![REVERE, Mass. —
A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts.
The woman, Bruna Ferreira, has an 11-year-old son with Michael Leavitt, Karoline Leavitt's brother.
Ferreira migrated with her family to the United States from Brazil as a child and is currently in custody at an ICE facility in southern Louisiana.
Michael Leavitt released a statement, saying that his "only concern has always been the safety, well-being, and privacy of [his] son."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x4qyokjtdzgl7gmqhsw4ajqj/bafkreiacyzixchgacpjse7wyra342opgjsvdxzqdrkxq55zzqah65zyeae@jpeg)

This explains why that pizza topped with glue, rocks, and staples tasted so awful. Jeez.
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

Day laborer organizers in California are lining up at Home Depot to buy a single 17-cent ice scraper, return it, and repeat the process in an effort to slow sales and protest the store’s cooperation with ICE operations.

For the love of the gods, people, PLEASE stop using AI art in your posts here. It doesn't matter if it is clever, if it supports your message, if you think it drives home your point. It is soul-sucking, earth-destroying, mind-rotting GARBAGE. DO BETTER!

So it's not just Trump and Bondi running interference for pedophiles. Bessent is a key part of the Epstein coverup. I plan to seek Senate approval of my bill to force the Treasury Department to release its Epstein file in the coming weeks because we need to keep on following the money.

Top JPMC execs were in constant contact with Epstein and were aware of his shady financials. Top staff at JPMC, reporting directly to CEO Jamie Dimon, closely supervised Epstein’s accounts. One even coached Epstein on how to sanitize his suspiciously large cash withdrawals.

Suddenly, I'm getting a ton of author-focused scam emails saying how much they LOVED my recent book, "Fixers," and they'd be delighted to help me promote it — for a price, of course.
I never wrote a book called "Fixers."
You'd think at least they could get the author and book right.

Another deeply depressing part of this stupid timeline has been watching right-wing assh*les adopting psychedelics. The myth of psychedelics leading to empathy and enlightenment has been trashed by these greedy, hedonistic bigots.
