"She said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen.

“I just kept repeating it — I’m a U.S.-born citizen. I was born and raised here. This is my home. My baby’s waiting for me...”

She screamed “Leave me alone...”

Hate Spotify and never use it. I do love Los Campesinos though. See them everytime they come through Chicago.

Saying “not dead yet” is like saying “I love you”. Easy to say…. Harder to prove.

Zelensky’s Government Sabotaged Oversight, Allowing Corruption to Fester

Thanks for the reporting, NYT.

Now tell us how, in the United States, the government enables corporate corruption and the president IS involved.

New US security strategy aligns with Russia's vision, Moscow says The Kremlin welcomes the starkly worded document, which does not cast Russia as a threat to the US.

I turned off the news for 1 day to give myself a break, and came back to this. wtf is going on now?

This article is from January… Whatever happened with the settlement?

Siri “unintentionally” recorded private convos; Apple agrees to pay $95M Apple users may get $20 each for up to five Siri-enabled devices.

“The only clue that users seemingly had of Siri’s alleged spying was eerily accurate targeted ads that appeared after they had just been talking about specific items like Air Jordans or brands like Olive Garden, Reuters noted”

At Art Basel, Elon Musk, Andy Warhol and Jeff Bezos are reimagined as robotic, picture-pooping dogs | CNN The half-humanoid-half-canine creatures look like something out of a cyberpunk game — or a fever dream.

Natasha Bertrand: Lawmakers are apparently being shown the full video of the Sept 2 boat strikes in their meetings with Adm Bradley and Gen Caine. HIMES: “what I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I’ve seen in my time in public service…you have two individuals and clear distress, without any means of locomotion, with a destroyed vessel, were killed by the United States.”

They need to release this video to the public

A corrupt president pardons a corrupt member of Congress for corrupt reasons. With multiple guilty pleas establishing a bribery-laundering scheme, Hakeem Jeffries still called the case “thin” and sought cover in a bribery-plagued Supreme Court.

A lesson in squandering potential inroads with voters.

Trump is a Putinist. The entire Republican Party in leadership roles in this government are as well.
