Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

when Michael Phelps was dominating US swimming there was endless coverage of all his genetic advantages. His wingspan, the way his body processed lactic acid, on and on and on. Nobody, not one person, floated the idea of kicking him out of the sport for genetic advantages
“I just have concerns about fairness in sport” - no, you don’t. There’s nothing fair about elite sports. You’re just looking for post hoc justification because we give you the ick

My bipartisan IRS MATH Act with Senator Bill Cassidy is now law.

Now, if you mess up your taxes, the IRS has to tell you where you made a mistake and how to fix it.

No more spending a fortune on lawyers or hours to find errors.

That means fewer headaches and more money in your pocket.

Trump is literally everything @jaketapper.bsky.social spent first half of 2025 warning US about in regard to Biden, but real & way worse, and he remains silent because Corporate Media is collaborating against US.
Trump’s echo chamber:

Very little U.S travel

No rallies or contact with supporters

Right-wing media

Dinners with rich donors and billionaires

Truth Social

Lack of staff to tell him no www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Trump surrounds himself with those who flatter him in places where he is comfortable.

Downzoning was used by cities around the world to preserve neighborhood aesthetics & protect property values.

New evidence from Chicago in @findingspress.org ⏬ shows downzoning's effects over several decades:

—Higher home prices
—Increased racial segregation

The episodes with agribusiness guys are always like this lol

They had a cattle rancher on a week or two ago who blamed “market manipulation” for growing beef prices. The manipulation in question? Beef imports from other countries.
One of the best Odd Lots in episodes is the one where they interview the Arizona farmer who defends the necessity of growing water-intensive crops in the desert, and midway through the interview, they ask him what crops his farm grows and the answer is "alfalfa for racehorses"
AI's water consumption is a problem for Arizona water. But a far, far bigger problem is our decision to grow water-intensive cow food in a desert

We are 10 years into this and NYT editors are still surprised? No, they are hurting US on purpose.
The Times adjusted it's headlines, but not until after other media started reporting the links as factual using the Times.

How comfortable should editors be with headlines that amplify the claims of an unverified claim, not subject to peer review, by a known vaccine skeptic?

The “we can’t possibly build more homes because our infrastructure isn’t perfect” argument is ubiquitous in San Francisco housing debates.

It’s effectively saying “sorry, no home for you until all infrastructure is perfect — go live 100 miles away.”

The argument is also factually baseless:
Does S.F. have the ‘infrastructure’ to support Lurie’s housing plan? Let’s consider
Housing opponents love to say we lack “the infrastructure” to accommodate new neighbors our otherwise inclusive communities. What are they talking about?

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.

The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.
