We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

JD Vance is the worst. Luckily, he’s also dumb as a rock and has the charisma of that rock.

I, too, would like to interview JD Vance, primarily to tell him I’m done with him.

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 investment firm Narya Capital—which Vance launched in 2020 with backing from Peter Thiel—was a vehicle for [AcreTrader] investments & a key backer in early funding rounds of the farmland startup…Vance is still an investor in the firm.” — Civil Eats

JD Vance benefits from farms going bankrupt.

If you could use a little bit of optimism today, here are some stories of North American bird species that have recovered from the brink of extinction. #ornithology

The surprising recovery of once-rare birds

It’s not every day that you see a 4-foot-tall bird, but it’s happening more often. Several fascinating species are nesting in and near towns once again.

POLICE: “If you aren’t out by six o’clock, you will be under arrest.”

POLICE, before six o’clock: “Six isn’t a magic number. Since there’s no way you’ll be gone by curfew, we will grab you here and now.”

unraveled @unraveledpress.com · 20h

Quick update on what we just saw here—*before curfew*, ISP troopers, Broadview PD and CCSO deputies began menacing demonstrators outside the ICE facility. Several arrests.

Pepper ball guns at the ready, a bit of a standoff going with remaining protesters. All people are doing is playing music.

More mining in wilderness areas! Trump’s now targeting Minnesota’s Land of 1,000 Lakes, the glorious Boundary Waters, where activists have held off a giant copper mine for decades. AZ and AK also in his sites for mine pollution near/in wilderness.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...
