Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

"Pitta Pitta People" sound like a fun crew
Tulas were stone tools for woodworking crafted by Indigenous Australians. Archaeologists recently found a cache of 60 of them, likely made by the Pitta Pitta people for trading—only the second bundle of such tools discovered.

Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

He shouldn’t just be pushed out as the House Democrats’ leader; he needs to be primaried out of his seat entirely. Just a complete waste of a deep blue seat.

Ever since the first SpaceX Starlink satellites were launched in 2019, astronomers have warned that satellite constellations will contaminate images of the night sky.
A new study finds that in the next 2 decades, even space-based telescopes could face the same issue. https://scim.ag/3XyjcIw

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.
