An unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume angrily confronted Santa Clara city officials during a joint meeting of the City Council, city authorities and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority on Tuesday, using his public comment to condemn the city’s stance on cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE has been widely criticized by the public and lawmakers after their enforcement tactics in Minnesota left two people dead and resulted in the detainment of U.S. citizens and noncitizens alike, leading to thousands calling for the agency to leave the area. The caped crusader’s remarks come amid heightened scrutiny of federal law enforcement at the Super Bowl in February. Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara is set to host Super Bowl 60, and ICE has publicly outlined its role at previous Super Bowl events, contributing to concerns raised during the meeting. The speaker accused city leaders of putting residents at risk by letting the federal government “walk all over” the city during the national sporting event. “What the f—k are we doing here?” the man said in his opening remarks. “... You have had months to prepare for this upcoming event.”

Their opening bid should have been eight or 10 bold proposals. But as usual, the Democrats start by negotiating with themselves. The Democrats are pushing reforms that they know won’t work because they are doing performative, perfunctory opposition to try to quiet their base, instead of real legislating and fighting to dismantle Trump’s ICE and CBP. It’s a huge whiff on one of the defining issues of this era. The time to end invasions of American cities and monstrous raids was yesterday, not 2029.

Catherine O'Hara, a legendary Hollywood actor known for her roles in 'Schitt's Creek' and 'Home Alone,' has died. She was 71.

U.S. Agency for International Development staffers in early 2024 drafted a warning to senior officials in Joe Biden’s administration: Northern Gaza had turned into an “Apocalyptic Wasteland” with dire shortages of food and medical aid. Three months after the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks and Israel's incursion into the Gaza Strip, the internal message laid out in gruesome detail scenes observed by United Nations staff who visited the area on a two-part humanitarian fact-finding mission in January and February. The staff reported seeing a human femur and other bones on the roads, dead bodies abandoned in cars and “catastrophic human needs, particularly for food and safe drinking water.” But the U.S. ambassador to Jerusalem, Jack Lew, and his deputy, Stephanie Hallett, blocked the cable from wider distribution within the United States government because they believed it lacked balance, according to interviews with four former officials and documents seen by Reuters.

The former Sangamon County Sheriff's deputy convicted of fatally shooting Sonya Massey, a 36-year-old Black mother of two children, in her home in the Cabbage Patch neighborhood in 2024 was sentenced to 20 years in prison at a Jan. 29 hearing. The sentence for Sean Grayson, 31, of Riverton, effectively works out to 10 years because he will serve it at 50% per Illinois statute. He will get credit for time served. It was the maximum sentenced he could have received. He will have two years of mandatory supervised release following the prison sentence.

We've gone way past the bottom of the barrel It's perhaps the least surprising collaboration of 2026. Time Magazine (owned by Marc Benioff and doing stuff like this) has teamed up with Darren Aronofsky (already well known for copying the work of others) on an AI-generated web series about the American Revolution that finally answers the question nobody was asking: what if that Coke ad had muskets in it? Aronofsky is Executive Producer on the series On This Day… 1776--presumably because slop spat out by a mutated autocorrect doesn't need a director--and the way Time describe this thing is wild

A deadly shooting involving police at a west Phoenix home on Monday is under investigation, authorities said. According to multiple media reports, witnesses are alleging that police shot the wrong man after responding to a shooting call. Officers responded to a shooting call at the house near 73rd Drive and Lower Buckeye Road around 6:20 p.m. Multiple local media outlets, including ABC15, interviewed family members at the scene who said police fatally shot the person who called them — not the man who was shooting inside the house. “They shot the wrong guy,” Jarvis Gonzalez, who lives in the home, told 12News. “They shot my stepdad in the face.”
