STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

Lynn Becker @cmgiulini.bsky.social · 1d

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

I LOVE LOVE the melody, the music and his voice even though I can't figure out what he's talking about. (But back in days of yore I also had to have someone tell me what Nights in White Satin meant, so...)

A new study of a 56 million-year-old fossil bird shows that the distant ancestors of ostriches and other large flightless birds once flew great distances. (via @us.theconversation.com)

New study finds otriches and other large flightless birds had long-distance flying ancestors

A 56 million-year-old fossil bone helps explain how this (mostly) flightless family of birds spread to so many different continents.

I’m willing to bet new “lawful” labor will be the same laborers but the pay will go to the private detention centers that will lease out that labor. A new twist on an old American tradition. 🤬

Colorado AG Phil Weiser (D) is calling on Coloradans to turn out en masse for Oct 18 demonstrations against President Trump’s use of the military in American cities. “Don’t be afraid,” Weiser said. “Don’t be afraid to show up.” #copolitics
