During freezing temperatures in Port Arthur, Texas, a 61-year-old homeless man was found dead in his wheelchair outside a convenience store.
He was wearing a hospital gown and no shoes. Authorities say he had been released from a hospital the previous day.
This is a diseased society.

They are doing this everywhere. Pushing up court dates with little notice, filing motions to cancel Asylum applications without letting them present their case, and then deporting them to a third country that has no established asylum system.
HAPPENING NOW: DHS just expedited Liam Conejo Ramos' asylum hearing to this morning, meaning it's possible the five-year-old and his family could be deported as soon as today.

OMG this is appalling!
More to come on this; the rule makes a number of other changes to the Board of Immigration Appeals process (such that it will exist should this rule go into effect in 30 days without a court order blocking it). But top line; it's quite bad! public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-02326.pdf

Yup. Have been dealing with this for the last few months. Also, they conveniently forget to mention that Uganda is only accepting people from Africa. Not anywhere else.
I witnessed this insanity today. 7 cases I observed in a row went as follows:
1) Russian Asylum Seeker > DHS Lawyer motioned to "pretermit" their case and send them to Uganda.
2) Pakistani Asylum Seeker > DHS Lawyer motioned to "pretermit" their case and send them to Uganda.

NEW: The Trump administration is stepping up its battle against NYC's immigrants—stopping their asylum cases and instead filing motions to send them to other countries across the world.
One Latin American woman was told this week she'd be sent to Uganda.

Don Lemon was not the only journalist arrested -- Georgia Fort was as well. Don Lemon has the resources to come out of this just fine. Georgia Fort may not. Let's make sure the focus is on both of them.
"As a member of the press, I filmed the church protest a few weeks ago and now I'm being arrested for that," Indipendent journalist Georgia Fort said. "It's hard to understand how we have a Constitution, Constitutional rights, when we can just be arrested for being a member of the press."
Journalists Don Lemon, Georgia Fort arrested in connection with church protest against ICE
Lemon's attorney said he was taken into custody by federal officers Thursday night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy Awards.

NEW: Experts are questioning the legality behind the FBI’s unprecedented raid of 2020 election materials in Fulton County. They’re also warning it’s not about 2020 — but 2026.
Law professor Rick Hasen said it’s possible “this is a test run for 2026, when control of Congress may be at stake.”

FBI’s Fulton County raid may have been illegal, legal experts warn. But it definitely raises fears for 2026
'This is a test run for 2026... Trump could try to seize voting machines or otherwise interfere with state ballot tabulation processes in swing districts around the country.'

NEW: Following TikTok’s sale to a Trump-aligned business group, our office has received reports — and independently confirmed instances — of suppressed content critical of President Trump.
It’s time to investigate.
I am launching a review into whether TikTok is violating state law by censoring Trump-critical content.

I wrote my college thesis on Wuthering Heights. It is still one of my favorite books of all time.
You want us to read literary books, but then you are bitching about Wuthering Heights? A book that is literally part of the English canon and is taught in High School English classes across the nation?
That Wuthering Heights? 🙃
Are you going to bitch about Pride and Prejudice next?
