An AP review of crimes committed by ICE agents shows how their powers can be abused:
One official admitted he repeatedly sexually abused a woman in his custody.
Another is charged with taking bribes to remove detention orders on people targeted for deportation.

My take on Trump ordering the removal of the Pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument in NYC is that he's a pedophile and rapist who is actively covering up his role in a massive sex trafficking operation that targeted children and doing everything he can to distract from that cover-up.

Maybe they shouldn't have rolled over a year ago and handed their power to the executive in the first place?
I mean, be serious here. You know what you did. You closed the barn door after the horse was out.

Legislator wants to legislate, while Mike Johnson is determined to play every game possible to prevent the House from interfering with the imperial presidency he serves.

The “evidence” cited in search warrant affidavit for Fulton County turns out to be unconfirmed reports of human error that have already been debunked, with no allegations of criminal intent, in a matter where the statute of limitations has long since expired. It’s slow-motion election interference.

This is going to end up with an executive order renaming it the Trump Gordie Howe bridge, isn't it
Q: Why has the president changed his mind on the Gordie Howe bridge?
LEAVITT: The fact that Canada will control what crossed the bridge and owns the land on both sides is unacceptable to the president

Hard to overstate how big a loss Rumeysa Ozturk’s case is for the Trump admin. Immigration court is an extension of the executive. It’s very hard for them to lose there.
Here she is being arrested by men in plainclothes. Over an op-ed. Still disturbs me.

My first McDonald's trip haul of 2026! A complete set of early 70s Alfred Gordon plaques, four rare Happy Meal translite signs, a 1971 Hawaiian shirt, a 1958 operations manual signed by Ray Kroc and a Ronald McDonald in-store sign with a VERY early depiction. What's your favorite from this batch?

There is absolutely no reason to be holding children, (BABIES!!?) in detention facilities.

An 18-month-old baby held in ICE detention was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening respiratory failure.
She was then sent back to detention, where she was denied daily medication.

Age verification is deanonymization,
Deanonymization is censorship.
The Supreme Court is now taking away your right to anonymously *read* a form of speech. If speaking can mean that your readers have to subject themselves to potential consequences to read it, how can there be freedom of speech?

NEW: In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court held that age verification for explicit sites is constitutional. The majority said it protects minors without violating free speech; dissenters warned it burdens adults’ rights and ignores First Amendment precedent.

i don't think the leagues should act like they're in competition to one another but if we were going to pick at that bone i think a more relevant data point is that the fall classic last year was an all-timer knock-down 7 game brawler and the super bowl we just watched was a prolonged wet fart
