"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

EXCLUSIVE: Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas
According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.

I keep thinking about how Gov Abbott had plenty of funds to fly and bus migrants all across the country but couldn't come up with a million for a flood warning system.

How the hell did the AP write an entire article about GOP efforts to throw out lawful votes without noting: (1) The GOP is trying to throw out lawful votes; and (2) they are doing it because it will disproportionately harm Democrats?

This is about GOP stealing elections.

On the third anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, revisit our reporting about the women who died after not receiving timely medical care in states with strict abortion bans:
Life of the Mother
When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, doctors warned that women would die, but lawmakers who passed state abortion bans didn’t listen. The worst consequences are now becoming clear.

Just heard this; What if Iranian sleeper cells in USA mask themselves as ICE agents? They can take anyone, go everywhere and basically plant a bomb wherever they want to without having to show their faces, ID or any documentation.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.
