His last words to the ICE agents: "I'm sorry, sir."

Clearly someone who posed a threat and was trying to run them over.

"After he's shot three times, Martinez is seen being pulled from his vehicle, thrown to the ground by an ICE agent, face down, and then handcuffed. Personnel on the scene are not seen in the video providing medical care until after he is handcuffed."

"When gunshots are heard in the video, the brake lights of Martinez' vehicle appear to be on."

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

Buttigieg: You’ve got money from the Middle East going into the Trump family crypto fund while you have Americans going to the Middle East for Donald Trump’s war.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

I knew Russia would have its nose in there somewhere. Russia and Iran have been playing footsies under the table for quite some time.

As I have said since Feb 2025, Trump is in office to solve Putin's problems. How else are you going to ensure that Putin's failed state becomes prosperous? it is already having to be propped up by China.

It's past 6:00pm Eastern Time.

ICE once again failed to release congressionally-mandated detention statistics on its typical biweekly schedule.

The last update was on February 12, 2026. Four weeks ago.

It is impossible for anyone younger the 50 to understand how grotesque and unoriginal this is. It’s always the small group of advisors or tactical team.

AFTER Putin reportedly shared U.S. weapons positions with Iran? How….odd.

You can view all the clips from the DOGE raid on USIP that I uploaded—which were obtained via my FOIA lawsuit against DC Metropolitan Police—here: www.youtube.com/@marisa_kabas

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.

The footage shows that at one point an MPD officer asks Jackson and the DOGE lawyer if the USIP building is owned by the General Services Administration (which typically deals with the federal government’s real estate). “It’s a private building, and that’s why we need MPD,” Jackson says.

The most tense moment is when DOGE, USIP and MPD all converge in one of the hallways. USIP outside counsel George Foote tries to better understand how the DOGE got into the building in the first place, but he's shut down. “I’m asking the questions, not you,” Trump's new USIP president said.

MPD used an extensive locksmith set to break open doors in the USIP building—included knives. At one point in the footage, there were two knives on one lock simultaneously, creating what appeared to be a dangerous situation. Fortunately no one was hurt.

After the DOGE group showed up but before MPD arrived, the USIP building had been placed in lockdown mode, meaning all interior doors were locked and elevators were no longer operable. So once in the building, MPD needed to manually break down interior doors to give Trump's team full access.

SCOOP — 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:

The US economy lost 92,000 jobs last month, far worse than expected.

Trump has privately shown serious interest in U.S. ground troops in Iran The president’s private comments have not focused on a large-scale ground invasion of Iran, but rather on the idea of a small contingent of U.S. troops that would be used for specific strategic purposes, sources say.

Kristi Noem wasn't fired, she was promoted.

She is now the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas™, a position created specifically for her just yesterday. Along with Rubio and Hegseth, she'll be overseeing the White House’s efforts to "control" Latin America.

Kosovo and the Great Air Power Debate

We also experienced this with Serbia, where air power didn't really start to work until the KLA started engaging on the ground. (Byman and Waxman before they were BYMAN and WAXMAN!)

I think one reason that many of us are skeptical that the regime in Tehran will fall with airpower alone is that the US also tried this in Iraq in 1991, as Operation Desert Storm transitioned into the no-fly zones of Operations Provide Comfort I/II. 👇

A chart shows the daily number of posts on 4chan’s “Adult Requests” imageboard recorded by Open Measures between Mar. 1, 2025, and Mar. 1, 2026. Daily activity on the imageboard nearly tripled over the analysis period we reviewed, peaking in January 2026.

Also... some reporters and researchers have been writing off 4chan as a dying website. That's so untrue it's absurd.

Daily activity on this single board, which is all but dedicated to nonconsensual deepfakes now, nearly TRIPLED over the past year.

NEW: One of the most active hubs for sexually explicit AI "deepfakes" is hiding in plain sight. My latest takes a hard look at a 4chan board that's acting as a factory floor for online sexual abuse — where its users have victimized untold numbers of women and girls.
