Dems to stop voting for anything allowing this admin to function. Trump may use this “investigation” to claim that Biden was an illegitimate president and that everything he did—every rule, every law passed—was invalid unless specifically ratified by Trump

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules

According to allegations in the lawsuit, brought by Jon Joyner and eventually followed by other CBP employees seeking remedy for discrimination, Bovino canceled a job posting and then surreptitiously hired a white supervisor into the role over a number of other qualified applicants. Court records show that during the hiring process, the man Bovino selected for a senior role, Christopher Bullock, wrote that Bovino was like a confederate general, set to liberate a fort from Black union soldiers.

I remember when Yglesias and others treated @jamellebouie.net like he was being hysterical for saying the administration was seeking to resegregate, but the guy that's been their poster child on the ground already had this on his public record prospect.org/2026/01/27/i...

An incredible and well-deserved humiliation
