What a bargain! At $131/g it only took a $131,000 bribe to save millions in tariffs.
"It was tough to beat Apple, but the Swiss did it." said one administration official.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."

I just discovered that Lumines Arise exists. This feels like a handheld game to me, purely based on my literal hundreds of hours of Lumines on PSP and Vita.
When will this come to Switch? Or am I buying a Steam Deck?

But the leopard won't eat *my* face.

Trump's new rules would end that. Under the new plan, millions, many in red states, could find it more difficult to qualify.

How dare the NFL select a popular American artist for the half time show!
Kristi Noem’s message to the NFL for selecting Bad Bunny for the halftime show:
