A 19-year-old in ICE custody killed himself inside the Glades County detention center on Monday. That's 13 deaths in ICE detention in 2026 — average 1 every 4 days. The Biden admin canceled ICE's contract with Glades in 2022, citing egregious violations. Trump restarted it.

13 people have died in ICE detention less than 3 months into 2026. That’s after 31 ICE detainees died in 2025 — a two-decade high. An Afghan refugee and Mexican teenager are the latest to die in custody. Our report. W/ @juliaingram_. cbsnews.com/news/ice-detai…

#BREAKING: Psaki: “Some DHS contractors told White House officials they were asked to PAY Corey Lewandowski. The big allegation in this piece is about the private prison company GEO Group. It is one of the biggest private prison companies in the country and is a key part of ICE’s system of detention centers across the country. A senior DHS official…told NBC News that after Trump was elected, during the transition, Lewandowski told the founder of GEO Group that he wanted to ‘be paid in exchange for protecting and growing GEO Group’s DHS contracts.’”

Satellite images now confirming Russia's Labinsk oil storage facility is almost completely destroyed, after Ukraine's strikes 3 days ago. With 18 tanks now destroyed, this key facility in Krasnodar Krai is likely no longer operational, according to employees.

Trump’s FCC waived a rule so a Trump ally’s broadcast company can reach 60% of US households. Between Nexstar and Sinclair Broadcasting, two of Trump’s allies will control 450 local stations, including news, in 95% of U.S. markets. Trump’s billionaire allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Threads, TikTok, Truth and Twitch. They own Fox News, CBS, CNN, WaPo, WSJ, NY Post and the majority of local news stations. This is by design. The news will be what Trump and his administration say it is.

President Trump, the felony fraudster convicted of 34 criminal counts, wants to be seen as “tough on fraud.” Here's the reality Republicans don't want to admit: In just one year, Trump’s pardons wiped out more than $1.3 billion in restitution and fines owed to victims and survivors of crime.

NEWS: Ranking Member @RepRaskin releases a new Committee staff analysis exposing how Trump’s corrupt pardon spree of nearly 1,600 criminals deprives victims of $1.3 billion in restitution and fines owed to them and American taxpayers.

I prosecuted the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, and then Donald Trump himself. One week after he took office again, he fired me. Now I’m running for Congress to defend our democracy and restore the rule of law.

Hegseth: "We're still dealing with the environment Joe Biden created—depleting our stockpiles and sending them to Ukraine instead of our own military. Every time we face a challenge, it traces back to 'Well, sent it to Ukraine.'" It looks like they’re just going to blame Ukraine whenever anything goes wrong now, doesn’t it? It’s depressing to watch because while this administration will eventually leave office, a segment of Americans will keep hating Ukraine without even remembering why.

Trump is, again, lying about shortages of ammunition for the war against Iran due to some imaginary supplies to Ukraine. Here are some facts: The kinds of weapons we are using to strike Iran were NEVER sent to Ukraine: PrSM (entered service in 2024), LUCAS drones (brand new), Tomahawks (Trump talked about sending some, never did), and of course B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, F-22 Raptors, and F-35s -- obviously none were ever transferred to Ukraine. The only weapons one might plausibly refer to would be ATACMS: the entire stock we deigned to send Ukraine was about 50 rounds (we had used 800 in the opening days of the Iraq invasion). The US used over 20 weapons systems to hit over 1,000 targets simultaneously during the opening hours of Operation Epic Fury. An estimated 300 Tomahawks were used and the Pentagon ordered... 57 new ones in the current fiscal year. There have been no deliveries of THAAD interceptors since 2023 and no new orders were placed this year. The military will get 39 in 2027, six years after ordering them. If we are running short on ammunition, it's because the people ordering this war did not plan adequately for contingencies and spent like drunken sailors, not because of our (really nonexistent for the past year) aid to Ukraine. Our big problem is that right now, we are still using extremely expensive systems like Patriots ($3-4 million per missile) and NASAMS/AMRAAM interceptors ($0.8-1.2 million per missile) to combat mass-produced $20,000 Shahed drones. This asymmetric exchange ratio between offense and defense is what kept analysts at night during the Cold War and why eventually defense systems would be scrapped for being too easily overwhelmed by numbers despite being technologically superior. Ukraine has been fighting and innovating precisely to deal with the asymmetric offense capabilities of Russia for years, and they have learned how to do it. But when they offered to help us last year, the Trump administration arrogantly brushed them aside. Now we are squandering premier weapons designed to stop ballistic missiles on cheap drones. And we can't keep doing it no matter how wealthy we are. Missiles take months, sometimes years, to make, while drones can be mass produced in weeks. You lose wars not when the offense peaks --- as the current bombing afficionados at the White House have you believe with their nonstop meming about raining destruction on Iran -- but when your defense capacity is stretched to its limits and cannot cope with things that keep coming at it.

Today Russians attacked near Lyman. With the help of drones, Ukrainian infantry brigades destroyed 2 tanks, 5 APCs (BTR-82AT and BTR-70M), 5 BMP-3, 2 BMP-2, and more than 40 ATVs(!). A decent number of IFVs were stopped with the help of remotely placed mines. Massacre. We knew that they were planning to attack. Everyone was prepared. Two days ago, at Porkovsk direction, the 6th tank regiment attacked and lost 3 BMP-2, 1 tank, and approximately 10 ATVs. A lot of other equipment and personnel were lost near other villages at Pokrovsk direction. Spring exacerbation?

Building of the Russian Almaz-Antey damaged after tonight’s attack on Sevastopol. Almaz-Antey is a manufacturer of S-300V4, S-400, S-500, Tor air defence systems, etc. The branch in Sevastopol was also involved in servicing the supplied air defense components.

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. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

Russia's air defense was supposed to protect its rear. Ukraine spent the first half of March taking it apart — 27 systems in 15 days, Ukrainian MoD reported.. The list includes Russia's most advanced long-range missile launcher, medium-range systems, radars, and EW. 🔗 euromaidanpress.com/2026/03/18/ukr…

Gen. PETRAEUS: The future of warfare—not yet seen in the Gulf—is Ukraine producing 7 million drones per year. Last year they made 3.5 million, enabling 9–10 thousand drones per day. These are still remotely piloted. But autonomous systems are coming, and that means drone swarms. They're already being introduced at mission end. Defending against swarms is really hard—you'll need high-powered microwaves or similar. We're not where we should be, despite what we should have learned from Ukraine for a very long time. They're making software changes every week or two, hardware changes every 2–3 weeks.
