Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

With the currently released things about Bill Gates in the Epstein files (he had sex with the women and girls Epstein provided and asked Epstein for antibiotics to secretly give to his then-wife to treat the STI he gave her) how are we feeling about the Gates Foundation funding ... anything?

University of Illinois college republicans advocate for executing protesters as “traitors” with art that takes a disturbing killing and makes it even more extreme.

A hard and thorough crackdown on "illegal immigration" will always induce resistance from citizens, because people actually like and care about their neighbors.
What is happening now should make it clear to everyone that a serious attempt to rid America of "illegal" immigrants must inevitably catch legal immigrants and even citizens in the net. And it involves fascistic oppression and violence, corrosive of a free society.
I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

My number one question to moderate Democrats is what restoring rule of law means after they participated in the destruction of Gaza.
The emerging narrative from the people who worked for Biden seems to be "we debased ourselves repeatedly and violated our own laws for Israel and Israel won't even say thank you".

Investors in Mike Lindell's MyPillow have finally grown weary of his antics. To escape with their capital they are obligating Lindell to take the company public. Wall Street is now preparing for its first EPO.

Federal agents cornered Marimar Martinez, shot her several times, boasted about it, arrested her, lied about her to the public and in the police report, and falsely charged her with assaulting them.
Now the government wants to keep evidence of their lies secret to protect these agents' "privacy."
