MEMORANDUM OPINION February 16, 2026 “All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary. In no case would it have been possible, once the deed was done, to prove that any falsification had taken place.” George Orwell, 1984' As if the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell's 1984 now existed, with its motto "Ignorance is Strength," this Court is now asked to determine whether the federal government has the power it claims—to dissemble and disassemble historical truths when it has some domain over historical facts. It does not. The President's House is a component of Independence National Historical Park that commemorates the site of the first official presidential residence and the people who lived there, including people enslaved by President George Washington. On January 22, 2026, the National Park Service ("NPS") removed panels, displays, and video exhibits that referenced slavery and information about the individuals enslaved at the President's House. Plaintiff City of Philadelphia ("the City" filed this lawsuit under the Administrative Procedures Act ("APA") against the Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum…

CONCLUsION For the reasons stated above, the Motion for Preliminary Injunction will be granted. The preliminary injunction will remain in place pending further litigation in this matter. There can b no prejudice to Defendants' restoration of the status quo as of January 21, 2026, which requires that Defendants reinstall all panels, displays, and video exhibits that were previously in place. Defendants shall further prevent any additions, removals, destruction, or further changes of any kind to the President's House site, except in the event that a mutual written agreement is reachec between Defendants and the City of Philadelphia. An order will be entered.

Federal court orders Trump administration to restore historical panel exhibits at President’s House in Philadelphia.

Happy Presidents Day.

MAGA wanted you to boycott this.

Grim stuff.

One examaple: the language goes from "Ground water must be protected from radiological contamination" to "Consideration must be given to avoiding or minimizing potential radiological contamination of groundwater"

This NYT video shows DHS using explosives to blow the door off a home of a U.S. citizen wanted for "injuring government property" in Huntington Park CA on 6/27 as Bovino watches nearby. The case, involving a collision with a CBP vehicle, was flimsy and later dropped.

I for one would love to hear from the paid protestor dialect coach. Must be quite the operation getting all of the bussed in people talking like Fargo extras!

ICE, founded March 1, 2003

A running list of things that are older than ICE:

Climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese government. We must annex Greenland because climate change is making us vulnerable to an attack from the Chinese.

Minneapolis schools cancel classes after Border Patrol clash disrupts dismissal at Roosevelt Minneapolis schools closed for the week citing safety concerns after an encounter involving armed Border Patrol agents near Roosevelt High School.

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Hope everyone had a merry Christmas

Rick Steves is an American treasure. Just all-around, one of the absolute best of us.

"things happen" = burning risotto, breaking a vase, forgetting a friend's birthday

"things happen" ≠ violently murdering and dismembering a journalist in a consulate

Chicago woman dragged out of her car after colliding with ICE demands accountability The arrest of Dayanne Figueroa highlights growing concerns about the use of force against U.S. citizens and due process. She was released after a few hours without charges.

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

Border Patrol Chief Bovino exited the federal courthouse in Chicago today, facing questions over his use of tear gas in communities despite a federal ban without justification. Before leaving, he stood in the truck doorway, fist-pumped, and then placed a CS grenade on the dashboard.

A photo of federal agents using tear gas on protesters in Chicago on Oct. 14, 2025, overlaid with the headline, "Teachers Scrambled After ICE Released Tear Gas Outside a Chicago Elementary School," and the DEK, "Chicago teachers said they’re dealing with traumatized students in underfunded schools — while the Trump administration spends millions to militarize American cities."

“We didn’t expect them to throw tear gas right outside of our school building.” interc.pt/43q25vF

Rtorney Pamela ' @AGPamBondi Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @lCEgov in Chicago. The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Departrnent of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcernent.

If you were an admin or member of one of the Facebook groups that the DOJ jawboned Facebook into censoring, we want to talk to you!

Please shoot me a message,

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Fuck Trump" is protected speech and the ICE agents who tried to detain him for shouting it are the ones engaged in domestic terrorism here.

When ABC caved to Brendan Carr, they were trying to avoid doing what Carr said was "the hard way."

What they're about to find out is that this is the real hard way. Because the extortionist always comes back for more.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

President Trump's deportations are diverting FBI agents off child predator cases Officials warn that President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown is leaving domestic terrorists, including online extremists who prey on children, unpoliced.

“Nearly every agent on Baltimore’s domestic terrorism squad was reassigned this year to work full time on immigration enforcement, forcing them to walk away from investigations of a network of violent predators that targets and exploits children online.”

The Charlie Kirk shooting happened essentially as another school shooting happened a state away

Leaving aside his contempt for taking domestic violence seriously, please remember that DHS has repeatedly argued that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a dangerous menace to the nation because of allegations of domestic violence.

Is it not a crime? Or is it a crime so serious it merit deportation?

BREAKING: Free speech doesn’t stop when the sun sets—but Texas thinks it does. A new Texas law forces public universities to ban virtually all expressive activities after 10 PM, a violation of the First Amendment.

That’s why FIRE is suing to stop this chilling law in its tracks.

VICTORY! In a win for student expression on campus, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals today overruled a lower court's decision, sided with FIRE’s clients, and blocked West Texas A&M University’s unconstitutional ban on drag shows.

Federal court refuses to block Alabama’s “divisive concepts” law, says university faculty classroom speech is government speech with no First Amendment protection. This dangerous development allows lawmakers to dictate what professors say in class. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
