Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.

The Titans and #Raiders have combined for 2.39 yards/play in 1st half. That's lowest combined yards/play in any 1st half since Ravens and Jaguars were at 1.80 on 10/24/2011

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

On October 10, 2025, Wallet 0xb317… deposited $80M and shorted BTC just hours before Trump’s China tariff
announcement.

After profiting, the trader signed an on-chain message linking the wallet to X account @qwatio, alias MELANIA, a risky whale with a history of aligned trades.

Gov. Pritzker on Adelita Grijalva: "Mike Johnson won't swear her in. Why is that? … She'll be the 218th signature forcing a vote to release the Jeffrey Epstein files."

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

I walk lot of miles every week in my neighborhood, neighboring neighborhoods and live in community that is 89% Latino, mostly Mexican. I wear Mexican flag hat, Mexico jersey or Chinga La Migra shirt so I don’t scare people as an old white guy walking around. We’re all on edge. Chicago Cicero Berwyn
