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.

Exclusive: Key US infectious-diseases centre to drop pandemic preparation
Staff members have been instructed to scrub this topic and βbiodefenseβ from the agencyβs website.
Scoop: The NIH infectious-diseases institute (NIAID) will soon scrub βpandemic preparednessβ and βbiodefenseβ from its web pages, according to e-mails I obtained.
The directive is the start of a broader shake-up at NIAID, which has long been attacked by Republicans.

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

Horrific conditions discovered as lawmaker makes unannounced drop-in at ICE facility
A Democrat revealed on Thursday that he witnessed horrific conditions for immigrants detained at a local Immigration and Customs Enforcement holding facility. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) posted on X that...
"Noem has a budget of $75 billion she could use to ensure humane conditions, but we saw 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder, 24-hours-a-day, with a single toilet in the room and no shower facilities. They sleep like sardines with aluminum foil blankets."

Tremendous, timeless words to meditate upon, composed a thousand years ago:
βdo not see the faults of others, keep secret their wrongdoings, and advise them only when no one can hear.

Because of the βBig Beautiful Billβ that GOP voted for.

Lutnick and Epstein were in business together, Epstein files show
Though the commerce secretary has called his interactions with Epstein as "limited," the two were in business together four years after Epstein's 2008 guilty plea.
Uh oh. Howard Lutnick & Epstein were IN BUSINESS TOGETHER as recently as 2014. Lying Lutnick caught again.
Yet ANOTHER revelation of the Lutnick-Epstein friendship.
(Lying Lutnick said he met Epstein once in 2005 and never had contact with him again.)

Seems like it should be a bigger story that a witness swore under penalty of perjury that Donald Trump threatened a young girl, saying she would βdisappear like another 12-year-old.β

Yes, the SCOTUS HAS BECOME ILLEGIT. But it is the partisan politicians (who nominate and confirm SCOTUS justices) who over time have neutered ALL checks and balances on the presidency. And it is the desperation of one party, based on obvious demographics, that caused these corruptions to our govt.π

In Bay Area, Felony Charges Against Student Protesters Prompt Free Speech Concerns
Local prosecutors are seeking felony-level charges against pro-Palestine demonstrators. Even if they donβt stick, critics say the response is harsh and could chill protests.
The decision by two Bay Area DAs to pursue felony conspiracy charges against student protesters has critics concerned about the growing push to suppress protest. βThatβs really concerning for the health of our democracy.β
