ICE is torturing detainees
While the acts themselves already constitute torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment, the patterned, state-directed, and concealed nature of ICE’s restraint practices could — under international legal definitions — meet the threshold for crimes against humanity

Companies are dumping BILLIONS of dollars to develop AI data centers.

But they don't come without harm.

ONE center uses as much electricity as 100,000 households, & billions of gallons of water.

Real people are about to face the environmental & financial impacts.

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

MEMPHIS: @GovBillLee makes lofty claims that 850 “violent criminals & known gang members” 🤔 have been arrested in 2 weeks (we’re told most are immigration and traffic-related) + 44 missing kids rescued

He then has a hard time understanding why immigrant communities are afraid

When the government FINALLY reopens, democrats need to file articles of impeachment for the Venezuela strikes. 6 more people were killed today according to Trump, so the number is likely higher because I don't trust anything he says

I remember when Joe Biden traveled to 8 cities for 14 appearances in 9 days after the June debate and then did a 90 minute UN brief but the media still relentlessly hounded him. Where's that media? At a Jake Tapper book talk?

At the surface level, Paramount's pursuit of Warner Bros. Discovery is barely making a ripple. Beneath the surface, however, the thrashing and maneuvering is wild — like something straight out of Discovery's "Shark Week."

If U think I'm stupid enough to believe US businesses will sustain absorbing tariff costs at 51% long term without: a. lay offs, b. reducing salary or c. increasing costs, then you must be a GO☭ w 4th grade comprehension skills.
Tariffs CANNOT bring jobs back if 51% absorbed by:

Chart of tariffs costs. 51% US business. 37% US consumers 9% foreign exporters 3% potential evasion.

Bill Belichick's media sabbatical didn't do him any good when it came to controlling the media narratives.

Bill Belichick's year of media training has not served him well

The number of missteps by Bill Belichick in his new role at the University of North Carolina has been staggering.

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing
