BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Five months ago, we learned that ICE seized drawings and letters from children in the Dilley ICE concentration camp. I sued under the Freedom of Information Act. Today, I got responsive documents. www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-e...

Five months ago, I filed a Freedom of Information Act Request for papers seized from children at the Dilley ICE Detention Center. Today, I got a heartbreaking response.

Lovely obit of artist Betye Saar, age 99, who made assemblages from dolls and found materials. An exhibit, "Betye Saar's Black Dolls" is currently on at the NewYork Historical Society, with images from it following this message. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/27/a...

Working with dolls, family photographs, fabric scraps and other found objects, she became a leading figure in assemblage art.

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Residents of Ukraine’s capital stepped out into smoke-filled streets after a barrage of Russian ballistic missiles — only to learn that Donald Trump had backed away from his promise to let Ukraine produce Patriot air-defense systems designed to stop Vladimir Putin's missiles.

It was the second deadly barrage to hit the Ukrainian capital in two days, as Moscow escalates its attacks in an apparent effort to exploit Ukraine’s dwindling supply of interceptors.

Hannity: "My President, Lindsey probably has a heavenly version of Mar-a-Lago. It may even be a little bigger. I wouldn't be surprised if he added one big beautiful ballroom and an arch somewhere on the property. Because he would want to obviously duplicate his dearest friend in life. You."

Six years ago, several former eBay employees were charged with undertaking a horrific campaign—doxing, threats, delivering LIVE PESTS—against a couple who criticized the company. EBay is now paying $55.7M to settle the case. If you haven't read about this before, trust me, it is insane:

Ebay Has to Pay $55.7 Million in Settlement for Its Unhinged Harassment Campaign

For months on end, eBay employees and contractors made life hell for a couple that had criticized the company. Six years later, the company is finally paying up.

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

Overland couple shot dead in Guatemala after local ICE stop led to deportations

The couple’s 14-month-old daughter was found crying beside her mother’s body in a sugarcane field last week, according to Guatemalan authorities and media.

This is deeply ill-advised. A federal panel recently stocked with producers of peptides by #RFK voted to expand access to them. “We’re missing safety, we’re missing efficacy — we’re missing the critical evidence,” said Dr. @erictopol.bsky.social." www.nytimes.com/2026/07/23/h...

In an all-day hearing, the agency’s scientists argued against allowing broad access to unproven drugs that the agency had banned three years ago.

The reality that faces Americans, and the world, today is that except for a small but virulently dedicated cult, no one believes anything Trump says. In the past, if a US president and the Iranian Ayatollah disagreed, people would almost instinctively believe the American. Now the opposite is true.
