Tulsi Gabbard and Trump's scheme to gut the intel agencies It's hard to envision a less suited intelligence chief. Thatโ€™s a feature, not a bug.

I was, sadly, correct last November that Tulsi Gabbard, and her lower key, but no less paranoid, conspiratorial sidekick CIA Director John Ratcliffe, would rapidly transform the nation's intelligence agencies into disinformation services on Trump's behalf.

Whatever your disdain for ICE agents, the ultimate blame here lies with Trump and his promises of mass deportation, Stephen Millerโ€™s deportation targets, and the voters that empowered them. This is the version of America they created, even if some of those voters are having buyers remorse now.

The Trump administration is trying to bring back asbestos According to newly released court filings, the EPA is 'reconsidering' a 2024 ban on the last legal form of asbestos still used in the U.S.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans have died from asbestos-related diseases, with annual deaths continuing in the tens of thousands.
Asbestos removal is very expensive, cutting into corporate profits. Trump is getting his pockets lined & Americans will die.

How My Reporting on the Columbia Protests Led to My Deportation As an Australian who wrote about the demonstrations while on campus, I gave my phone a superficial clean before flying to the U.S. I underestimated what I was up against.

This is shocking. Pure totalitarianism from DHS, and also blatantly unconstitutional.
