J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.

Pam Bondi has posted rants and videos saying that there’ll be no mercy for those who threaten federal agents.
But she and her boss just pardoned a woman who threatened to shoot federal agents.
Why did this Florida woman get a pass? She’s MAGA.

ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.
