I always wondered what Germans, in 1934, seeing their country taken over thought and felt. I would have preferred not to have gotten answers to that question this way.

"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

According to Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges, officers started the three-day sting on Nov. 5. They used several methods to find people who were attempting to solicit a 17-year-old girl for sex.

Just got our Covid and flu shots. It takes a couple of weeks for immunity to kick in. The next day the family all came down with Covid. My son also tested positive for flu. I'm guessing he is the one that brought it home from preschool. 🫠 Get your shots folks! This strain is a bad one!

Congressional Republicans voting nearly unanimously to release the Epstein files, after opposing it just last week, makes clear that their only red line is going against Trump

Last week, the US military missed an actual drug boat in the Pacific carrying 13.2 tons of narcotics, which Panama seized—one of the largest hauls to date. Instead of blowing it out of the water, 10 suspects were arrested, and valuable intelligence was gathered. What a concept.

I don't care why nazis like MTG occasionally speak truth to power. I'm curious why more Democrats don't.

Plane is going down with Trump, Oprah, Obama and a little girl aboard. Only 3 parachutes aboard. Who gets them?

Willy Aceituno, a Honduran-born U.S. citizen, was stopped twice by Border Patrol in Charlotte within 10 minutes—first, he stalled to help others flee; second, agents smashed his window, detained him 20 minutes, then released him after he showed papers.

The GOP has blamed immigrants for everything from crime to housing to healthcare to beef prices. It couldn’t be clearer that they are following the Nazi playbook, which also falsely accused Jews of the hardships Germany faced.

The family of a Colombian fisherman killed in a US military strike hired an American lawyer to file suit. “This is murder, and it is destroying rule of law," said Dan Kovalik, representing the family of Alejandro Carranza.

The DOJ is suing California over Prop 50, saying it's a "brazen power grab that tramples on civil rights and mocks the democratic process."

Nothing mocks democracy like a president ordering red states to gerrymander while prosecuting a blue state for letting its voters decide.
