Canadian military aims to show it can go it alone in the Arctic Trump’s threats to make Canada the 51st U.S. state have pushed Canada to rethink relations with its neighbor. But defending the Arctic is too much for any one country.

ICE detained more than 70 Minnesota children, data reveals Immigration officials detained more than 70 Minnesota children between Dec. 1 and March 10, a Sahan analysis of court records and federal deportation data shows.

This was never about the worst of the worst.

We have continually demanded answers about how many of our children were taken into federal detention. Trump’s DHS has continually refused to give us information.

This week is the Annual Epidemic Intelligence Conference, one of CDCs flagship events. Usually, this conference is open and free to the public. But this year, on its 75th anniversary, we’ve been muzzled. It’s taking place on CDC campus with only CDC staff and recruiters in attendance.

I've been seeing fewer and fewer Trump flags, too.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

The Senate voted 50-49 to overturn Biden’s 20-year mining ban next to the Boundary Waters, clearing the way for a Chilean company to dig a sulfide-ore copper mine directly upstream of America’s most visited wilderness. Sen. Tina Smith held the floor for hours trying to stop it.

🧵 White House issued a Christian nationalist proclamation:

"Together, we will honor Holy Scripture, renew our faith, usher in a historic resurgence of religion on American shores, and rededicate the United States as one Nation under God."

Why is this dangerous?

Time to clean out the SCOTUS.

Alt text: Screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Abdulkhaleq Abdulla (@Abdulkhaleq_UAE), with a verified badge. The post reads: “This is what I told Reuters today: The UAE no longer needs America to defend it, as it has proven during the Iranian aggression that it is capable of defending itself with distinction. What the UAE needs is to acquire only the best and latest weapons that America has. Therefore, it is time to think about closing the American bases, as they are a burden and not a strategic asset.” The post is labeled “Translated from Arabic by Grok” and shows a timestamp of 10:21 AM · 4/19/26 with 139K views.

NEW: UAE scholar Abdulkhaleq Abdulla says the UAE no longer needs U.S. protection, calling American bases a “burden, not a strategic asset” and suggesting they should be closed. The United States’ standing in the region has been obliterated.

Top military officials kept Trump out of the situation room during the rescue of downed soldiers bc of his erratic behavior. This is more proof that he isn’t fit to be president and is a threat to national security. This needs to be top news.

Trump keeps saying “we lose nothing” and Iran “loses $500 million a day.” In reality, Americans pay more for fuel while export profits flow to oil companies, and those “empty” tankers he brags about are heading to load U.S. crude for Europe and Asia—not to bring relief at home.

House Judiciary Democrats are launching a new investigation into Trump son-in-law — and Iran ceasefire negotiator — Jared Kushner, citing his "glaring and incurable conflict of interest."

"To whom do your professional obligations and fiduciary duties belong?"

Whoa!

Probably because the Government decided to charge them an unbearably high lease to justify shutting them down.
Or they're lying.
It's probably that.

DOGE turbocharged the deficit.

There appears to be a pattern of sorts happening in the U.S. The national media isn’t covering many of these fires happening across the country. However, local media networks are and you have to search for them. This is what I’ve found so far.

It is not a conspiracy anymore.
