At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Gas Prices Continue to Surge in U.S., Rising 14% in a Week

Savagely abusing migrants and communities and shooting US citizens in the process might not cause Republicans in Congress to want to get tough with Trump, but a 14% hike in gas prices will certainly get their attention. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/b...

Alabama needs a governor who care for all its people and vital institutions. The failure to expand #Medicaid doesn’t just rob low income people of healthcare. It causes rural hospitals to close, doctors to leave, and makes #healthcare less accessible for everyone. Vote @dougforalabama.bsky.social

War crimes enthusiast wants to remove impediments to more war crimes. Those pesky Geneva Conventions are ruining his fun.

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

So apparently the US has decided that the Geneva Conventions don’t apply to it anymore.

Trump to Rubio: "Your next one is gonna be Cuba. He's waiting but he says, 'Let's get this one finished first.' We could do them all at the same time, but bad things happen."

Instead of addressing DHS’s deadly abuses, Republicans are taking up a bill to force state and local law enforcement to help round up immigrants by threatening to cut off funding if they do not comply.

This does not make our communities safer.

The US must have a role in choosing Iran’s next leader, Trump says - but it has no idea who that might be after having incompetently killed all the people it had in mind.

Of course, the President’s version of the truth could just as easily be a lie. Or, even more likely, they both lied.

I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now!

Trump is announcing his nominee.

That's it.

If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of thisβ€”even after knowing what they know now.

And that matters come November.

RAJU: You'll concede this is war?

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: We haven't declared war. They declared war on us

RAJU: The president called it war and Secretary Hegseth called it war

REPORTER: When you walked up just now, you called it war

MULLIN: Okay. That was a misspoke.

So they aren’t going to protect their own human rights? Because he just described the administration - people who torture and rape and murder.

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred Gov DeSantis from designating CAIR as a terrorist organization and punish those who associate with the group.
