BUSY, BUSY, BUSY: Here’s Why Many Say the Ilhan Omar Assault Was Staged.
CONSTITUENT SERVICES: Boston Police ignored all 57 immigration detainer requests from ICE last year. “ICE says it lodges immigration detainers after officers or agents establish probable cause to believe that a noncitizen is removable under federal immigration law, typically after a court has convicted them of one or more crimes and when the noncitizen poses a public safety or national security threat.”

THE NEW SPACE RACE: Space Force envisions rolling awards for new RG-XX neighborhood watch satellites.
RG-XX is being designed as the successor to the Space Force’s Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP) constellation originally comprised of six satellites in geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO) some 36,000 kilometers in altitude.
The flexibility of the new acquisitional approach is necessary because, for one, McClain said it’s unclear how many RG-XX satellites the Space Force will need.
“The quantity will be based off of a couple of factors,” he said, “the cost of the individual systems that we get, [but also] available funds and the mission need.”
And while RG-XX sats are expected to be more manueverable than GSSAP birds and will be the first Space Force satellites capable of refueling in orbit, McClain said it is not completely clear whether the RG-XX satellites alone will be all that is needed to replace the venerable GSSAP birds, the first of which launched in 2014.
I’m sure they’ll be impressive, but I’m less sure about the “neighborhood watch” branding that sounds less like “Keeping an eye on Chinese shipyards” and more like “HOA busybody.”
GOOD LORD:
Just an extraordinary amount of self-congratulation around the basic theme: "We stopped ICE from arresting a Laotian rapist."
That just is the core reality here. Minnesota county-level jails rejected something like 900 ICE detainers for felons over the past year (vet me on this)… https://t.co/Z2pxWtRHOl

Naturally, the Complicit Media does what it does best — push false narratives.
The entire legacy media rushed out a story this afternoon about an Arizona man shot by Border Patrol, explicitly trying to tie what the agents did to Minnesota.
Turns out, the man shot was an alleged human trafficker who shot at agents first.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Dems Are Angry That ICE Is Deporting Their Midterm Voters. “Whenever anyone on the conservative side of the aisle accuses the Democrats of trying to get illegal aliens to the polls to vote, the Dems’ denials are less than convincing. They are no longer even capable of feigning shock and disgust. The attitude has more of a brazen, ‘Yeah, and see what you can do to stop us,’ vibe.”
That’s changing.

All they had to do was keep what they were given.
COMPETENCE: Tale of two managements: Trump’s prep and readiness vs. Biden’s ‘no comment.’
In an open letter signed by almost 200 current and former FEMA employees, they stated: “A change in course is necessary to prevent not only another national catastrophe like Hurricane Katrina, but the effective dissolution of FEMA itself and the abandonment of the American people such an event would represent.”
In addition to the rapid approval of emergency declarations, which authorized FEMA to coordinate relief and provide aid for essential activities, in many cases within days of state requests, the Trump administration proactively coordinated with states and pre-positioned supplies (including meals and generators).
By most accounts, the Trump administration’s handling of Fern appears to have been proven effective, with President Trump deploying hundreds of FEMA personnel.
Furthermore, FEMA has established a dedicated resource page for response and recovery, with federal aid flowing for power restoration, debris removal, and protective measures in affected areas.
It wasn’t about the money; it was about leadership.

YEP. AMNESTY IS OFF THE TABLE, PERIOD.
An amnesty deal now seems further away than ever because it’s now 100% clear Dems will never keep their half of the bargain if it involves any significant restrictions on future migration. They’ll pocket the amnesty & reopen the border Biden-style as soon as they get the chance. https://t.co/OugFBIJ1S2

I LIKE STEEL: US Steel Surpasses Japan, Boosted by Trump Tariffs.
For the first time in more than a quarter-century, the United States has muscled past Japan in steel production — a symbolic and economic milestone fueled by President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff regime and a surging appetite for steel from America’s booming artificial intelligence buildout, Nikkei Asia reports.
U.S. crude steel output climbed 3.1% in 2025 to 82 million tons, according to the World Steel Association, vaulting the U.S. into third place globally behind only China and India.
It marked the first time since 1999 that American mills outproduced Japan, ending decades of relative decline and signaling a dramatic shift in the global steel landscape.
The revival has Trump’s fingerprints all over it.
Indeed.

FROM JEFF DUNTEMANN: .
Caught violating Earth’s Zero Tolerance for Violence laws, Peter Novilio is sentenced to a one-way trip to Hell, Earth’s prison planet in the Zeta Tucanae system. Hell is forever: Two centuries earlier its ecosphere had been infected with microscopic nanomachines that destroy electrical conductors, condemning its inmates to a neo-Victorian steam-and-gaslight society without computers, spaceflight, or any hope of escape.
Peter soon learns that he has been framed by Earth’s paranoid world government, and is offered a pardon in return for conducting a reconnaissance mission to Hell and back. There are hints that Hell is developing impossible technologies or has even neutralized the wire-eating nanobugs entirely. How he will return from Hell is a secret known only to his grim mission partner, agent Geyl Shreve of Earth’s shadowy Special Implementer Service.
But Peter has a secret as well: He is a member of the outlawed Sangruse Society, and in his blood flows the Sangruse Device, Version 9, the most powerful nanocomputer AI ever created. Although supposedly Peter’s protector and advisor, the Device answers to no one but the Society’s mysterious leader, and has reasons of its own for visiting Hell. Peter soon discovers that he is little more than a disguise, caught in a covert war among Earth, a revolutionary group bent on overthrowing Earth’s government, Hell’s ingenious inmates, and the deadly mechanism in his veins. For as fearsome as it is, the Sangruse Device itself is afraid—and the fates of whole worlds would be decided by the threat that the Cunning Blood has discovered outside of space and time.
