Sundas β€œSunny” Naqvi, a 28-year-old U.S. citizen from Evanston, Illinois, was detained by CBP at Chicago O’Hare on March 5, 2026.

www.PAXIS.app explains: U.S. citizens cannot be denied entry, and continued detention must have a lawful reason.

This is why you do not rush into wars of choice without vigorous planning, debate, and a vote in Congress. There is no reason the US had to go to war without first updating its intelligence.

In February, multiple outlets reported the Trump regime was illegally withholding FBI interviews with a woman who claimed Trump sexually and physically abused her when she was 13-14 years old.

And then, Trump authorized a war against Iran that murdered 175 school children.

We Stopped Feeding the World to Buy Lobster The administration gutted global aid in the name of fighting government waste. At the same time, the Pentagon spent millions on steak, crab, furniture, and even a $98,000 piano.

DOGE said it was cutting government waste.
So they gutted USAID β€” the agency that feeds starving people around the world.

Meanwhile the Pentagon spent millions on lobster, ribeye, and even a $98,000 piano.

Pentagon bars press photographers over β€˜unflattering’ Hegseth photos Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s staff took issue with photos taken in a rare briefing last week and decided to shut out press photographers from two subsequent news conferences.

Scoop: The Pentagon barred press photographers from briefings on the ongoing U.S.-Israeli military conflict with Iran after they published photos of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that his staff deemed "unflattering."

Strongly encourage all academics, novelists, reporters, bloggers, whatever to just email this account and state that you want to opt out of this idiocy.

Overload them with emails and make them regret they ever tried this shit.

Democrat Bobbi Boudman wins a special election in a Trump+9 district, after losing the same seat by 14 points in 2024. A 13-point Democratic overperformance.

How Trump and His Advisers Miscalculated Iran’s Response to War

NEW: Before the Iran War, Trump ignored warnings that Iran could retaliate across the region and stop oil shipments. Now, with energy markets in chaos, some aides are pessimistic about the lack of a strategy to end the war. But they haven't told Trump. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

Miscarriage Is Increasingly Dangerous for Women in Texas, Our Analysis Shows. Here’s How We Did It. Using seven years of hospital discharge data, we found that the number of blood transfusions during emergency room visits for first-trimester miscarriage shot up by 54% since Texas banned abortion.

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans.

MN fraud response: Gov. Walz announces major plan to centralize, modernize DHS Gov. Walz announced a massive plan Tuesday to overhaul Minnesota's Dept. of Human Services to combat Medicaid fraud. See his plan here.

Minnesota ranks as a top state to live because of the services we provide to make life easier for families.

But we need to strengthen program integrity and meet today’s challenges. I’m proposing a major overhaul to the way we deliver those services.

Trump is letting huge corporations that suck up to him evade antitrust enforcement.

State attorneys general should fight back by filing their own lawsuits to break up Live Nation/Ticketmaster and block Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros.

Enough of Trump's oligarchy.

The chaos across multiple airports is a totally unnecessary Republican-created problem. Dems have proposed funding for TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard, yet Republicans – who hold a majority in both the House and Senate – continue to hold these agencies hostage in order to get more funding for ICE.

Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

Warren: "It is still the case that the Trump admin cannot explain the reasons we entered this war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. The only part that seems clear is that while there is no money for 15m Americans who lost their healthcare, there's a billion a day to spent on bombing Iran."

"Even having one or two cabinet members as disastrous as Noem, Hegseth, Kennedy, or Bondi would be a stain on any administration; putting them all in one govt has created a kind of Bizarro World 1927 Yankees, an all-star team of incompetence and malevolence."

2 Teen Mariachi Musicians Released From ICE Detention

Two teenage brothers and mariachi stars who visited the White House last summer were just released with their family from ICE detention centers in South Texas β€” immediately following the visit of a delegation of Democratic lawmakers who pressed for them to be freed.

Listen to the ages: 14m. 17m. 22m. 6y. Pregnant women unconscious. Seizing.

These are 911 calls from ICE’s Dilley detention center. When babies keep leaving in ambulances, that isn’t care. It’s a crisis behind fences.

Preserve evidence. protect families. demand review.
