'We're not a violent city': Chicago locals take on ICE block-by-block
The immigration agents' tear gas grenades clinked and then exploded against the concrete, shrouding the block in plumes of white gas. The dozen or so residents at the scene only screamed louder.

If the Trump administration launches its MAHA strategy on the back of Kennedy’s misguided pursuit of getting fast food chains to replace vegetable oil with beef tallow and eliminating trace amounts of pesticides in the food supply, it will amount to little more than window dressing.

This man is truly delusional. Qualified true scientists have been working on this for years. If he issues anything, it will be junk science just as his boss Felon47 uses junk economics 'guide' our economy.

These brands see very high quality cloth. Much of it is imported from specialty fabric mills.
There are a handful of apparel brands that proudly cut and sew their clothing in America. Even they're not cheering the wild, on-again-off-again tariffs coming out of the White House. I took a field trip to the garment district to learn why: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/b...

France has promised military assets to defend Denmark's territory against the USA or any the threat.
