My god.

After 4 days in ICE custody, they found the man in a shower stall hog-tied, with a sheet around his neck.

The medical examiner claimed there were other instances of this.

Which means this is not an isolated case.

NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House.

Anyone able to help my name-brother?
This is a longshot but I've tried all my usual sources without success! I am looking for a copy of Pontormo's Diary by Rosemary Mayer, published in the early 1980s.

No British library seems to have a copy, and secondhand retailers like Abebooks are coming up empty too.

Suggestions?

"It was tough to beat Apple, but the Swiss did it." said one administration official.

2020: supply chain issues increased prices; when supply chain evened out, prices didn't all return to pre-COVID levels b/c companies learned ppl would pay more.

2025: tariffs increase prices; when tariffs are lower, who expects return to pre-tariff prices, now that companies know ppl will pay more?

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Can we circle back to the part where the NY Times never disclosed that they have incriminating information on Donald Trump from sent by Epstein that's been sitting on their email servers for nearly a decade?
Stuff like this makes me wonder why there hasn't been any reporting about Trump having affairs during his presidencies
