Authorities in Tucson are closing roads around the home of Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy, and pushing media back from the area for investigative purposes.

This comes after another news station received an additional note from the person claiming to have abducted Nancy Guthrie.

Some really striking numbers in this new survey showing the flip in European public opinion about America.

But bear in mind this is only Western Europe. In Eastern Europe, it has been harder to take the blinders off peoples' eyes.

Sorry, Harvard, no more certificates with his stupid Sharpie'd initials on them and his "Sec Def number" scrawled like he was a backup punt returner on a Super Bowl team.

Just something deeply wrong when a government cannot follow processes and values that most human beings would deem minimally acceptable.
Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.

DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.
EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.

What possible, non nefarious explanation, could there be for not disclosing the identities of the groups funding these massive PACs until 3 days AFTER the primary?????!!!

Just remembered how, when my daughter was in the fifth grade, her case manager tried to convince us that college wasn't a realistic option. And now my daughter has been accepted at 14 of the 15 colleges to which she has applied.

Vance- “I don’t think it’s smart to prejudge the investigation.”
🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ Isn’t that EXACTLY what he did by calling him an “assassin” immediately after Pretti was executed????
'For what?' Vance refuses to apologize for Alex Pretti claims
After refusing to apologize for reposting claims that Pretti was an "assassin," Vance said he doesn't "think it’s smart to prejudge" the DOJ probe.

Let’s make it viral folks. Thank you @histoftech.bsky.social.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

In case you missed this perhaps average—yet remarkable—man speaking truth to power.
He is magnificent.
Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Three-time Trump voter: I'm looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment to our country. He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly, and now he's being a racist blatantly. He's pathetic as a president, and I want to apologize for supporting this rotten man.

At this point, it's obvious this admin is just doubling down on vile because they feel untouchable.

This minimizing of that depiction of the Obamas sounds like some 1950s shit when moderate white people talked. It waa racist. Its okay to say that when that is totally what it is
