And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Wonder if the folks involved in the illegal maritime strikes or at DHS have pondered the implications of attempts to undermine the legitimacy of presidential pardons based on the purported cognitive deficiencies of POTUS.

This appears to be the 3rd lethal US strike in the Caribbean.
Once again, the specific "terrorist" entity targeted is not identified.
No legal justification is offered for this premeditated killing.

Nutrition assistance is NOT corrupt. Food stamps kept my family fed when my mom had to look for work after my dad got sick with MS.
The Trump administration wants kids, seniors, and veterans to go hungry. They are REFUSING to use emergency funds to keep SNAP benefits going.

So the HBCU that raised me is on lockdown because some right winger thinks that's how they get retribution for Charlie Kirk, whose killer is unknown? The automatic response is to kill Black people, who likely have NOTHING to do with his murder. And I'm supposed to empathize with this?

What appear to be around 20 federal agents, many masked, swarm Baraka for no discernible reason and start pushing the members of Congress. Again, I haven’t seen all the footage and wasn’t there, but two people who were right there say they didn’t understand why it was happening either.

In the U.S. in 1825, *452* out of 1000 children born died before their 5th birthday.
By 1925, that number was 135 out of a 1000 children.
Today, in 2025, that number is *7*
And it is entirely due to advances in medicine, public health, and technology.
