Federal agents lied about why they shot a Venezuelan man in Minneapolis. Their story quickly fell apart. The attack marked the only time that federal authorities admitted wrongdoing during Operation Metro Surge.

Then-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem doubled down, denouncing the incident as an act of “attempted murder” on law enforcement. Her agency published mugshots of all three men arrested in connection with the alleged assault, casting them as “violent criminals.”

None of it was true.

I think more than what was going on with Epstein with him raping kids , we need to know why the US was protecting him.

The Gatekeepers: A Peek Into Montana’s Dark Money Network I need to say something plainly. Montana political groups have an addiction to dark money.

Sadly, contrary to what Whiskey Pete claims, this is not the first time we've bombed civilians, including children, and it damn sure won't be the last.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Apparently, Lindsey Graham's drunken Fox News bullshit isn't working in the more clear-eyed Middle East.

“I am sick and tired of war. It’s all glory and moonshine. It’s only those who have neither fired or shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell.” ~General William Sherman

Vaccines save lives.
Vaccines protect you from infection, and/or protect you from getting the worst complications of the disease.
In addition, by being vaccinated, you are protecting all of those around you, including the young, the old and the immunocompromised.

Peter Thiel warned AI is coming for ‘math people before word people.’ Banks have already said smaller headcounts are possible - NewsBreak Last month, Block announced a 40% cut to its headcount, or about 4,000 jobs, and cited AI models as a top reason.

A-hole.

“Thiel warned AI is coming for ‘math people before word people.’

“I don’t really want someone operating on my brain to be doing prime number factorizations in their head while they’re operating on my brain.”

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

HE CHEATED. I question the intelligence of anyone saying this is false and voter suppression.

He's Putin's Puppet, and corrupt Russia has infiltrated our government on every level, and in both parties. The sooner we admit this problem, the sooner we can start fixing it. Until then, we are

we weren't told about racism, imperialism, oligarchy.

too much exceptionalism and "god on our side".

we need to start by rooting out the fascists and crime family in charge and punish them so severely that they don't try it again for a few generations.

The 14th Amendment is clear: The Constitution, not the president, defines who is a citizen.

Birthright citizenship is central to who we are as a country, and we're fighting to protect that right at the Supreme Court.

White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.”

Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.
