Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:
—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.
Read it.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Unbelievable cruelty. Return this man to his family.
NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's wife gave birth to their child without him after ICE denied their request to let him be present.
“This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer,” Dr. Abdalla said. “My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud."

At this point, reporters and others need to stop asking the Trump administration to return Garcia and begin asking them to simply prove he is alive.
There is a distinct possibility that this president killed a man via clerical error.

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

At this point, if you’re a Republican voter who truly hates government intrusion in your life, you have to regard the actions of this administration as unadulterated horror.
Otherwise, you are delusional. Absolutely delusional.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but weren’t all the QAnon weirdos (whose interests Boebert works to serve) up in arms about the “District” being some malevolent deep state entity? Why aren’t they destroying it instead of treasuring it?

Yeah, those guys seem super full of honesty and integrity…
WSJ Edit Board: "Neither [Thomas nor Alito] is likely to resign if he lacks confidence in Mr. Trump’s judgment about who might be his successor. They have too much respect for the law, and the Court, to resign if they think Mr. Trump will nominate a results-first, law-second legal hack."
