I'm searching Getty Images and found some photos credited to the Boston Herald that redact the faces of ICE/federal agents. They don't redact the face of the guy they're arresting.
I'm curious about the ethics of doing this. I don't think I've ever seen this on Getty before.

Pretty much a complete inversion of the rules applied in civil law societies, like most of Europe—where the identity of a person arrested or charged is to be scrupulously guarded, but he identity of police and their images are deemed public information.

Steve Bannon ripped off his own followers with his ‘build the wall’ scam. Trump pardons him. Then photos come out showing him hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein AFTER he was charged with child trafficking, and yet he somehow has an audience because really MAGA stands for nothing.

My original thought was it’s a horror that Trump is in office for America’s 250th anniversary. Now I’m pleased that we will be reminded by our founders every day in 2026 that they fought to free themselves from a tyrannical despot and we must, too.

“President Trump has made it clear…if the Indiana Senate fails to pass the map, all federal funding will be stripped from the state.
Roads will not be paved. Guard bases will close. Major projects will stop. These are the stakes and every NO vote will be to blame”

Neither Putin nor Trump (or Witkoff and Kushner) should get one dollar from those accounts, which must be used to allow Ukrainians to live, and fight, on.
Immobilization of Russian assets is a very important step towards a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.
Thankful to the EU for standing with Ukraine.

I welcome the decision of the Council on our proposal to continue the immobilisation of Russian Sovereign Assets.
We are sending a strong signal to Russia that as long as this brutal war of aggression continues, Russia’s costs will continue to rise.

Meanwhile, Trump is getting free healthcare paid for by the American people. And he needs it, judging from the festering hand wound he's desperately trying to conceal in this clip.
Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

In the long run, the most damaging policy of all might be one that’s gotten scant attention - at least from non-finance-nerds. Even if he doesn't try to fire Powell, he can mess with Fed.
