ICE in Chicago this morning at Elston and Kennicott—a masked agent tells a witness (on the sidewalk) not to get in front of his car.
Feds are continuing kidnappings across the city & burbs after increased activity this month.
No flashy CBP caravans, just a steady stream of covert ICE arrests.

They think you're stupid.
Kash Patel refuses to say he has never been intoxicated or absent during his tenure as FBI director. I'm going to take that as he definitely has.

LEAKED MEMOS show how Chief Justice Roberts pressured other justices to lean heavily in favor of the oil and gas industry to kneecap a major EPA climate-change regulation—even as the court’s liberal justices warned it was an unprecedented, unjustified expansion of the court’s powers. trib.al/RQMIP47

just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down

Warsh hearing so far has been kind of frustrating. No one has asked the questions that seem most relevant to me:
1) is Trump's criminal investigation into Powell appropriate?
2) what would you do if Trump threatened retribution against you if he didn't like your actions/Fed policy decisions?
Amazing take, thank you.
My latest, for @techpolicypress.bsky.social
When I read Alex Karp’s book last year, I thought it should’ve been a tweet. Now Palantir has turned it into a tweet-length manifesto, which could’ve just been a picture of a MAGA hat.
Karp is… not a subtle thinker.

I feel like I can often tell where the right wing culture winds are blowing better than most but “Coastal libs only accept male sexuality within wedlock’ is a take that I could never have predicted not in a million years
The Costa Rican Catholic Church has expressed concern over an agreement between the Central American country's government and the United States to receive up to 25 third-country migrants deported by the United States.

These are great points, very helpful.
This is a good point about tone.
“He is the 17th person to die in ICE custody since January 1, 2026, and the 47th person to die in federal immigration custody during the current Trump administration … Unless something changes dramatically, ICE is on predictable track to report 60 detention deaths by the end of the year.”
I am forever saying that if refusal isn't a live option in any decision making process about "AI", then no ethical practice is possible. You've got to be able to stop if the thing is unacceptable.
I know this goes without saying, but if the Democrats rigged the 2020 election, they would have also rigged the 2024 election when they held the White House.
Trump won. So they didn’t rig either.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Head of federal law enforcement stages authoritarian crackdown on political enemies in attempt to appease Trump because he's afraid the journalistic exposé of his uncontrolled alcoholism is putting his job in jeopardy
We got the New Deal b/c the American people went thru 2+ yrs of pain under Hoover w/o Hoover doing anything about it. The Dems have the opportunity for another New Deal here but I fear they will blow it & think way too small.
Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
"When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment." This is really good and very much worth reading.
It is truly remarkably perfect that the company names itself after a powerful magical seeing device that both addicts and perverts those who use it, giving them false and dangerous understandings of the world
And then the company itself goes out to prove the myth correct
Trump continues to crater. New NBC poll has his approval down to 37-63, which is 26 points underwater.
Crucially, 50% disapprove *strongly.* Has any other president had half the country strongly disapproving?

Mapped the IDF's newly declared "Forward Defense Zone" in south Lebanon. Its maritime boundary fully absorbs Lebanon's Qana gas field, whose exploration rights were explicitly guaranteed under the 2022 US-brokered maritime border agreement.
