At least 8 killed in Mississippi over high school Homecoming weekend. The state has lax gun laws. It's easy to buy a gun and carry it openly. Says one local, "It's easier to get a gun than to get a job in the Delta."

Surely, every mention of Trump will be removed if the Epstein files are ever released.

The RIFs that began Friday will reportedly cut 65% of CISA’s 2,540 employees, one of the dumbest and most dangerous moves imaginable. CISA defends the nation’s cyber and critical infrastructure. Destroying it now only makes sense if you’re afraid of election integrity.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!
