A timelapse of the enormous anti-ICE, anti-Trump protest in Chicago yesterday (Sun Jan 25, 2026). They’re trying to tell you it’s a Minneapolis story, that protests are small and confined. They’re lying. (🎥 Craig Shimala)

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today. This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

A billionaire known as “Bitcoin Jesus” was under indictment for massive criminal tax fraud and very likely going to prison. Then, he hired a “Friend of Trump” and the criminal charges disappeared. How did they do it? Avi Asher-Schapiro and I spent months getting the inside story.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control. Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances. I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone. I need to share with you what I saw.

it's bizarre to see both CNN and CNBC run with chyrons reporting that Trump said he won't "use force" to take Greenland, when the comments in question were clearly a threat to take Greenland by force. How naive are we at this point?

ICE’s reasoning for stopping anyone in Minnesota is illegal and unconstitutional. This explains why they took an innocent Hmong American out of his home wearing almost nothing in 12-degree weather, and dropped him off an hour later after admitting they had the wrong person.
