So lying about his Clacton home and stamp duty was an accident?
His racism and antisemitism was just 'banter'?
His 17 breaches of the parliamentary code 'inadvertent'?
His offshore banking was 'unfortunate'?
When will the media hold Farage to account?

and protecting it meant protecting clean water, wildlife, and an outdoor economy that thousands of people rely on. To overturn it, the House used the Congressional Review Act (something typically meant for federal rules) in a way many see as dangerous and unprecedented for public lands.

Today, the US House voted 214-208 to pass HJ Res. 140, a resolution that would undo a 20-year ban on mining near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and throughout the surrounding watershed in northern Minnesota. That ban existed for a reason the land drains directly into the Boundary Waters,

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.
ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.
This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

That is an ICE agent pepper spraying a restrained victim in the face at close quarters; it's an unquestionable and indefensibly abusive use of excessive force that should (but won't) be criminally prosecuted as assault

Renee Good Family’s Lawyer: We gave the federal government a letter of preservation last week. We asked them to preserve that vehicle to make sure that it’s stored in a safe manner so that none of the evidence gets altered…That is an example of one piece of evidence that we don’t have access to.

🚨BREAKING: The Trump Administration is moving forward with the creation of a new anti-fraud division that Vice President JD Vance said would be, “run out of the White House” in a break with longstanding nonpartisan norms at the Department of Justice (DOJ). www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
DOJ congressional notice contradicts Vance on new anti-fraud division reporting directly to White House
Vance claimed having a DOJ official report directly to him was “actually constitutionally legitimate."

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars
