Yesterday federal immigration agents were spotted in a yard in Joliet, IL. Rapid responders reported one person detained. One agent briefly raised what appears to be a handgun toward a person filming them from inside a home. Per video posted to social media, a child was present inside at the time.

Trump's DOJ just ended its prosecution of the bank that helped Iran dodge U.S. sanctions, as what looks like a favor to his dictator buddy Erdogan. Trump sacrificed U.S. servicemembers' lives and spiked gas prices to attack Iran, but he lets Iran's bankers off scot-free. It's all a grift.

Trump has denied that he is considering an emergency declaration to seize control of elections — but proponents say the draft order has gained traction within the White House. "Last word I had was that the order had made it to the White House and that it had the president's attention," Canova said.
Proponents of the proposed order certainly seem confident that the idea has gained traction within the administration.
"Last word I had was that the order had made it to the White House and that it had the president's attention and his White House lawyers, but that was a lot of months ago," Canova told us. Savin made a similar claim in a December 2025 interview with John Michael Chambers. "The president's had it on his desk, attorneys are looking at it," he said. "We've been told that what he's going to sign in that executive order is like 80 to 90 percent of what we have
Whether that confidence is warranted remains unclear. But the network of activists, lawyers, and conspiracy theorists who helped shape the draft order have spent years trying to persuade Trump to use the powers of the presidency to change the elections process in America-and they appear convinced that their moment may finally be approaching.

A day later and no major national news org has covered what they're doing in Kansas. This is the flip side of the hyper focus on trans issues by the right. The national media ignores what's actually being done to trans people. This erasure is what contributes to the persecution.
A screenshot of a mobile Google search results page in dark mode for the query "Kansas trans". Under the heading "News about Kansas," there is a list of four news articles:
​An article from the Kansas City Star, published 13 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas informs trans residents their driver’s licenses become invalid on Thursday". The thumbnail shows a sample Kansas driver's license.
​An article from The Independent, published 7 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas sends letters to trans drivers demanding the immediate surrender of their licenses over birthright law". The thumbnail shows small pride flags on desks inside a legislative chamber.
​An article from The Topeka Capital-Journal, published 7 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas invalidates IDs and birth certificates of transgender people". The thumbnail features a close-up of colorful pride flag stickers.
​An article from Erin In The Morning, published 16 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses". The thumbnail is a nighttime photo of a state capitol building illuminated in pink and red lights.

Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005.
CBP's misconduct scandal is so long-running that today it would be old enough to drink.
In total, according to CBP's own discipline reports, over the 20 years from 2005 to 2024 - the last year numbers are available
- at least 4,913 CBP officers and Border Patrol agents have been arrested themselves, some multiple times. (In 2018 alone, a single CBP employee was arrested five times.) To put that number in perspective:
• The population of CBP agents and officers who have been arrested would make it roughly the nation's fourth largest police department - equal to the size of the entire Philadelphia police.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.)  If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.
