The obvious answer for this person is Pie Town, New Mexico.
Everyone, I’m slowly making my way through the United States and I’m wondering where in New Mexico should I go? Don’t say some smart ass “DOn’T Go” comment - I want to see all the states so tell me what the best city there is thank you 😎

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.

We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua.

If you want accurate reporting and analysis, not fearmongering, subscribe to Law Dork, where I always treated this case as the dud it was. (I covered it at the Sixth Circuit; said it was not at all a likely candidate for SCOTUS for review; and that was, basically, that.) www.lawdork.com
BREAKING: The Supreme Court DENIES former county clerk Kim Davis's request for the justices to take up her longshot bid to overturn 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges marriage equality decision. No justice even writes about the request.

I’m long gone on the theory that Trump is never president if he owns an NFL team. That’s pretty much known. I’m holding onto the assumption he’d leave office for a team and life time league commissioner duties.
Trump, after trying to force Washington’s football team to use a explicitly racist name, now wants it to name its new stadium after him. Trump flack: “That would be a beautiful name, as it was President Trump who made the rebuilding of the new stadium possible.” Via ESPN
Sources: Trump wants D.C. stadium named for him
A senior White House source said there have been back-channel communications with a member of the Commanders ownership group, led by Josh Harris, to express Trump's desire to have the $3.7 billion dom...

Are you an older penguin looking to age with dignity? The New England Aquarium in Boston might be the place for you.

The aquarium has a geriatric island for endangered penguins that have exceeded their life expectancy and need a little extra care. https://wapo.st/3Lobf5N
