NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

Bari Weiss is completely unremarkable looking, especially in NYC. A city where we regularly see Anderson Cooper out and about and don’t bat an eye.

The only reason to have a $10,000/day detail is to be noticed.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Trump will be pissed when he commits US Special Forces to start saving Christians in Nigeria & he finds out they're Black.

"More than Cat 5" The term "more than Cat 5" refers to the fact that its winds were at the very high end of the Cat 5 range, leading some meteorologists to informally discuss the need for a Cat 6 given the increasing frequency of such intense storms due to climate change-fueled ocean heat

A shocking number thought Obama was President during Katrina and even 9/11. Hint: that was George W. Bush.

I am literally already seeing articles trying to blame Mamdani for not mustering a better response to things that are happening now, like if he was a serious candidate he'd have already fixed it all while running. And I live in the UK.
It's obscene how hard they're trying.

Most of the people ICE is picking up and torturing are probably Christian.

Converting a typical power line from AC to DC can increase its power capacity by 65% or more while reducing thermal losses. Food for thought as Republicans try to push deregulation of energy infrastructure on Democrats, who want more power transmission capacity to enable clean energy deployment.
