Why does someone who overstayed their visa need to be held in shackles? Does any child belong in a prison camp? Does anybody deserve to be underfed, or brutalized, or denied medical care? presswatchers.org/2026/02/the-...
The inhumane treatment of immigration detainees requires more coverage | Press Watch
The glimpses we’ve gotten justify a lot more reporting

JUST IN: Judge Provinzino in Minnesota has held a Justice Department attorney in civil contempt for violations of her order requiring the return of a released ICE detainee’s ID documents. He must pay $500 a day until the documents are returned.

Maybe WWIII will distract everyone from the Epstein files.
We completely obliterated Iran’s nuclear program. It’s gone. Fake news will never admit this.
So anyway, we have to send hundreds of billions of dollars worth of equipment to the Middle East and have a major war to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons.

There is nothing the left fears more than the Hispanic community joining forces with the Black and LGBTQ+ communities to form a VBNMW Voltron that means they can no longer hold the party hostage over their latest omnicause.
Love the implication that anyone who is not for "open borders" and "prison abolition" (two concepts that are utterly meaningless in the first place) is a fascist. Amazing website

What was Trump’s price tag?
So after Trump pardoned Honduras's narco-president, the admin didn't just let him out--they canceled an immigration hold and sent a specialized team to **chauffeur him to the $1k/night Waldorf Astoria.**

WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: Trump’s tariffs are a tax on you.
He’s using them as leverage to enrich himself and his family and his friends — and destroy our standing in the world, devastating farmers.

This cannot be business as usual.
