I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Feel for Orion Kerkering, man.

His error isn’t why the Phillies lost. They lost because they scored one run.

BOTTOM: Ingraham’s latest segment saying “they’re all Antifa now”🤔

BOTTOM LINE: We are over the cliff here, folks

He's making our military complicit in genocide. Mark my words, our troops will be ordered to block aid routes under the guise of security. How much do you want to bet this was not disclosed during Jared's "negotiating" mission.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Mike Johnson refusing to seat a Latina Congresswoman in a Latino/a district, apparently to help his white man friend in the files of an international sex trafficker, is racism & sexism at work & if we had a more diverse legacy media they’d be saying this.

Btw, I think that the ceasefire was already violated?

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

Mark my words: this "ceasefire" deal will end with American troops occupying Gaza. That's the plan. It's always been the fucking plan. They just need to get the hostages home first. Then, with Hamas refusing to disarm, Trump will use it as a pretext to seize new real estate.

There’s no evidence to suggest Tylenol causes autism.

There’s no evidence to suggest early circumcision causes autism.

There’s no evidence to suggest we’re in an “autism epidemic”.

There is evidence to suggest that RFK Jr is a eugenicist who’s a menace to society and public health.

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..."

“Oklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma during the Biden administration.”

It’s very sad that Gov. Stitt can say this obviously true thing but @GovBillLee wouldn’t in a million years.
