The flow of drugs into our communities is a huge problem.

But the answer is not more foreign wars and using the U.S. military to blow up boats.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

It’s not just a hotter world. Heat creates disorder and chaos. The hotter something gets, the more kinetic energy it has: molecules vibrate, relationships change, life overheats, things die.

DHS has in general stopped publishing (or only dribbled out) a whole range of datasets on immigration enforcement. For example, USCIS used to publish data on credible fear interviews every other week. Hasn't been updated even ONCE since Trump took office.
