I love how science is “woke” and “bad” but bases on the moon are “good.” How do we get bases on the moon, Sean? Science.

Sean Duffy: "If we go to the south pole of the moon, we can set up a base. We want to put up fission power. We think we can have longterm stays on the south pole of the moon."

"Police say Brent Jones, 26, urinated in the reflecting pool and stomped on and broke the eternal flame at the site."

A no-brainer: Pam Bondi could pretend to be a both-sides advocate of justice by staging an outraged press conference and pledging to prosecute this guy. But she won't.

Eternal flame at Martin Luther King Jr.’s Atlanta burial site destroyed

Police say the man also urinated in the reflective pool.

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment.

Here’s what experts say you need to know.

How to Fight Your Health Insurance Denial with an External Appeal

When a health insurer refuses to pay for your treatment, you may have the right to have the denial reviewed — and potentially overturned — by an independent provider. Here are six steps experts sugges...

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

If Trump was fit enough we’d have to sit through this with him, too. Luckily he can only manage golf (with a golf cart).

In every family video there’s a part where my dad is filming a closeup of my mom’s face or zooming in and out repeatedly on her butt when she would bend over, because he knew when we watched them later we’d all laugh. She’d get mad (not really). I appreciate these silly things as an adult.

“They’re under extreme pressure.” Dude, you put them in that position. You tasked them with it and handed them $28 billion to accomplish the task.

Jim Jordan after he's played clips from videos of ICE brutalizing people, including American citizens: "I don't know the specifics of those examples you gave. What I do know is these ICE agents are under tremendous pressure ... I think they're doing a good job."

It pains me to hear how many people are using Chat GPT & Grok. I fear a whole new breed of sociopath. “AI told me to do X but it didn’t work, so now I’m angry and embarrassed.” How does one work through those feelings when they’ve killed their ability to think and reason in the first place?

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.
