New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

I quit in '85, after 10 years.

A minor health scare broke through the conditioning and made me realize that I'd become a slave to a very damaging habit. Many of my friends refused to stop smoking around me, so I stopped seeing them and made new friends who didn't smoke.

Best decision ever!

Their faces stare down from posters on every street corner in Israel. Their stories, told by anguished family members, are almost as well-known as celebrities. Here is a look at the 20 hostages released Monday as part of the latest ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.

New in PN: Republicans are totally full of it on healthcare.

It becomes more obvious every time they talk about it. And it's a big reason the shutdown is turning out to be such a disaster for them.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

Trump and Republicans took away your health care, shut down the government, and left our troops and federal workers without pay.

But Trump found $20 billion to bail out his political ally who also ran his country’s economy into the ground.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 4d

The Trump administration confirmed that the U.S. bailed out Argentina.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had directly bought Argentine pesos in global currency markets in a bid to relieve pressure on the nation’s embattled President Javier Milei, a supporter of President Trump.
