The detention, abduction and potential deportation of Fatima Velazquez-Antonio, a legal resident of Wendell, is yet another lawless outrage from ICE.

Following the law cannot become optional for armed federal agents.

All three judges were appointed by Republicans: two by Trump & one by George W. Bush.

This outcome isn't surprising, but it lets one of the most extreme gerrymanders in modern history remain in place.

It will likely result in an 11-3 GOP majority in a swing state, even in a Dem-favoring midterm
Federal judges have OK'd North Carolina's new congressional map, allowing it to proceed. Candidate filing is next Monday. Under the new map, Republicans are likely to net an additional congressional seat that is currently held by Democratic Rep. Don Davis. #ncpol

Should add disclaimer: Chantal Allam (no relation to Tropical Storm Chantal)
Really an excellent story from the N&O, by the real estate reporter whose first name is “Chantal”
Called wholesaling, it’s a murky area of real estate currently not defined or regulated under North Carolina law, and it’s on the rise.

My kind of topic.
Wrote about arguably my favorite topic in all of sports: Jerry Jones spending $1.2 billion on a stadium built at the exact orientation so the sun shines directly into players eyes during the months when the Cowboys play football:

I’ll SIFTP but no way Nuzzi writes this book if she didn’t believe she had an agreement with Lizza to not tell the rest of the story. That was dumb on her part but extremely scummy on his.
Ryan Lizza is still a total scumbag.

Which journalist will let slip that "catch-and-kill" is just an normal part of elite source cultivation, you fool, you imbeciles who have no idea how real journalism worke
Since someone cracked and took one for the team, it's clear that Ryan Lizza reversed convention and put the most explicit (and scarring) content in front of, not behind, the paywall.

But this is a major new accusation of Nuzzi killing stories (and more) for RFK Jr.

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.
