A U.S. Congresswoman disappeared for the last six months of her term. Nobody noticed.
Turns out she's in a memory care unit, & her staff (and apparently other people?) covered it up (though she was somehow propped up for an event a month ago?)

Yeremi Colino was 18. He was an immigrant. He was killed after being asked if he spoke English. The NYPD isn't investigating his murder or the attempted murder of the person with him as a hate crime, and there is no reward offered.
Thank you for raising this, Anil.

Zero reward for the white supremacist killer who murdered a teen in Manhattan the same day. Yeremi Colino does not matter to these people.

BIG NEWS: A Wyoming judge just struck down WY's abortion bans.
And get this: The judge invoked a constitutional amendment codifying a right to make health care decisions... that was passed in 2012 by conservatives who thought it'd screw Obamacare! Just backfired.

The most common penalty issued by universities against students who have sexually assaulted another student is a one-semester suspension.
The second most common penalty is requiring the student to write a reflection paper.
Those penalties are only enforced after extensive due process.

It's so Trumpian:
1) Trump's legal team knew they were lying to the court that no insurer was willing to write a bond.
2) But they may have been inadvertently correct, because the bond they later filed is from the same company, which isn't qualified to write NY bonds.
3) But they claim it is.
