ICE just got caught in another lie.
ICE cut over 40% of its training program, slashed half of all firearms instruction, and eliminated ALL evaluation of agents’ grasp of skills specific to immigration enforcement and deportation operations.
This should end his career.
But it won’t—not in 2026.
Even so—call, complain, speak up, push back.
I wish that Anti-Muslim bigots didn’t belong here.
I talked about these DJT-centric semiquincentennial trademarks and national identity this evening.

They “apologized” because we noticed and called it out…
Both HCR and Joanne Freeman (history profs) talked SPECIFICALLY about this article this weekend. Here it is, as a gift article. If you share this post, it will be a gift article from you, too. by Peter Baker, NYT. They just don't care. It's all a game to them.

It was wrong and harmful - and quite possibly unlawful - to cut already approved NEH grants because Donald Trump hates "DEI."
But the way DOGE went about doing it was even dumber than you probably imagined.
They fed abstracts into ChatGPT and demanded an answer in fewer than 120 characters.
I would love it if we as an industry could be blunt and precise about what is happening. Trump is hiding the human cost of war and the media is helping. There's no good reason to soften it.
Tomorrow on my live podcast History Matters:
The No-Explanation War
Let’s talk.

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?
Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.
Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?
Noem: My condolences to their families
Raskin: You lied about them.
This is what weak and insecure people think confidence looks like: buffoonish bluster and swagger, like a 12-year-old bully. It doesn‘t inspire trust or security. It inspires grave concern for the lives of the people serving our nation whose fate is in the hands of these overcompensating oafs.
BLUMENTHAL: Wouldn't you agree no citizen working lawfully should be arrested?
NOEM: There are times when they may be arrested or detained until identity is confirmed
B: Would you agree citizens should not be arrested?
N: When there's probable cause ...
B: They said, 'Get him. He's Mexican'
She…is being confronted by both sides…..and not responding well.
Not even by yelling about the Dow.
@chrisgeidner.bsky.social alludes to the same thing I was thinking: Trump had to give up the law firm sanctions bc otherwise it was at risk of putting Exec supremacy over clearances at risk.
Insane - @marcorubio says we attacked Iran so they would hit our military bases now when we expected it rather than later, calling it a “wise decision” by Trump
Again: they think we are all idiots
(From @acyn.bsky.social )
WTF
“Round up the Muslims”???
This.
And this.
Hard agree on both.
"We are dealing now with an allegation that the president of the US raped and sexually assaulted a child and is now using his DOJ to try to cover that up."
If you want to understand latest Epstein revelations, @leahlitman.bsky.social explains them clearly on our pod:

ICE whistleblower Ryan Schwank, a former ICE instructor and attorney, testifies that agents were trained to disregard constitutional rights.
As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.
If Rosie will be lending support and companionship, be sure to relate her response as well. 🐦
TFW you read news like this and your first thought is: what nasty bit of revenge / power-grab comes next?
So scared of knowledge.
So scared of learning.
So sad.
Never forget.
Knowledge is power.
This….this.
Yes indeed.
I talked about this last night.

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.
I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Incredible. We got to "Is a pedophile island really all that bad?" five times faster than I thought.
Months after the killing of Charlie Kirk, a growing number of lawsuits by people claim they were illegally punished, fired and even arrested for making negative comments about Kirk.
Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.
Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.
Expect more.
This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.
sometimes they are so close to understanding
