It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.

Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.

β€œMartinez was not protesting - he was driving by the scene of a road accident where ICE officers were helping to direct traffic…That he was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

So, they've already "apologized and surrendered," but the US is still going to "hit [them] very hard" today? And specifically, we're going to hit "areas and groups of people" not previously considered threats?

okay so this seems pretty clear. he knows what it is, he did it on purpose, he chose keeping it over his career with the Marines, if we know this then Susan Collins will also know it, it will 100% come up in the general, let's be done talking about this guy as a real candidate

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

My report:

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Himes: I have a theory on how this ends…

You’re going to see oil go across $100… Projections for economic growth are going to go down.

And at some point in 3-5 weeks, the president is going to say this is really not tenable. And he’s going to declare victory and walk away.

We know this administration loves to lie, they claimed they’ve pulled out of Minneapolis but things have largely stayed the same if not gotten worse. They’re still bringing in more vehicles, the same ones we’ve seen them cause crashes with.

idk man maybe start telling anti-vax parents they’re shitty parents. because they are, whether they intend to be or not.

maybe the public health message should be β€œthis is child abuseβ€œ because it is.

No surprises. And remember, this is based on pre-Iran War data.

They blew up or drowned 150 people with absolutely no justification and it was a 10-minute story.

Are we going to have people pretend that this isn’t something the US does as well? Maybe it was Claude?

My university received a few years ago the promise of the largest single gift to a public university in U.S. history. It was equivalent to 12 hours of bombing Iran.

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

the US has already lost in iran, their only hope was iran collapsing in a day or two, and it didn't, so now their only options are to declare victory & slink away or try to put boots on the ground & lose way harder

This is my actual objection. Our entire jobs have been transformed overnight into entirely different jobs, of far less social worth, and with zero relationship to the reason most of us got into them in the first place. All we want to do is contribute and AI billionaires are like HAHA NOPE.

Disgraced Kristi Noem will go down in history as a bigoted cabinet member who oversaw the killing of Americans and the terrorizing of our communities.

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

Ding dong the bitch is gone; and I'll be glad not to see her butchered face any longer, but make no mistake the system remains.

Do not let them distract you with a game of whack-a-mole.

No rest until abolition. Of ICE. Of CBP. Of DHS. Of every system that is predicated on dehumanization.

this is so unhinged on so many levels

there were hundreds of veterans on the hill today for a joint hearing this morning and some other things going on...Sheehy should probably stay inside tonight
