CPD moved through the feds to form another barrier between protestors and feds. Enrages the crowd. Water bottle thrown. A second later, feds deploy gas, even on un-equipped CPD. People scatter, including CPD.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable.

This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Then they pretend and insist they’re Christians.

Where is every Dem in Congress right now?! A US citizen is being illegally jailed, no charges against him. A judge is using a law for "illegal immigrants" to keep him behind bars. He's an American citizen. ICE is going to use this man as their test case to disappear Americans. Mark my words.

3 dead so far at Krome ICE detention center in Florida. Max capacity was 500, they have over 4,000 and not enough water and food. Reports say they get 1 cup of water per day.

These are already death camps.

This idea -- that a really *old* code-base can be far more reliable and rock-solid than something written in a newer language?

It violates a lot of Silicon Valley mythos, of course ...

Wow. Judge Howell is worried that if she orders DOGE to leave the USIP building it could turn into an “armed standoff” over unwillingness to vacate, and points out law enforcement has shown willingness to help DOGE. Asks if we’ll need foreign mediators to come in.

The Trump-Musk Regime is reportedly planning to cut as much as 50% of the IRS workforce.

Make no mistake: this will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163 billion a year.
