ICE cut off her wedding ring.

She walked to her neighbor’s house after getting alerts that ICE was nearby. She stood across the street and asked an officer if they were ICE.

It’s way past time for every WH reporter to speak out to Trump’s face when he’s insulting female reporters. Is your access so critical that you’ll allow your colleagues to be abused?

Margaret, thank you for posting this. It is so important that victims KNOW they are not alone. The abuse is NOT their fault. It’s unfortunately more common than anyone thinks. I’m certain the mistreatment of the Epstein victims is triggering for many.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Telling someone they have to pay $1,000/month in premiums for the next 12 months but they’ll get $10,000 of it back when they file their taxes 15 months from now doesn’t do them any good if they only earn $30,000/yr to begin with.

And this reading between the lines makes sense. The sources for the story are likely people high up in the Pentagon who oppose Hegseth's illegal orders. This is what it looks like when they fight back. (Open opposition likely would get them removed and replaced.)

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

The Trump administration inherited an economy that the Economist called "the envy of the world" in a cover story a week before the election and easily could've coasted on that success (again) but instead they set it on fire.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
