Wow. I just heard back from ICE on this. Here's their statement. No comment at all on the claim that the three witnesses in the van with the deceased man are being pressured to self-deport, and ICE refers further questions to the FBI:

NEWS --> Three men who were in the van with the victim of the ICE shooting in Texas are potential witnesses, but they're now under pressure to self-deport, a rep for the families tells me. They remain in detention even as ICE's story falters. Details in this piece: newrepublic.com/article/2129...

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

Moms For Liberty named RJ May the South Carolina Legislator of the Year for 2023 for his efforts to protect children from the evils of the LGBTQ community. He was just sentenced to 17.5 years in federal prison followed by 30 years of supervised probation for distributing child pornography.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

Imagine watching Sinatra, son of Dolly & Antonini born in Genoa & Sicily, respectively, and Martin, son of Gaetano & Angela, born in Montesilvano, Italy & Ohio respectively, (Angela to parents born in Monasterolo, Italy), and crusading against the value of children of immigrants to the U.S.

This is the same administration that has ordered the return of a Confederate monument to Arlington National Cemetery--one which celebrates the "loyal slave" narrative as represented by the images of the "faithful mammy" and a body servant (slave) in Confederate uniform. 🗃️ www.cnn.com/2025/11/13/p...

Saw this in SF last November. Excellent exhibit. I would go it again in Baltimore if I lived closer.

No matter how many times we say Fox News isn’t real news, it doesn’t matter—because their viewers believe it is. Watch: It shows exactly how they’re screwing all of us—you & me—because we’re stuck dealing with people who fall for disinformation. And their own viewers, because they believe the lies.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy—but they already often operate on razor-thin margins & now they're taking a serious hit from Trump’s boneheaded trade war. Republicans need to join Democrats to STOP these tariffs—that’s what I’m fighting for this #SmallBusinessWeek.

This is the right approach — speak to them as you would an especially stupid child, spell out their crimes and your contempt clearly.

The 16-year-old worker lost both legs in a preventable accident in 2023. Meanwhile, the company responsible, Rotschy, Inc, went on a company buying spree to keep up with all the state contracts it's been awarded. Why so long to recommend criminal charges against this REPEAT offender Wa L&I?

Cascade PBS@cascadepbs.org

The state Department of Labor & Industries is seeking criminal charges against a southwest Washington construction company — the first time the agency has pursued felony charges over a youth labor violation — after a 16-year-old employee lost both legs on the job in 2023.

Clearly we need to send Buford to accompany Senator Van Hollen.

A 2-year-old boy who spent the night alone in the remote Arizona wilderness and walked 7 miles through mountain lion territory was led to safety by a rancher's dog, authorities say.

Ice put a third grader in handcuffs. May Tom Homan never know a moment of peace again in his hometown of Sackets Harbor.

New — I spoke to the school principal of Sackets Harbor, NY, where ICE handcuffed and disappeared a mother and 3 kids (including a 3rd grader). It’s also the town Trump Border Czar Tom Homan calls home. Cook tells me about how the small town is taking on enormous power to bring the students home:

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.
