My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to fleeβhis wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.
They are lying to us.
Many mistakes in knitting can be easily fixed by, for example, "laddering" down a row or two and picking the stitches back up. If you learn to read your knitting, even some mistakes that look intimidating can be fixed without ripping back.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

You might want to check that you have the latest version of the plug-in. If that doesn't work, there is a (paid) program called Epubor that I used to fix up any book that didn't want to work in Calibre (about 30%). While I did have to buy it, it was inexpensive (under $20 for a one-year license).

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.
It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.
