Can't wait for Trump to give us a report on the progress being made to turn the plane from Qatar into the new Air Force One
I'm not saying Air Force One didn't have a "minor electrical issue" that forced it to turn around, but I am saying that would be unprecedented for a highly advanced piece of machinery that's supposedly equipped to be a flying command-and-control center during a nuclear war. Odd.

There are numerous reports across the Twin Cities on ICE monitoring pages of drones circling apartment buildings. What valid law enforcement reason could there be for this?

Voting rights experts are anxiously awaiting SCOTUS’ decision to either uphold or weaken the Voting Rights Act.
As it becomes increasingly likely the wait will endure, many are concerned the delay could ensue redistricting chaos ahead of the midterms.

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.
