These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to.

This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented.

So ICE took her into custody.

The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck.

Not even then. Not at first. The pain will need to be severe.

Yep. It’s USAID’s β€œThe Night of Long Knives” and Elon Musk is Hermann Goring.

One of the most common & heartbreaking complaints I hear from seniors is that they are being denied care by their "Medicare Advantage" plan -- a private insurance plan that exploits Medicare's sterling reputation for profit. We do not need more privatization of Medicare.

This appears to be a fake account. Not really Chuck Schumer, are you, Mr. Russian Bot?

Mediaite got the police report on Pete Hegseth’s sexual assault case. Soon we’ll be reading the leaked House Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz. Nothing more important now than #investigativejournalism

Scoop: Trump personally pressuring senators to confirm Matt Gaetz President-elect Trump and his allies are mounting a major push.

I am confident that at least one hard-working Capitol Hill reporter will get her/his/their hands on the Gaetz Report and fucking publish it.

Young people voted for Trump. Can’t pin this on baby boomers any longer.

A good friend died of cancer this morning. He helped a lot of people get sober over the years. That’s the right way to leave this life - with a trail of good works and loving friends and family behind.

No but I used that as a pick-up line back in the 1970s. Claimed he was my asshole brother who abandoned Mom and Dad now that he hit it big. Never mind that he’s British and I’m not.

So I guess we’re introducing ourselves?
I’m a retired television journalist now enjoying grandkids, the outdoors, reading and volunteer work.
