I'm not a commodities guy but I don't know how many more events like this the markets will be willing to overlook because Trump occasionally shouts, "nearly done!" at a reporter from his golf cart.

Not just this, his kid who replaced him has the exact opposite view

The old man didnโ€™t want nukes, Jr absolutely does (and now has a damn good argument for building them). Absolute idiocy

BBC looks at how Cubans are living with fuel shortages The BBC's Will Grant spoke to several Cubans as the country grapples with severe electricity shortages, which is attributed in part to US sanctions.

A grim BBC report from Havana filed 4 days ago. The Trump Administration is deliberately causing the worst humanitarian crisis of my lifetime in the western hemisphere and the US prestige press can't be bothered to cover it. Please shame them into reporting on this crisis before people start dying.

Cuba's health care system pushed to the brink by US fuel blockade, Cuban minister says Cuban officials say a U.S. fuel blockade is pushing Cubaโ€™s health system toward collapse and putting lives at risk.

โ€œThereโ€™s been a drastic change since January,โ€ said Aniliet Rodrรญguez, a 25-year-old pregnant woman who was admitted that month to a maternal care center for an extreme case of anemia. โ€œThereโ€™s no bread, no milk for nutrition โ€ฆ . There are no medicines.โ€

Immigrant says ICE invoked MAGA YouTuber Nick Shirley during arrest Mamdou Ndoye, who was ordered released by a judge in February, says he was rearrested by ICE later that month by agents who asked him why he was โ€œaggressive to Nick Shirley.โ€

New: ICE name-dropped MAGA YouTuber Nick Shirley when arresting an immigrant in NYC, per court docs.

โ€œThe only thing they asked me about is why I was being aggressive to Nick Shirleyโ€ฆโ€

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

This image features a section of an informational document or webpage titled Whatโ€™s in It for Your Law Enforcement Agency? The text describes the advantages of the 287(g) Program for state and local law enforcement.

The main body of the text explains that the program provides access to ICE resources and training, with ICE covering the training costs. It notes that the primary goal is helping agencies keep communities safe from "potentially dangerous criminal aliens."

A single bullet point below the main paragraph highlights the Department of Justiceโ€™s State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP). It explains that SCAAP provides federal funding to states and municipalities to help cover costs associated with the incarceration of certain individuals. The final sentence, in bold, emphasizes that this is entirely separate from the 287(g) program.

Haven't checked the 287(g) page in a while, but @bremg.bsky.social found that this language was quietly added โ€” a quick check of Internet Archive shows that this popped up on/about Sunday, Feb. 15.

Our assessment: ICE is looking to find workarounds to 287(g) bans.

Are they about the drop paratroopers onto the north side of the Hormuz to secure it with ground troops? That's the only thing that makes sense outside of special operations

Maybe they relied on AI to pick targets. But they bombed the school twice, hitting it again 40 minutes after the initial strike, in order to kill survivors and first responders. The mere *existence* of AI means no one has to be held responsible for this crime against humanity
