They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone.

The new National Security Strategy is a propaganda document, designed to be widely read. It is also a performative suicide. Hard to think of another great power ever abdicating its influence so quickly and so publicly. It will be worth following the reactions around the world, not just in Europe.

Before a single strike, several lawyers raised red flags:
• No self-defense justification
• No organized armed group attacking Americans
• No legal basis for killing civilians
These concerns were documented and ignored — they appear to have been executions.

Regular Americans pay much higher tariff taxes while billionaires pay lower. 😡🤬😡
Trump's own lawyer just admitted to the Supreme Court that American consumers pay 30%-80% of these insane Trump tariffs.
Over the next 10 years, Trump says they will collect over $4T in tariffs.
So that means American families are going to be paying $1.2T-$3.3 trillion dollars in TARIFF TAXES.
