ICE racially profiles an elderly man and takes him into custody. They realize their mistake and release him. They also intimidate witnesses. This incident occurred in Long Beach, California.

Harris and Hillary Clinton were right about everything but they underestimated the stupidity of Americans. Democrats will continue to lose if they campaign as if voters are better than this.

Harris and Hillary were right about it all. Every shocking prediction is coming true.

Q: What's your message to families facing missed paychecks because of the shutdown?

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

Speaker Johnson MUST call the House back to D.C. to ensure our service members get paid on October 15th. He is unwilling to give military families the security they deserve.

It's not partisan—it’s governing, and House Republicans are choosing to gamble military paychecks.

ICYMI: Speaker Mike Johnson is second in line to the presidency, but he wants you to know he has no opinion on anything and takes responsibility for nothing. His go-to line is “not in my lane.”

They plant the evidence after calling out the conclusion.
Because they can't win unless they cheat, at everything. Science and history don't care what their imaginary studies show.

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats"

subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

Every accusation is a confession. Exactly what too many people feel on the streets where ICE gestapo are stalking them. Ask the citizen who's been arrested, twice, on construction jobs.

Additionally, urinary symptoms such as pain, urgency, and nocturia were significantly reduced in the circumcision group. Quality of life scores also showed improvement post-circumcision.

No mention of boys with ASD who underwent circumcision & exhibited significant improvements in behavioral symptoms, including decreased irritability, sensory irritation & repetitive behaviors compared to the non-circumcised cohort.,

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

I'm old enough to remember when the Republicans shut down the government in 2013 to block healthcare (they're consistent). President Obama sent a compassionate letter to Federal workers. He didn't gleefully inflict more pain on their families because he's not an asshole.

IRS is pulling back on its promise of back pay for idled workers.

It’s another sign federal employees may not receive compensation once the government reopens.
