We, the Palestinians, are still here!

Even with bombs still falling from time to time — even during the so-called ceasefire — we remain.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

Andrew Cuomo going on Fox News to accuse Zohran Mamdani of caring about “woke issues” and talk about how much he’s scared of the subway seems like a pretty clear sign that he has abandoned the Democratic Party.

I’ve been looking for a Colbert quote to post that did suitable justice to my reference for him. I think this might be it.
