"I believe that Americans would agree that the government can’t just make people disappear without any process or explanation. Second, because I want to give the government a chance to admit that they were wrong.

So far the government has not done so."

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

First they shut down the government. Then they tampered with federal workers’ emails to shift the blame. This is corruption in broad daylight.

Education Department employees surprised to find their email automatically changed to blame Democrats for shutdown

Five furloughed employees told NBC News they had put up nonpartisan out-of-office messages, only to see they were changed — without their permission — to partisan ones.

They gave him whipped cream on the way out.

Elite fetcher and in his prime he had 4.2 Ross Combine speed.

More than that he loved our girls and felt their affection.

But his #1 was Gretchen. To be near her was his safe space. Same.

Best in Show….& best friend to many.

The behavior of some of the Americans was an embarrassment to the country.

Where it ranks on the Embarrassment Power Index is for the poets and historians one day…..if poets & historians remain.

Jackie Robinson opened the 1955 World Series with a daring dash against Yogi Berra.

Seventy years to the day, it remains one of the most discussed and debated plays in baseball history. You make the call: Safe or out?

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you…

Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest.
