Did we ever get an update on the "internal bleeding" suffered by the ICE agent who killed Renee Good? Did he bleed out? Bleed in?

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Alito is also the most partisan justice on the bench—yes, more so than Thomas. He sees polls sagging for Republicans and will be worried about Democrats taking the Senate in 2026. He always does what's best for the Republican Party. He knows the safest choice is to step down before the midterms.

Many Blueskyers carry on the tradition of the users of local news websites who comment on the article after only reading the headline.
Something that is very interesting about Bluesky is that often people reply to me as though I have never before considered the thing about which I am posting when in fact I probably have a great deal and that is why I am posting about it. Just one of life’s little jokes I suppose.
