Councilmember Nithya Raman to run for L.A. mayor, challenging onetime ally Karen Bass
Raman would immediately pose a formidable challenge to Bass. She was the first council member to be elected with support from the Democratic Socialists of America.

It was only a matter of time before the mom from last week's SNL skit called in to CSPAN
Three-time Trump voter: I'm looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment to our country. He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly, and now he's being a racist blatantly. He's pathetic as a president, and I want to apologize for supporting this rotten man.

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.
This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.
Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

This is how Sen. Ron Wyden clues the public into activity that he finds extremely alarming. He does a press release about a letter he sent to the director of the CIA that basically says, 'I want to make sure you saw the classified letter I sent early today.' www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Totally agree. Rocco Schiavone is great to watch in his Loden overcoat and Roman attitude.
I really love Ice Cold Murders. It's an Italian murder show that features a very classic 80s grumpy toxic masculinity detective (he even has a dead wife! Bless). He smokes, screws around, does the occasional no-victim crime, and has a trio of bros he hangs out with. A classic of the genre 😆

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein.
There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.

ICE is being turned down all over the country from being able to build detention centers. But the truth is they probably would detain the construction workers after the projects are completed. 🔄 🤬
