Judge rules ICE must limit number of detainees held in Baltimore facility
DOJ has produced, and Judge Boasberg has ordered unsealed, transcripts from three hearings in the investigations that led to Trump's federal indictments.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is investigating the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who died in the cold streets of Buffalo days after Border Patrol dumped him without coordinating with his family or lawyers.
This is marvelous. MUST WATCH
Extraordinary use of the word extraordinary.
The article is very matter of fact "this is how business is done".
The corruption of Trump, his GOP Administration, and at the New York Times, that aided his political rise, is staggering.
What a weird thing. SO much great reporting went into this, and zero indication how abnormal and amoral is this pardon industry.

A federal judge has been asked to block Trump from closing and razing the Kennedy Center. "This is a case about the ongoing desecration and impending destruction of a cherished
national monument," the lawsuit says. f9c23fd5-1644-4a5f-a561-d04e6b5736d6.usrfiles.com/ugd/f9c23f_b...
This is excellent, and yes, as with many other issues, when it comes to free expression it won't be enough just to roll back Trumpism. When/if reasonable people control the government, we need to make big changes for the better.
Leavitt: "The overall mission in this operation is to ensure that Iran can never again possess a nuclear weapon. That was the real imminent threat that was posed by Iran." (Iran never had a nuclear weapon!)
This is like covering a baseball game, me rooming the hits, home runs and strike outs but not mentioning the final score.
NYT is timid and weak. You donβt get a full & accurate picture from @nytimes.com
In needs to be said clearly and often in order to counter the sinister disinformation tactics used by Trump and those propping up his regime
Unfortunately leaving the obvious unsaid doesn't work like it may have 40 years ago. Too many people have come up under an educational system that has devalued civic education for most of that time because it isn't a job skill.

Weigh in: Should this NYT article about Trumpβs corrupt βpardon industryβ have called out the extreme perversion of justice? Or is it better left unsaid? https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/us/politics/schwartz-trump-pardon-industry.html?unlocked_article_code=1.RFA.JwF1.cR6ZsIPqXn55&smid=url-share
I would love it if we as an industry could be blunt and precise about what is happening. Trump is hiding the human cost of war and the media is helping. There's no good reason to soften it.
I too remember the earlier, woke wars. tons of spent microaggression munitions strewn about everywhere, friends crying out for God as they were slowly cancelled...look, if you weren't there, you'll never understand

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.
