So long and thanks for all the fish.

MW is short $ENSG. We believe Ensign rents Administrator licenses at est. ~20% of its SNFs to deceive CMS & the states. We estimate compliance alone cuts 2027 EBIT ~35% vs consensus & slows growth from ~11% to ~2%. FCA exposure possibly in Billions of $. Report link follows

Police shot a man in the back… and delayed his medical care so that EMS could provide care to an officer having a panic attack

They ignored standard triage protocols & treated a non life threatening injury first

They decided the officer’s life had more “value”.

The man died.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Trump’s DOJ just admitted it used false information to justify HUNDREDS of unauthorized arrests at immigration courts.

These are real people who were arrested, detained, and likely deported under a policy the government now admits had no legal basis.

DHS’s response? They're going to keep doing it.

This is an agency that believes it is above the law, and a president who is perfectly fine with that. It cannot stand.

ICE detained and deported a man with severe mental disabilities, apparently gaining his "consent" for removal without notifying his caretakers.

A judge has barred ICE from redetaining him when he returns from Mexico today.

Two-year-old Kaleth is being locked away at the Dilley trailer prison. He is getting sicker with each passing day. He will not eat the food CoreCivc serves, which detainees have said sometimes has mold and worms. He now has a fever. When his mother asked for help, the staff said it was all “mental.” A vulnerable child at the Dilley trailer prison was suffering and ICE denied their reality and their needs. It’s shameful and must stop.

I am calling for ICE to provide proper medical care to Kaleth and to release him and his mother Joani immediately.

A federal judge just ruled that videos of DOGE staffers must stay up — and they are devastating.

Under oath, they couldn't define DEI. They admitted they never reduced the deficit. And they wiped out $100 million in humanities grants — including a Holocaust documentary — using ChatGPT.

The regime tried to bury this. It didn't work.

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market.

In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold.

These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time.

The trader seemingly made huge gains.

Unusual.

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild.

A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute.

Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home.

So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room.

The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely.

The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running.

Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

"Six months ago the Navy decommissioned its four Avenger-class minesweepers that had been stationed in Bahrain precisely to deal with Iranian mines.

It gets dumber: Those four final American minesweepers left the theater in mid-January."

the Prairieland convictions mean: if your ideology puts you in opposition to the state, there’s now a framework for making said opposition a federal crime. quotidian protest stuff is evidence of terrorism is someone around you does something the government *decides* is violent.

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

if you’ve ever worn black to a protest, used Signal, or carried a first aid kit, a federal jury just decided that can all be evidence of terrorism. a quick thread on the Prairielands convictions from last week, and what they mean for the right to protest in the US:

This story is HORRIFIC. This DACA recipient was brought here by his parents in 1999 when he was 8 years old. He is a laboratory scientist who's had DACA since 2012.

Now he's languishing in an ICE detention center because the Trump admin failed to process his renewal in time!

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is totally insane.

A war correspondent just received death threats from online gamblers who wanted him to change his reporting on an Iranian missile strike so they could collect a payout. One bettor had $900,000 riding on the outcome.

He told the journalist he knew where he lived and who his family members were. 

This is what prediction markets on life and death actually look like in practice.
This is exactly why I introduced the DEATH BETS Act with Senator @AdamSchiff.

The DEATH BETS Act would ban contracts on assassinations, deaths of world leaders, and acts of war on platforms like Polymarket. This story shows exactly why that matters. 

When you let people place million-dollar bets on whether a missile kills someone, you create a financial incentive to threaten journalists, manipulate information, and profit from human suffering.

New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks showed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison https://t.co/6BXvVjMLMP

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

ICE is really claiming that in order to stop a detainee from self harm… they killed him?

Geraldo Campos was suffocated to death.

A coroner ruled it a homicide.

Spontaneous is not the word that springs to mind.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"

🚨 NOW: Protesters have barricaded the roadway after an ICE-involved shooting, trapping federal agents at the scene.

Crowds are blocking exits as tensions explode and officers reportedly deploy chemical irritants to force a way out.
