The policy says reporters cannot obtain or solicit any information the Defense Department does not explicitly authorize.

Media members that don't sign the policy by its deadline have 24 hours to turn in their media credentials and clear out of Pentagon facilities.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Sadists. Truly sick people.

ICE is thoroughly un-American.

Don't you want to know—as I do—how many of these armed, masked, warrantless, insignia-less, nameless, essentially untrained Big Government goons are Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters and other J6 runoff? apnews.com/article/immi...

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.
