ICE claimed that Lorenzo Salgado Araujo drove his van into one of their SUVs and later attempted to run an ICE agent over. The first thing our local media pointed out was the lack of damage on Araujo’s van. One of the best investigative journalists in Houston, Jeremy Rogalski, found surveillance camera footage showing ICE ramming the van minutes before shots were fired.

The ICE story is already falling apart.

ICE fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo during a Houston enforcement operation. His family says he was a hardworking father on his way to work. This is a deadly pattern at DHS: no transparency, no oversight, no accountability. We demand an independent investigation.

@MikeRegaladoLA Mary Mac's Is an institution. Get the fried chicken. Since we are both UCLA fans, check out the College Football Hall of Fame. Also MLK site (home &burial). Lots of good eats in ATL. I like Georgia Tech hotel. Amy Sherald exhibit at the High.

This is America right now. We must fight as hard as we can to get back on track.

Just massive blobs of people in rain with minimal cell service, no ADA access, Guard trying to help, but it’s people criss crossing each other trying to find non-existent openings.

America’s story isn’t complete without Latino history. 🇺🇸

For centuries, Latinos have helped build, defend, innovate, serve, and strengthen our nation.

As we celebrate #America250, let’s honor the full American story—and everyone who has shaped it.

Every community has a story. Every story matters.

In 1982, Robin Williams did a routine as the American Flag for the Norman Lear produced tv special "I Love Liberty" created to bridge political divides - and it's one of the greatest pieces you'll see 🇺🇸

To everyone celebrating the first flight on Qatar Force One today, understand what you are actually applauding.

A foreign government handed the sitting President of the United States a $400 million plane. American taxpayers then paid to retrofit it, with an estimated cost of at least another $400 million (some estimates far higher), for security and communications work in a Texas hangar since last September.

When Trump leaves office, the plane does not stay with the government. Ownership transfers to his presidential library foundation. In other words, he keeps it.

You are being asked to treat pure corruption as normal, to shrug at a President personally profiting from a foreign gift the taxpayers paid to upgrade.

In any other administration this would be the scandal that ends a presidency.

With Trump, it’s Wednesday.

Republican Congressman: DOGE is pretty much eliminated in the recent budget. Is there somewhere we can find what exactly DOGE accomplished?

Trump's Budget Director: We have no plans to do a closing DOGE report.

@Maria_Hinojosa But it breaks my heart and consitutional studying in law school that this was not a 9-0 decision. A president should never be allowed to change the constitution by Executive Order.

@IraGorawara Why do you think she decided to move? Needed another challenge or the route to be a head coach???

@MikeRegaladoLA @espn @UCLAWBB Agree!!

Reagan is rolling over in his grave. Iran’s nuclear ambitions were not curbed, and they have learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz works and will undoubtedly leverage it in the future. Now, Iran gets to build brand-new infrastructure under this deal.

Before the war, the strait was open, Iran was being crushed by sanctions, and 13 service members were still alive. Now, 13 Americans are dead, families have paid billions at the pump, sanctions will be lifted, and the bombing has stopped. This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.

You’re the President of the United States. This is how you choose to celebrate your birthday.

The Ellisons now own TikTok, Paramount, Warner Bros, CBS News, HBO, Comedy Central, and CNN, among other major channels.

They are also the largest private donor to "Friends of the IDF."

They also paid $7 billion for streaming rights to UFC, which is hosting an event at the White House.

Trump voters who aren't millionaires don't realize they're supporting a gang of criminals who are openly screwing them and their families. Tragic.

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

Trump is ordering a re-guild of The Arts of War and Peace statues.

The thick layer of 23.75-karat gold leaf will cost taxpayers $5,000,000.
