James Comer is under fire after a memo revealed Republicans are shifting away from traditional hearings on the Epstein Files.
Instead of formal proceedings, the committee is moving to “roundtables”—informal sessions with no authority.
Witnesses are not even required to be under oath.
A US army sergeant with 27 years of military service – including deployment to Afghanistan – has said that federal immigration agents recently arrested his wife during an appointment at an El Paso, Texas, immigration office.
Folk and classical, country and bluegrass.
The National Science Foundation which funds a quarter of all basic scientific research in the country is being dismantled.
At the very least to keep track of things for yourself.
At least the local Minnesota media covered the story.
Mike Vrabel will not be subject to NFL's personal conduct policy after photos with Dianna Russini, league says
Iran’s Parliament Speaker MB Ghalibaf accuses Trump of lying, saying he made “seven claims in one hour, all false.” He adds Iran—not the U.S.—will control the Strait of Hormuz, with ships requiring “Iranian authorization” to pass.
JUST IN: Two days after saying the U.S. would NOT renew sanctions waivers on Russian or Iranian oil, Bessent’s Treasury quietly extended a license allowing Russian oil transactions for another month.
In Maine, ICE brazenly called their operation “catch of the day.” The banal inhumanity of it all is overwhelming. The deaths, the injuries, the conditions in detention, the brazen disregard for people’s rights, including American citizens. And it’s still happening.

Loss is awful and painful. Glad you found something to get you by for a little bit.
A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week.
For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead.
One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

To all those men asking why these women didn’t file police reports, I direct you to the Epstein files as an example. Despite police reports, in some cases depositions under oath and NO justice has been dispensed from a court of law. The women are re-traumatized and the men are free.
DHS says it didn’t happen. This isn’t a bug to them it’s the policy. They don’t want to verify. They want people gone. A US citizen who was born in Denver. Deported.
DHS deported a US citizen to Mexico. Brian Morales is 25 years old who was born in Denver. Pulled over in Texas with his construction crew. Didn’t have his ID on him and told officers he could get his birth certificate, Social Security card, and medical records from home.
Rep. Carlos Gimenez on Trump's threat to "eliminate a whole civilization" in Iran: "That's not a war crime. That's his negotiating style."
How happy he looks that our trading partners in this global economy have high fuel prices disrupting the international economy.
My dad is also 92 and we also just talked about the first moon landing. Reminded me that at the time, I thought it was no big deal since Bugs Bunny had already done it.
ICE agents shot another driver -- on Tues.
He had just asked to call his wife.
They shot him six times. One bullet his jaw.
Now he can't speak and has been mostly unconscious.

Michael Keaton and Henry Winkler?
Today is day 127 of the ICE occupation of MN.
ICE is still here. Neighbors are still being abducted.
So we’re here too. Still carrying whistles. Still standing watch in our neighborhoods. Still doing mutual aid.
Still fighting for ICE OUT EVERYWHERE.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche: "I just operate every day on doing everything I need to do to execute the president's agenda and priorities, and I'm not alone in that. I hope every single person that has the privilege to serve in this administration is doing the exact same thing."
Q: On fraud, a firm tied to Kristi Noem got paid over $200,000 in taxpayer money. Is that something that would fall under the purview of this new fraud unit?
TODD BLANCHE: You all have decided to write a lot about it hoping that it generates something
@mayorher.bsky.social could you imagine how much this would revitalize Grand Ave or University Ave? Or West Seventh?
Last year #Utrecht widened ~mile of bike lanes on either side of a major retail, freight, transit street so that people on bikes could safely pass ➕ ride side-by-side.
Also added tons of bike parking, parklets, trees, safer street crossings. Lost ~60 car parking spaces.
Good choice for any city?
