1/2. Notice that after losing the war Trump threatens his allies rather than Russia — even though Russia quite literally helped Iran defeat the US and he knows it.
Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel.
King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.
If you're gonna use the term, save TACO for situations where Trump can reverse himself, and damage is financial or abstract. This is not that. This is a madman taking the world hostage, causing death and global chaos, sparing us from civilizational ruin for his own opaque reasons. No moving past it.
This is not a tenable way to live.
Thank you.
The State Department should do everything in its power to secure the release of U.S. journalist Shelly Kittleson — who was kidnapped in Baghdad Tuesday — without escalating the illegal war that may have endangered her in the first place.
Documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY exposing how ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts.

One good thing: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Done. 💙
Quick reminder that each and every day of what we are living through is absolutely fucking insane.
CROCKETT: Professor, are you saying you believe it's constitutional for the US to blow up people that are accused of being drug traffickers?
"It's not going to be a yes or no answer"
CROCKETT: I'm going to stop you there. It's unconstitutional.
Rand Paul:
“I just wonder if someone who applauds violence against their political opponents is the right person to lead an agency that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use of force.”
The entire confirmation hearing in one sentence.
WATCH: Fourteen-year-old Ariana spent more than 45 days at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.

You can't toss someone under the bus when you are the bus.
An astounding statement from a federal judge about the executive branch, generally; the Justice Department, more particularly; and these subpoenas, specifically.

It was 80 degrees in NYC yesterday.
Snow is expected later this morning.
Everything's fine!

I'm finding conscious awareness to be highly overrated lately.
Yeah, they still had tables in the fifties.
Been wondering what Olympic Figure Skating has to do with The Traitors, Murder Trials, The Epstein Files, Holy Grail skincare products, Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, and Minnesotans singing to ICE?
Well then, have I got the essay for you.
