This is Maria, a 6-year-old detained by ICE last year.
She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again.
Most of all, she wanted to be reunited with her cat, Milo. 1/

From his now-deleted and grotesque post targeting the Obamas, to his doctored image that altered the expression and skin tone of a Black civil rights lawyer, his use of AI is simply the newest form of an old pattern: open racism from Donald Trump.

Trump now says he didn’t personally post the racist video and that it was done by a staffer. That raises serious questions. If a staffer handled this post, it’s fair to ask which other public statements or posts are actually coming directly from him versus someone on his team.

I worked for a company that gave every employee a thick, heavy hard cover book about their family history. And their art collection. They travelled around handing these out at little ceremonies. Figured it was a tax write off. Le Barf.
When you hear of a billionaire losing money on a pricey hobby or side business — whether it's a race horse or a newspaper — remember that those losses can actually create huge write-offs that let the ultrarich get away with paying little or no income tax.

Well Trump is very upset that so many people spoke out in support of the family. According to their attorney, the federal government has now filed a motion seeking to end the asylum claims for the family of Liam Conejo Ramos.

In case you're wondering why major news channels keep booking the same (sometimes idiotic) men again and again on their 24-hour newscasts, here's some insider intel:
I can tell you why, at least at CTV. I used to chase produce for Newschannel when Power Play was off air.
You'd show up for work, making (in my case) less than 50K a year, and you'd have like, two hours at a time to find someone to speak about XYZ, on national TV, with next to no notice.
