BREAKING: After ProPublica published letters written by children at the Dilley concentration camp, ICE officers raided the dormitories and confiscated the children's letters. I'm suing ICE to get them back. I'll explain it all in 45 minutes on @meidastouch.com here: www.youtube.com/live/H-D8SzR...

I’m really glad to see Senators Warren and Shaheen sent this letter to Sec. Hegseth about the WEXMAC TITUS program which is helping fast-track the construction of immigrant concentration camps (and also floored and humbled that they link to my story about the program in the first sentence)

Good afternoon. Speaker Johnson was sent a bill to fund TSA, the Coast Guard and FEMA that passed the Senate 100-0. If he had simply called it for a vote it would passed easily. But he chose chaos. Because that’s what Trump wants. Only Johnson can clean up this mess.

SAVE Act Citizenship Software Broken A federal tool to check voter citizenship has a huge error rate. Some Counties report over 50% error rate - falsely denying Citizens rights to Vote. Citizens blocked from voting required to dig up Citizenship documents. www.texastribune.org/2026/02/13/s...

SAVE tool keeps mistakenly flagging voters as noncitizens - The Texas Tribune
DHS rolled out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

Donald Trump is pressuring Republicans to restrict mail-in voting for everybody else — while he’s sitting at home voting by mail himself? He's literally urging Republicans to withhold TSA agent’s paychecks until they pass his voter suppression bill — the so-called “SAVE America Act”.

When DOGE arrived at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the operatives had no real background in nuclear issues. They boxed out experienced hands, forcing resignations and massive exodus of talent. Over 400 people have since left or been forced out. Our full story: propub.li/4sxHHmW
Graphic displaying how hundreds of staff who do work related to nuclear reactors and their safety have left and not been replaced. The data is categorized into six sections: Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, Nuclear Regulatory Research, Nuclear Security and Incident Response, Regional offices, and Other offices. Each orange square underneath a category represents a loss in staff, while each gray square represents an addition of staff. The graphic shows that there have been 443 losses and 57 arrivals across all six of these categories. Note: The data is from the week ending Jan. 24, 2025, through Feb. 13, 2026.

Trump Has Detained the Parents of More Than 11,000 U.S. Citizen Kids
A ProPublica analysis of new ICE data shows that Trump has detained parents of U.S. citizen children at about twice the rate that Biden did, and moms have been deported four times as often.

And he started to blame the lack of delivery of the new upgrades in the presser. This is another result of this admin thinking there are too many people working for the government. They cut all support staff esp in areas already short of personnel like ATC. Road Rules has no idea of how to manage.
