ICE officers reportedly shot a 25-year-old named Carlos Jimenez.

He was shot after getting out of his car to tell the agents, who had pulled over a vehicle, that children would soon be gathering in that spot for the school bus.

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.

Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

Trump's extraordinary political decline has come despite his clear information superiority and the declining influence of independent, legacy media. It makes it all that much more remarkable, durable and problematic for them.

Trump's job approval in polls since Friday:
- 37%-63% (-26) CNN
- 41%-59% (-18) CBS
- 41%-56% (-15) Strength In Numbers
- 43%-57% (-14) ABC/Washington Post
- 43%-56% (-13) NewsNation
- 43%-55% (-12) NBC News

There's a reason he isn't campaigning.

It was Kimmel. Disney/Hulu+. That was the big one. Peacock announced they’d not renew Colbert’s contract, but he’s still on the air till May. They can still change their minds. Hedging their bets. Disney+ had pulled Kimmel off the air.

To me, it looks like a very wrinkled fabric, with no wind, belt in place by a stick. If it was carried in a very small space, like a rocket, it would have arrived all wrinkled.

"We will not meet chaos with chaos. We will meet it with truth, discipline, unity and with the most powerful defense history has always given us: peaceful, lawful protest."
www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
A protester holding an American flag speaks to a National Guard member in Los Angeles, California on June 14, 2025. The coordinated day of action was timed as a direct counter to Donald Trump's highly publicized celebration marking the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and his own 79th birthday, which included military-style displays in Washington, D.C. Protesters denounced the militarization of democracy, anti-immigrant policies, and what they see as the growing normalization of authoritarian behavior under Trump's leadership.
