ICE detains people in secret. We’ve just sued to help make it public. The Marshall Project on Tuesday filed a federal lawsuit in Washington, D.C., against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection to force those agencies to disclose the people in their custody.

There’s another water crisis happening in the Colorado River Basin — and this one’s invisible: A recent Virginia Tech study published in Water Resources Research reveals a hidden water crisis: the Colorado River Basin lost over 7 trillion gallons of groundwater during a severe three-year drought from 2020 to 2022. Unlike shrinking surface reservoirs like Lake Mead and Lake Powell, this massive underground depletion is largely invisible.

Oct 18, 2026: Capitol ERUPTS as Senate PASSES Emergency Resolution Stripping Trump’s Privileges. A dramatic political headline is circulating claiming that the U.S. Senate passed an emergency resolution stripping Donald Trump of his presidential privileges. The Senate has taken several votes challenging specific Trump administration policies. In June 2026, it backed a war-powers resolution directing Trump to halt U.S. military action against Iran, in a 50–48 vote. That measure challenged a specific military policy; it did not strip Trump of his general presidential privileges or remove him from office.

Trump’s rampage revealed a crippling crack in the backbone of America: The United States Constitution is a remarkable and precious document. It was also written in 1787. Article III declares that treason consists of “levying War” against the United States or “adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” It also establishes an extraordinarily high evidentiary bar for conviction. There was a good reason for that.
