The US' largest private prison operator, Geo Group, also runs one of its largest immigrant surveillance programs. Now, ICE is using the privately run system to track and deport growing numbers of people. 200k are currently in the system. Geo expects it to grow. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/t...

Another plane crash?
A small plane that was headed to Columbia County Airport in Hudson, New York crashed in a field killing 6 people onboard, including Karenna Groff, the 2022 NCAA woman of the year.
I’m sure that guy from The Real World is on top of it.

Why hasn’t Trump or the AG said anything publicly to condemn the arson attack on Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family? Silence is complicity.

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs.
That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result.

What are the odds that enough Supreme Court Justices believe we shouldn't put people in foreign torture prisons without due process & especially when the government misrepresents the evidence it has in briefs it submits to the Court?

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
