If you have a ring camera, it is possible to return it and get a refund, and looking into doing so might be well worth your time.

MAGA are continuing their racist attacks by saying Puerto Ricans aren’t Americans because they are called Puerto Ricans.
I guess they should inform Floridians, Texans, Arizonans, New Yorkers, Mississippians, Ohioans, Michiganders and more of that supremely idiotic logic.

A federal judge will rule on whether Trump’s ballroom project can proceed, zeroing in on whether the administration’s plan to rely on private donations allows the President to bypass congressional approval to change the People’s House.
Once again, secrecy in funding creates a vector for corruption.

It behooves us to assume that Schumer is not just cowardly or incompetent, he simply does not want to abolish lCE because he thinks they're good and necessary
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

While this absolutely sucks, we are going to see a lot more places implementing universal global age verification over this next year, because the number of states and countries legally requiring it has gotten to the point no one can keep up anymore.
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month
