Remember when Rep. Greg Gianforte, now the GOP governor of the state, body slammed a reporter into a table?

We probably need to shut down the Montana Republican Party entirely until we can figure out where all this violent rage is coming from.

Trump's trade policies have exactly the impact on US manufacturing that most macroeconomists said they would.

Noem won't rule out ICE agents at polls She repeatedly refused to definitely say that agents would not patrol polls during midterms this November.

Although DHS Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed that her agency currently had β€œno plans” to deploy ICE officers to the polls this November, she did not entirely rule it out.

In fact, Noem suggested it could be a viable option if Democrats somehow β€œplan on” having undocumented people vote.

Americans Stranded in the Middle East Are Having a Hard Time Getting Help From the State Department β€œPlease do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation,” a State department hotline said when NOTUS called Tuesday afternoon.

Americans in the Middle East calling the U.S. State Department hotline after Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Americans to contact it were hearing an automated message saying, β€œPlease do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time.”

ICE taking steps to close detention center at Fort Bliss, document shows Preparations to shutter Camp East Montana in El Paso come less than eight months after facility’s opening, according to an internal ICE document.

If true, in the words of the @washingtonpost.com, this will end "a tumultuous experiment in large-scale detention where three detainees died."

The word tumultuous seems to be doing rather a lot of work there.

At some point the dam is going to break. Taking videos and blowing whistles is not going to cut it. MAGA is a death-cult. This video makes me absolutely seethe with rage.

A Running Count of How Many People ICE Has Killed and Injured - The American Prospect ICE is not required to report any use-of-force incidents against the public. So The American Prospect created our own running tally.

We updated our record of people immigration agents have killed or caused to die since Trump took office in January 2025.

As of today, agents have killed at least 28 people in the field and 48 people in custody.

The DOJ has been taking down Epstein files. Here's what remains. The massive tranche of files the Justice Department currently maintains is more than 65,000 pages shorter than what the agency initially released.

Hmm -- with a generous estimate of cramming in 400 people per plane, it'll take 2500 flights to evacuate 1 million Americans from the Middle East. Then there are the other countries jockeying for runways/airspace for their own citizens. Do we really think they're all going to make it out safely?

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very oftenβ€”and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

On the 6 US service members who were killed: β€œPrior to the attack, there were discussions on the ground about whether the tactical ops center should not be used, as it concentrated too many troops in a location that wasn’t defensible.” www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-st...

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.
