Yesterday played out exactly as many expected a cover-up. When 119 pages of grand jury documents are released entirely redacted, that goes far beyond protecting victims’ identities. A court ordered these records released, yet what the public received was effectively nothing.

Yesterday we were all waiting in the Epstein line. Today, the entire country has turned into investigators, tracking which files are disappearing. Sixteen gone so far. There’s been a remarkable amount of teamwork, with people working together to identify the missing documents.

WTF! The Trump administration plans to review (with the intent to remove or eliminate) some of the nation’s wildlife refuges and fish hatcheries. Agency director Brian Nesvik ordered officials to identify refuges/hatcheries whose purpose the administration claims “no longer aligns with the mission.”

The truth about Trump's economy:
-Inflation is still high, and beef and coffee prices are surging thanks to his tariffs
-Wage growth has slowed since he took office
-Unemployment is at a 4-year high
He's running the economy like he ran his businesses — straight into the ground.

BREAKING: Mississippi will hold special elections for state supreme court in 2026 because of our lawsuit to ensure that districts are drawn fairly to represent Black voters.
In a state where nearly 40% of its residents are Black, it is absolutely crucial that their voices are heard.

The Justice Department says it will not meet Friday’s congressionally mandated deadline to release all files related to Jeffrey Epstein, according to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. Go figure, there’s too much they’d rather keep hidden.

Trump's deal to sell TikTok won't just enrich his billionaire pal Larry Ellison.
It also gives UAE investment firm MGX — a key business partner of the Trump family's crypto company — a major ownership stake in TikTok.

Trump's escalation in Latin America will likely serve as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home.
We must resist his efforts to launch more international wars and stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.

If someone insists this was unintentional, they’re left with two troubling alternatives: either ICE is so reckless that it randomly stops and harasses U.S. citizens and demands proof of citizenship, or agents are engaging in illegal racial profiling. Neither explanation is acceptable.

With access to this volume of data, the claim that this stop was random strains credibility. The far more likely explanation is that data was used to identify the vehicle and deliberately target the person driving it.

ICE can query this data directly. In addition, ICE receives information from state and local law enforcement agencies and through DHS-funded fusion centers, where federal and local intelligence is combined and shared.

ICE (and DHS more broadly) has contracts and data-sharing agreements with companies that collect and aggregate license-plate scans, including Flock Safety, OpenALPR/Rekor, Vigilant (Motorola LEARN), and other commercial data brokers.

Start with the obvious: her son was driving a vehicle. That vehicle has license plates. ICE does run and access license-plate data, primarily through automated license plate reader (ALPR) systems. These systems allow agents to see exactly who a vehicle is associated with.
