Judge orders video and texts unsealed in case of Chicago woman shot 5 times by Border Patrol
DHS won't stop calling Marimar Martinez a "domestic terrorist," so she's getting the video of her shooting and text messages from the officer who shot her unsealed.

SCOOP: Trump's FBI summoned state
election officials from across the country for an
unusual briefing on "preparations for the
midterms. according to emails I obtained

t's the "strangest thing in the world,'' one top
state election official told me.


Letter From FBI:

Dear Chief Election Officials,

To prepare for the 2026 US midterm elections, your election partners at the FBI, DOJ, DHS, USPIS, and
the EAC would like to invite you to a call where we can discuss our preparations for the cycle, as well as
updates and resources we can provide to you and your staff. The call will be on Wednesday, February 25
(2-3pm EST) and will be for Chief Election Officials. You may designate a proxy to attend in your place if
you are not available. On Wednesday, March 4, we will hold a similar call for members of the EAC's Local
Leadership Council.

We look forward to speaking with you in support of the 2026 midterm elections.

Thank you,

Kellie M. Hardiman
FBI Election Executive

The Trump administration finalized a new policy on Thursday that would strip job protections from up to 50,000 federal workers, a move that would make it easier for President Trump to remove or discipline them, in his latest effort to dismantle the federal work force.

ICE refers to PEOPLE as "bodies." ("We have bodies in three; where should I put THIS body?") ("Bring the body over here!") This, of course, is dehumanizing. They don't even see ppl as fellow human beings. We've been here, before. History is repeating itself. Right in front of our eyes. My GOD.

If you have a billion dollars or more, you are evil. You don't start out as evil, so it's not like only evil people ever get a billion dollars; it's just that being a billionaire forced you to make a choice, be evil or change how you do things and stop being a billionaire. Billionaires choose evil.
