UPDATE: Sunny, a U.S. citizen, is on her way home after being shipped across state lines overnight.
How the hell did this happen?
Press conference tomorrow at Broadview, where we will hear Sunny’s side of the story. More details soon.
Rep. Wesley Hunt: "What I trust is that if we behave precisely and act in a way that has a strong destructive impact on these countries, that we don't have to get involved in these long wars. You have to trust the process."
Allies of the Trump administration are reportedly circulating a document that they say would grant the president sweeping powers over elections, including the ability to ban mail-in ballots, by declaring a national emergency over disproven allegations of interference by China in the 2020 election.
The trajectory looks like this:
Puerto Rico was the alpha build.
Fulton is the beta test.
The target is the 2026 midterms.
If they can retrofit a legal justification for this, the "haphazard" raid becomes a scalable model for mass election disruption.
Well, we finally have the smoking gun on the nine-month delay.
A letter dated Feb 7, 2026, from ODNI General Counsel to Whistleblower Aid, confirms exactly how the intelligence community sandbagged a highly sensitive whistleblower complaint.

The Jan 28 raid wasn't a one-off. It's part of an escalation pattern starting with Puerto Rico in May 2025. Think prototype, not endgame.

Congress approved a housing assistance payment to troops months ago.
Trump stole it from housing, turned it into checks in a symbolic amount, and pretended it was all his idea.
Typical Trump. Gold plated, not solid gold.
Protesters swarmed an ICE facility in Durango, CO demanding two children detained with their father be released to their mother. Durango Police say they also offered to help reunite the kids with their mother. They were unsuccessful.
An Idaho mother was brutally beaten and zip-tied by ICE in front of her three U.S. citizen children.

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970
The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside

They constantly let America down
JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

CNN’s Van Jones is among 16 mainstream journalists—including two New York Times reporters—serving as mentors in a new journalism fellowship explicitly created to help Israel's Likud regime win its “information war” against Palestinians.
"Once citizens begin to view their own government’s security forces as an occupying army, violence becomes inevitable. Trump’s team knows this. In fact, that’s the point. They are not trying to restore order; they’re trying to trigger the very unrest that would justify further crackdowns." […]
this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)
As the South becomes the new epicenter of data center growth, it is becoming increasingly clear that Big Tech is following Big Oil’s footsteps.
Just watch. She'll file a lawsuit because her 1st amendment right to make public comments in a bikini was denied. Her personal lawyer is Harmeet Dillon of the DOJ's civil rights division. Doing her best to bring the regime's scrutiny and repression to our town.
What is the current on the ground status of the National Guard in Chicago? I haven't read that any have been deployed as of yet. Anything confirmed?
Trump sicced the National Guard on LA, ramping up immigrant arrests in a city that’s been targeted by ICE for months.

If Abrego Garcia's deportation seems imminent, Governor Moore should direct the Maryland State Police to arrest him instead
We're all dealing with fires everywhere, but we really have to understand the Texas situation as an inferno. The fact that Republicans have skipped any pretense or noises about fairness and are just openly, blatantly cheating the process as a power grab is remarkable. They feel untouchable.
Israel's Depravity Will Always Find New Ways To Shock You
A doctor in Gaza named Nick Maynard reports that Israeli snipers are now shooting starving civilians in different body parts on different days, based on the injuries people show up with for treatment.
