Pete’s War on Low T!

Chatting with @ledgemd.bsky.social & Myke Cole about the new mandatory annual testosterone screening for service members over 30.

What low T really means, risks/benefits of treatment and if the Odyssey was a good movie.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent.

There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off.

We can see this in the ICE flight data. Domestic “round-up” flights are spiking, and some activist flight watchers report the flights are getting fuller.

But deportation and removal flights remain steady. This means the concentration camps are getting packed to the brim. It’s awful to comprehend.
ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure.

Keep a watch.
ICE is surging in the Seattle area. (Map shows activity in the last week)

It’s the 20-year anniversary of this piece — I spent a day with Barack Obama & wrote this article that generated the most feedback of any article I’ve written in my whole life.

At the time, I was berated for writing it. But I’m proud of it — it predicted everything that subsequently happened.
Mr. Obama Goes to Washington
Barack Obama talks a great progressive game. But his record so far shows he has a proven ability to mix charisma with deference to the establishment.

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.

They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.
DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."
Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas
Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...
