“The Columbia footage that we subpoenaed conclusively proves that Mahmoud never attempted to run from the ICE agents, that the government lied once again, & that there was no valid reason for the arrest of a US permanent resident and human rights defender” - Ramzi Kassem to @premthakker.bsky.social

New Video of Mahmoud Khalil’s Arrest Shows Trump Admin is Lying in Court
The new footage of ICE’s warrantless arrest shows the Palestinian student fully cooperated with federal agents and was not a flight risk, as the government continues to falsely claim.

This is an unelected oil executive now calling the shots for America’s public lands. No Senate vote. No accountability. Just a signature and the quiet handoff of power to Musk’s inner circle. This is what authoritarianism looks like, buried in bureaucracy.

According to Marilú, they had just left home when unfamiliar cars appeared. Moments later, three vehicles boxed them in. Armed men in green vests ordered them out. No names. No badges. This is not law enforcement. This is intimidation. (Sorry, we couldn’t upload the full video.)

Fake ICE agents are now targeting immigrants, creating dangerous and chaotic situations. Americans have Second Amendment rights, and people won’t just stand by while masked men grab young women off college campuses. If you’re making an arrest, show a warrant and ID. Period.

When elected officials see mass protests and then immediately adjust their behavior in response, that is a good thing. That's how this should work! Celebrate Blumenthal for this. And then ask your own Dem senator what they're doing. And what Schumer is doing.

The letters, sent by Musk staffers, come amid his push to cut up to 80 percent of the agency’s roughly 180-person staff. Let’s be clear: these grants were already awarded and are funded through bipartisan congressional appropriations. Terminating them is illegal.

Thank you, President Trump! Our long national nightmare of accurate weather forecasts is coming to an end! “There’s no question it will lead to errors. It’s just a matter of how bad will it be... We know these things help with forecasts, so why are we cutting them?” www.nbcnews.com/science/scie...

With fewer weather balloons due to government staffing cuts, forecasts may be less accurate
At least 10 sites have suspended or limited weather balloon launches, which used to occur twice daily, because of the Trump administration’s cuts to the National Weather Service.
