Another US lethal strike on a boat, this one in the eastern Pacific. Total attacks now up to 38, killing at least 128.
As with previous boat bombings, in violation of US law and international treaties, without any causus beli, when the US wasn’t attacked, and hasn’t even advanced stated goals.

For nearly a year, the administration has said that DOGE had no unauthorized access to your Social Security data. A new government filing admits that was false.

A gentle reminder that many states —including Illinois — allow you to obtain body cam footage through FOIA if you’re the subject of the encounter.
There is nothing better than seeing a cop that abused you look confused as all your charges are dropped. It is just *chef's kiss* - only problem is I wanted the whole world to see that bodycam footage. That's probably why they dropped my charges. Shutting down #Broadview is a religious obligation!

NEW: At least one other FBI special agent connected to the Arctic Frost Trump investigation was pushed out of the bureau today.
The agent was retirement eligible and had previously been a part of the CR-15 federal public corruption squad. He received an award during the first Trump administration.
