It's as if Trump didn't realize he was the President then? Or figures the world will ignore that fact if he lies about it.

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

Diane Keaton has died and it feels like a theft. A luminous talent and an inspiration to all the quirky girls. I beg you to watch the magnificent “Baby Boom” (1987) in her honour and indulge the joy of the truly standout “horse scene”.

...but since they don't, they aren't professional law enforcement at all but nothing more than armed gangs terrorizing and extorting communities. They should be treated by local law enforcement and Guard units exactly as that, and be prosecuted under state laws.

I really wish the felon and his drunk SoW would stop poking at the country that is the reason for the Geneva Convention, and taught the whole world the term "war crimes".

Bc they were "mean" to the Nazis.

If I knew nothing else about f47, this alone would tell me he is dumb af.

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

Religious leaders here are not mincing words. They have repeatedly used the word "evil."

"Detention and deportation are acts that wound the body of Christ, and deny the dignity of God's people."

Kiev was supposed to be taken in days, I’d say the Russian army has a higher chance of falling out of a 6th floor building in Moscow than reaching Berlin.
