In Illinois, ICE agents have been documented swapping license plates to hide their identity. Under Illinois law, this constitutes a Class A misdemeanor.

The state has made clear that this law will be enforced. Federal agents are not exempt from Illinois vehicle and registration statutes.

The US military conducted strikes against two alleged drug-trafficking boats in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing 5 people, according to US Southern Command.

At least 104 people have now been killed in similar US strikes, and Thursday’s attack marks the third this week. https://cnn.it/48X0HCI

It's a shell game. Trump is taking money from soldiers' housing subsidies to "give" them $1,776 "warrior dividend" checks.

Please make sure every military member you know knows this.
Trump’s promise Wednesday to pay troops a “warrior dividend” bonus is actually a military housing stipend already approved by Congress, and not a generous new White House program.
Trump claims credit for military bonus that Congress already approved
The White House’s plans for a “warrior dividend” to reward troops this holiday season are actually housing assistance funds approved this summer.

Florida has had 30 exonerations from death row, more than any other state in the country.

When the stakes are life or death, we cannot afford to settle for anything less than what the Constitution promises.
BREAKING: The Florida Supreme Court upheld Florida’s law, making it the only state to allow juries split 8-4 to sentence people to death.

Permitting non-unanimous, divided juries to sentence people to death is unconstitutional and increases the risk of executing an innocent person.

We’ve confirmed this flight to Fuzhou, China was an ICE Air deportation flight—the third deportation flight to China this year, following flights on Jan 7 and June 3, 2025.
We have been monitoring an Omni flight (OAE3848) that landed in Fuzhou, China today. Though it’s unclear if this is a deportation, the flight has similar characteristics to past ICE routes to China. We will update here once we’re able to confirm.

I've been waiting to find out exactly how Trump was going to personally profit from the AI greed frenzy he has unleashed because there was no way he was *not* going to get a piece.

New FBI Deputy Director just dropped. He’s the former Missouri AG.

This guy used Missouri taxpayer money to sue Starbucks for harming white men, China for not sending masks during Covid even though he said Covid was a hoax, and who fought to execute a man who was found innocent of any crime.

Timeline cleanse.

Busy at the water bowl overnight.
First 2 raccoons were in the bowl, drinking & grooming. Raccoonosaurus came by & pretty much filled the new, 3 gallon water bowl. Furnando, the grey fox, also got a drink. Just look at his nose twitching as he smells the air.
