Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

Elon Musk responds to concerns that he’s turned off Starlink for Ukraine, insisting that any decision on that is made by Trump (the guy he helped get elected)

Mykhailo Fedorov: Starlink connectivity at speeds of up to 160 km/h is being restored.
Removing Starshield's speed limit entirely is now critical for Ukraine's defense.
Thank you, @elonmusk. We hope for your continued support.

Musk: Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government. Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS.
Starlink is a commercial service owned and controlled by SpaceX. Usage of Starlink is limited to civilian or defensive activities and cannot be used for offensive military action, as doing so would be inappropriate for a commercial company.

One can only assume Pete removed the laurel and the olive branch to intentionally look more fascist.

Congress established the War Department at the cabinet level, Aug. 7, 1789. In 1947, the Navy and War departments and the newly independent Air Force merged to become the National Military Establishment. Two years later, in 1949, the name was changed to Department of Defense and then-Defense Secretary Louis Johnson authorized the first design and use of a seal for the department. The seal was updated in September 2025 to reflect the use of a secondary title, Department of War, as directed in Executive Order 14347.

The design of the original seal and its symbolism is described in Appendix VI Joint Army and Air Force Bulletin No. 23:

"An American eagle is displayed facing to the right. Wings are horizontal. The eagle grasps three crossed arrows and bears on its breast a shield whose lower two-thirds carries alternating white and red stripes and whose upper third is blue. Above the eagle is an arc of thirteen stars with alternating rays. Below the eagle is a wreath of laurel extending to the eagle's right and wreath of olive extending to the eagle's left. On an encircling band is the inscription 'Department of Defense' and 'United States of America.'

The American bald eagle, long associated with symbolism representing the United States of America and its military establishment, has been selected as an emblem of strength. In facing to the right, the field of honor is indicated. The eagle is defending the United States, represented by the Shield of thirteen pieces. The thirteen pieces are joined together by the blue chief, representing the Congress. The rays and stars above the eagle signify glory, while the three arrows are collectively symbolic of the three component parts of the Department of War. The laurel stands for honors received in combat defending the peace represented by the olive branch.

When the seal is displayed in color, the background is to be of medium blue with the eagle and wreath in natural colors and the arrows, stars, and rays of gold.

What a lie. Some of these people are being imprisoned indefinitely in squalid condition in African prisons. Others report being beaten and arbitrarily deported in violation of international law back to their home countries, where they face persecution or torture.

The indefinite nature of their confinement has taken a severe toll. In October 2025, a Cuban man who was on the July flight went on a hunger strike for a month-until he started showing signs of organ failure —to protest the conditions of his detention, including his ongoing confinement and lack of access to legal counsel.
Terrified of being imprisoned in Eswatini forever, another man repeatedly told his attorney that the prison there never lets people go. One man told his attorney that he feels like a caged animal with no end in sight. The prison does not have air conditioning, making the hot, humid summer months especially uncomfortable for the men.
Food is insufficient, medication is scarce, and requests often go unmet or are belatedly met.
