The State of the Union.

Al Green didn’t last long.

Penn Medicine had a $189 million operating profit in the first half of fiscal 2026

The University of Pennsylvania Health System's operating gain climbed compared to the same period the year before, even after Penn put $43 million put into reserves for medical malpractice claims.

Broken clock's right twice a day!

DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin to leave Trump administration The move comes as public opinion has turned on the administration’s hardline immigration policies.

With calls growing for Kristi Noem to be fired or impeached as public trust in ICE plummets, it looks like the rats are abandoning the ship as DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin is leaving.

Countdown now starts on Tricia joining Fox News as a paid contributor.

The failed attempt to silent Stephen Colbert.

Screenshot of a post from James Talarico claiming Trump didn’t want an interview aired, alongside a still image of Talarico sitting across from Stephen Colbert on a late-night talk show set.

Make sure everyone sees this then. The FCC apparently changed its “equal time” rule on talk shows to make it hard for Colbert or The View to air interviews with candidates like Talarico. Video link in comments.

Sign Petition: End the Terror and Violence. Abolish ICE. This is not law enforcement. It is terror. (36473 signatures on petition)

That’s why I’m urging you, with all the gravity this moment demands, to add your name to a petition telling Congress: abolish ICE.

When enough of us raise our voices together, we remind our leaders — and ourselves — that compassion is our strength, not cruelty.

DHS  claims to be 'winding down' in the Twin Cities. Local leaders are still pissed. The top border official cited "unprecedented levels of coordination” with local leaders.

After more than two months of an aggressive—and deadly—occupation of the Twin Cities, top immigration official Tom Homan said during a press conference that the Trump administration is scaling back “Operation Metro Surge.”

Local officials aren’t buying it.

Republicans are so scared they are trying to go back to poll taxes.

Have astronomers witnessed the birth of a black hole? A massive star in the nearby Andromeda galaxy has simply disappeared. Some astronomers believe that it's collapsed in on itself and formed a black hole.

Opinion | How Trump's immigration strategy tanked his polling numbers Michael A. Cohen: Americans supported going after “the worst of the worst.” But less than 14% of the more than 400,000 immigrants arrested by ICE have been charged with or convicted of a violent crime...

OPINION by MS NOW columnist Michael A. Cohen:

In 2024, immigration was Donald Trump’s signature campaign issue. In 2026, it has become, perhaps, his greatest political albatross.

WHAT HAPPENED TO NEVER AGAIN

She really just said why are you talking about the mass coverup of child rape when you should be talking about money

DHS shot her and called her a “terrorist.” New videos show something different. "It’s time to get aggressive," a Border Patrol agent said shortly before Marimar Martinez was shot five times.

Newly released body camera footage further undermines the Trump administration’s efforts to falsely portray Marimar Martinez—who was shot multiple times by Border Patrol agent Charles Exum in October—as a “domestic terrorist."

ACLU's lawsuit over ICE raid at an Idaho racetrack could be a game changer The filing aims to hold rogue federal agents accountable by linking them to a conspiracy.

It is difficult to hold federal officers accountable for misconduct.

This Idaho lawsuit, filed on behalf of three Latino families who went to La Catedral with their kids that day, aims to get around that issue.
