I believe many (most?) of those in MAGA know something is amiss in the country. But they are, as I was, heavily emotionally invested in the MAGA community; it is what has shaped their identity, being and personhood. To leave that, and their MAGA family, behind is a very frightening prospect.

We lost the Lyme vaccine. Under Rand Paul's new vaccine liability bill, we'll lose more. The End the Vaccine Carveout Act would expose vaccine makers to lawsuits that once drove companies out of the industry.

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

A female agent wearing a gaiter-style mask rolled down the window, leaned out — and addressed Emily by name.

"She yelled, 'Emily, Emily, we're going to take you home!' Then she looked at her phone and she recited my home address," she says.

Pete Hegseth Treats Fallen American Soldiers as a PR Problem His use of the Iran war dead to attack the media was disgraceful.

Pete Hegseth, if he does not resign, should at least get out of the way and let better men than him talk to the nation and to the press.

I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it:

Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspended—and so were my wife's.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

ICE took their papers—and won’t give them back Immigrants are being released from detention without documents proving their status.

After Isabel was released from a Minnesota detention center, ICE didn't return her work permit, ID, checks worth $700, or her daughter’s US passport.

She's one of many now missing key immigration and identity documents.

I’m glad for the release. I just don’t understand how the president has such arbitrary and individual power. I grew up with “a nation of laws, not men” and all that. We learned it in civics class. Everything seems so … Caesaristic now.

The president, who drones on about protecting women’s sports, publicly mocked the women’s gold-medal hockey team. A reminder this was never about protecting women’s sports and it was always about transphobia and misogyny.

Police drug tests are notoriously unreliable. They got this man wrongly charged with trafficking fentanyl. Roughly 30,000 people every year may be getting wrongfully arrested because of unreliable field drug tests, according to one estimate.

Got a doozy for you guys: A man was pulled over by South Carolina cops and charged with trafficking fentanyl after police tested his prescription IBS medication using notoriously unreliable field kits.

It took him a year and a half to clear his name reason.com/2026/02/23/h...

When police can keep seized cash, abuse follows A whistleblower alleges more than $400,000 in diverted money, highlighting how civil forfeiture incentives undermine accountability and public trust.

Civil forfeiture allows law enforcement to self-fund with little accountability. Until those incentives are removed, it will remain a fertile breeding ground for waste, fraud, and abuse.
