Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

In America, we hold ourselves to a higher standard, and we can’t let this President or Secretary of Defense corrupt that. I’m grateful for Jeff Flake’s moral clarity.

In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites.
He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him.

Of all the reasons not to remain invested in stocks over the last three years, the “it’s only seven stocks holding up the market” trope has been the dumbest one.

Can you imagine Fox News if Obama had his own condoms
Epstein, who sexually abused underage women at his homes and one of his private islands in the Caribbean, also kept images of sex toys, according to the new release.
One of the photographs shows novelty condoms with Trump’s likeness on them. A sign reads, “Trump Condom $4.50.” (6/x)

For the first time since WWII, the US is not on our side in Europe. It has sided with the aggressor against Ukraine and European security, seeking to mediate with Russia. The US no longer sees itself as NATO’s leader and treats Europe as a strategic target.

Trump had his own trafficking business and that was the fallout between the two.
NEW: House Oversight Democrats released new photos they received from the Epstein estate, including images of Donald Trump with Epstein survivors.
One image show a bowl of novelty condoms featuring Trump’s face, labeled “Trump condom $4.50,” with each condom reading, “I’m HUUUUGE!”

Fun fact: Crypto Critics’ Corner got super popular because like four days before the collapse of Terra/Luna and Do Kwon becoming an international fugitive we published an episode called Terra, Luna, and Algorithmic Stablecoins.
