There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

2026 Q1 viewership for Jimmy Kimmel Live! was 2.53 million. The Talarico interview currently has 2.9 million views. Good job stopping people from seeing it, FCC.

S. Knutson - I always liked Geography so I was curious to see the names given to the Great Lakes by the First Peoples. Even then, 'Ontario' was part of the name. It was the Laurentide Ice Sheet which was part of the Wisconsin Glaciation that created those lakes.

I've taught MVC for 15 years, regularly using math history, art connections, etc.. I talk about Galileo finding the area under a cycloid by weighing, Christopher Wren's proof, tachisochrone and brachisochrone properties, Huygen's clock, etc. 1/2

Wow! @menendez.house.gov says that the EXACT scenario I flagged two months ago, where ICE "releases" someone having a medical emergency solely so their death won't be recorded as occurring while in custody, happened last month at the infamous Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social For many years, there were allegations that ICE would “release” critically ill people in hospitals so that their deaths wouldn’t be recorded as in ICE custody. To fix this, in 2021 the Biden admin required ICE to report deaths occurring up to 30 days after release. Now that rule has been dropped. Jon Collins @jcollins.bsky.social · 2mo The change comes as ICE has faced pressure after the death of 18 detainees so far this year. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/... ICE to stop reporting deaths of newly released detainees, internal memo says The agency is facing pressure to improve medical care in its facilities after reporting the deaths of 18 detainees in the first five months of this year. www.washingtonpost.com 5:40 PM · Jun 4, 2026 Everybody can reply

Days before the death of Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo, ICE officials did not report the death of another man who’d been detained at Delaney Hall — because they had technically “released” him in the middle of a medical emergency, Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) alleged. www.huffpost.com/entry/delane...

Rep. Himes: "The president was setting the basis for him to turn around on election night and say, 'I warned you that the Chinese were doing x, y, and z. It happened tonight. I'm deploying federal officers from DHS to 7 states. They will be seizing ballot boxes.'"

Taxpayers bleed between $132,000 and $197,000 every single day to fund the private cages at Delaney Hall. When public funds turn a profit for private prison corporations, human suffering becomes a highly lucrative business model. We break down the math behind this wealth-extraction machine. (1/10)

Graphic slide with a stark cream background and clean dark typography. The headline reads "The Million-Dollar Cage". The body text reads: "It costs taxpayers between $132,000 and $197,000 every single day to run Delaney Hall, New Jersey’s massive private immigration detention center. Right now, between 807 and 905 human beings are locked inside. When public funds turn a profit for a private prison corporation, human suffering becomes a highly lucrative business model."

Students, if you’re thinking about dropping a note to that teacher or professor about what their class/project/mentorship has meant to you, but you worry it will be cringe or cheesy, let me just tell you they will coast on the fuzzy feelings prompted by that note for months, if not years

I decided to build a pickleball court in my backyard. I told my wife (many times!) that neighbors would pick up the tab and it wouldn't cost us a dime. It turns out that we will have to pay for it by taking out a second mortgage or giving up our health insurance. I'm sure she'll be ok with it.
