ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Walmart has long been a facilitator of fraud on a mass scale, a ProPublica investigation found.

More than $1 billion in fraud losses were routed through the company’s financial services between 2013 and 2022.

How Walmart’s Financial Services Became a Fraud Magnet
Scammers have duped consumers out of more than $1 billion by exploiting Walmart’s lax security. The company has resisted taking responsibility while breaking promises to regulators and skimping on tra...

Trump's Epstien cover-up is the most incompetent cover-up ever.
Here's a better view of the now-deleted photo showing Trump with Epstein and Trump with a group of young girls.

The photo was originally posted as item EFTA00000468 but was later deleted. Now the 'official' list simply jumps from EFTA00000467 to EFTA00000469.

When I was on CNN's northeast desk, the first job at 6a every morning was to read the local papers. That guided some of what the massive CNN machine followed every day.

When those papers die, CNN doesn't hire new regional reporters. What you get instead is more panel shows, more punditry.
"The newspaper industry served as a feeder for our entire news media ecosystem. So when we lose those newspapers, we've lost that journalism. In the early 2000s, we had 40 journalists per 100,000 people. We're now down to 8 journalists per 100,000 people," says @victorpickard.bsky.social.

JetBlue flight 1112 almost collided with a US military aircraft in the skies above Curaçao, because it was flying with transponders off. This news has been reported mainly in Dutch and Papiamentu outlets, as far as I can tell.
Piloten spreken van bijna-botsing met militair tankvliegtuig VS boven Curaçao
Het betrof JetBlue-vlucht 1112 op weg van Curaçao naar de luchthaven JFK in New York, in het Curaçaose luchtruim, 26 minuten na vertrek.

A (quite) young movie lover said to me recently, "Not everybody can afford a DVD player," and I said "How much do you think a DVD player costs?"

He said, "I don't know, like $500?"

Those of us who advocate physical media are maybe not doing the best job of messaging.
