The attorney general is threatening a state that the federal government will continuing murdering its citizens in the streets unless they provide access to state voter rolls, a lawless demand which is the subject of ongoing litigation.
Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."

We hope you’re staying warm ahead of the storm’s arrival tonight.
What’s changed about our storm forecast since Friday? Not much. The forecast has largely locked in, with no change to our map of snow/sleet amounts at this time.
Still uncertainty as to when Sunday morning the snow changes to sleet.

We've very likely have an Orb fence surrounding the earth since prior to Sputnik if Dr. Beatriz Verroel's work holds true.

I'll say yet again: Trump & his party do something virtually every day that constitutes a more violent & alarming suppression of speech than anything that happened during the entire alleged tyranny of woke. Every day. Yet the entire Free Spech army has just vanished into mist.
I wrote on the shameful situation re: the recession of a deanship to Emily Suski at the University of Arkansas Law. What was the reason? Prof. Suski signed an amicus brief supporting trans rights. The Arkansas legislators admitted that was it! Horrible outcome. ballsandstrikes.org/legal-cultur...

The revocation of Emily Suski’s job offer at the University of Arkansas sends a chilling message to law professors everywhere.

Good question.
1) Covering substantive issues is harder than repeating press releases and reading the crime blotter
2) Challenging power and calling out BS makes powerful people angry
3) There is an audience for the old 'litany of tragedy' local news model of gawking at others' misfortune

Again, I ask: Why can't local news elsewhere be this factual and informative instead of fluff stories and "live" shots from the scene where some horrific crime happened more than a day ago?

![Action Memo for Senior Bureau Official John Armstrong
FROM:
SUBJECT:
CA/VO - Stuart Wilson, Deputy Assistant Secretary
(SBU) Revocation of Fl Visa for Rumeysa OZTURK
(SBU) Recommendation 1: That you approve the revocation of the Fl visa,
effective immediately, for
under section 221(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA). Due to ongoing ICE operational security, this revocation will be silent;
the Department will not notify the subject. (Approve/Disapprove by
03/21/25)
Decision: [Approved]
(SBU) Recommendation 2: That you authorize the transmission of the
attached notification to the Department of Homeland Security noting the,
immediate revocation of OZTURK's visa. (Approve/Disapprove by 03/21/25)
Decision: [Approved]
Background
(SBU} On March 21, 2025, the Assistant Director of the National Security Division of DHS/ICE's Homeland Security Investigations referred to CA information regarding Rumeysa OZTURK, a Turkish national, for a possible determination by the Secretary that the alien is deportable under INA section 237(a)(4)(C). As a nonimmigrant visa holder, such a determination is not necessary for OHS/ICE to pursue removal of OZTURK from the United States, as INA section 237(a}(1)(B) provides that an alien is deportable if their nonimmigrant visa has been revoked under INA section 221(i).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7r477jd7q7p2mzmyqfm7jmp7/bafkreigphzxypvufgeipmnblj3rj5bjvnpsifwim4gx2nxdcv3cqhgqj5q@jpeg)
