Dave Matthews: “This father and grandfather who was murdered by ICE in Houston, Texas. Then they say he’s not even the guy they were looking for. Well then don’t pull the trigger you assholes. It just makes me mad. I want to send this to the memory of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo”
To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years.
I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.
People are not behaving right about #hantavirus. Nobody will like me for this but it is possible to say that the Trump people are anti science without terrifying folks about this outbreak. Did we learn nothing? If I’m to “follow the science” here is what it is telling me…. 1/

“Patel’s drinking has been a recurring source of concern…They said that he is known to drink to the point of obvious intoxication….On multiple occasions in the past year, members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated…”
DC panel has (again) BLOCKED Judge Boasberg from investigating possible criminal contempt by DOJ and DHS officials, including now-Judge Bove, in connection with sending Venezuelans to CECOT against his order. (I can't access full ruling yet.) Panel: Judges Rao (Trump) Walker (Trump) & Childs (Obama)

Yesterday evening, Benjamin Wittes sat down with @Klonick, @mollylroberts, and @rparloff to debrief the hearing that occurred on Anthropic's request for a preliminary injunction in their challenge to the Department of Defense's designation of it as a supply chain risk.
Remembering Nuremberg prosecutor and world law architect Benjamin B. Ferencz, who was born on this date in 1920. Hearing his voice deploring every aggressive war
One of the most underappreciated aspects of viral infections is the long-term and severe consequences they can cause.
Polio - lifelong paralysis
HPV - cancer
Hepatitis B/C - liver cancer
Measles - immune amnesia
COVID19 - long COVID
Preventing infection matters.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate The Bulwark community. They single-handedly (many-handedly?) made my book *How to Eat an Elephant: One Voter at a Time* a best-seller before it’s even hit shelves. I might have to let @JVLast moderate a focus group…

New: Pentagon briefers acknowledged to congressional staff in a briefing Sunday that Iran was not planning to strike US forces or bases in the Middle East unless Israel attacked Iran first, multiple sources to @NatashaBertrand, @jmhansler & me.
Why this matters: It undercuts Trump admin’s argument on Saturday that Iran was planning to potentially strike the US preemptively & posed an imminent threat: https://t.co/D82DprKBh9
But also it’s not only measles, pertussis (whooping cough) is also returning, and based on latest ACIP (or what used to be ACIP) stunts, we’ll see rotavirus, meningococcal meningitis, HBV liver cancer, return after that. A public health disaster built by design since Jan 2025
BREAKING🚨 A man was choked to death by ICE guards, and DHS hid his body at a military base to block the autopsy.
His name was Geraldo Lunas Campos. When the county medical examiner finally performed an autopsy, the conclusion was devastatingly clear: his death was ruled a homicide.
But here is the detail that should make your blood run cold.
When another man recently died at that exact same #ICE facility, the Department of Homeland Security didn't call the local medical examiner. Instead, they moved his body to a nearby U.S. Army base.
And that Army base is now flat-out refusing to release the results of the autopsy.
This was revealed today by Senator Dick Durbin in a horrifying congressional hearing about the explosion of deaths in ICE custody under the Trump administration.
Eight people have already died in ICE custody in just the first two months of this year alone. Many of them died from easily treatable illnesses.
911 logs show ICE facilities are completely overwhelmed, ignoring basic human rights.
But moving a body to a military installation to dodge a local homicide investigation? That isn't just negligence. That is a coordinated, state-sponsored cover-up.
They are operating mass detention facilities with zero accountability. They are treating human beings like they are disposable. And when their guards cross the line, they use the full weight of the federal military apparatus to hide the evidence.
We are watching human rights abuses happen on American soil, funded by our tax dollars. We must demand the autopsy report.
Share this. Do not let them sweep these deaths under the rug.
