An off-duty ICE agent was just confronted in Minneapolis after people noticed a Nazi SS lightning bolt tattoo on his neck.

House Republicans have quietly slipped a provision into the spending bill that could shield pesticide companies from lawsuits.
This could give companies immunity in tens of thousands of lawsuits over chemicals linked to health risks such as cancer, Parkinson's, and infertility.

Same four crimes, different co-conspirators (Carvajal-Barrios pled last June), with Maduro's wife and son added for this one.
Some common overt acts, but not all are.
Focus shifts from CdS to TdS.
