The markings that supposedly expressed “transgender ideology” were………..a series of arrows.
CNN. The initial report, also called a bulletin, typically include all information gathered in an investigation so that agents anywhere will know what is being collected - but the information is not always correct.
The ATF bulletin said that agents found engravings that they interpreted as
"expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology" on ammunition inside a weapon believed to have been used in the murder of Kirk.
Two law enforcement sources told CNN that agents quickly ran an initial search on one of the markings, including a series of arrows, which analysts initially interpreted to be a connection to the transgender community.
That information remains unverified and is still being investigated.

As I watch the press conference on the Kirk assassination on ABC, all I can think is, Kash Patel looks like he hasn't slept and like he's freaking out about something quietly in the back while others yap. Poor guy, he has no idea what he's doing.

Pop culture will have the Coldplay concert drama, and observers of politics will have the Epstein files. Why is everyone acting so suss, hmmmmmmm?

That bike ride was glorious good fun. I had a blast, and it was great to meet others in the neighborhood.

I don't know if I care about Trump being friendly with Epstein so many years ago, but his current tantrum over a creepy birthday letter he wrote is 100% noteworthy.

Jesus. No wonder he’s been freaking out. This is some weird (and fucking creepy) shit.

Oh!! I stand corrected! But either way, the shift from who is an acceptable candidate is dramatic to me,.an outsider!

I think old school Democratic Party candidates are just out of step with working class voters. It's going to be a very entertaining election.

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's lawyers say they will ask Judge Farbiarz to block Khalil's continued detention on First Amendment grounds, and meanwhile ask again for him to be released on bail. (This is the last filing in a series, and the judge's ruling comes next.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
First, Petitioner's letter, ECF 308, does not seek reconsideration of this Court's prior determination that his preliminary injunction motion did not present sufficient grounds to enjoin the misrepresentation charge. Instead, he seeks release pursuant to his still-pending motion for bail, ECF 93, 108, or, in the alternative, his return to New Jersey, ECF 96, in light of recent developments, including this Court's findings. Petitioner understands that the Court has not yet resolved the First Amendment claims before it, ECF 272 at 92 n.77, and, given Respondents' decision to continue his detention based solely on the misrepresentation charge, ECF 304, Petitioner intends to promptly file a new motion for a preliminary injunction directly challenging that basis for detention on First Amendment grounds. While the forthcoming motion could, if granted, lead to Petitioner's release, this Court may— and should — grant Petitioner bail or compel his return now, on the current record.
Second, seeking release on bail through habeas is not a "circumvention]" of immigration proceedings but an independent process rooted in a federal court's inherent authority. ECF 93; see ECF 308 at 2 (citing releases on bail under Mapp v. Reno, 241 F.3d 221 (2d Cir. 2001), or similar precedent, in Mahdawi, Ozturk, Khan Suri, and Mohammed). That is clear from the irrelevance of immigration bond to habeas release in those other cases: in Mahdawi and Khan Suri, the petitioners were released despite being ineligible for immigration bond; in Ozturk, an immigration judge ("IJ") denied bond before the district court granted bail, 2025 WL 1420540, at *8; and in Mohammed, DHS automatically stayed an IJ's grant of bond before habeas release on bail, 2025 WL 1334847, at *2.*
Third, like the petitioners in those other cases, Petitioner has raised substantial claims and his detention presents extraordinary circumstances requiring release to ensure an effective habeas remedy.
ECF 308 at 1-2. Further, he has sub…

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.
