I had family in town for Christmas, and when they got off the Red Line downtown, the first thing my nephew said was, "Your subway is trash."

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Except George Orwell never said this. You'd think that someone who lies so often and with such abandon would be much better at it.

β€˜The best time to remember God’: Amid crackdowns, Somali community leans into faith during Ramadan - The Boston Globe During the holiest month on the Islamic calendar, the Somali community is still celebrating, undeterred by the xenophobic remarks from President Trump.

β€œThe best time to remember God is when you have pressure like this, when you’re afraid for your life.” said Boyah J. Farah, a Massachusetts-based Somali American writer. β€œYou need to remind each other of the hope in prayer.”

Also, disgraced and disgraceful Texas Rep. Tony Gonzalez said this: "I've asked God to forgive me, which he has."

God could not be reached for comment.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

Trying to understand how any veteran or military family can continue to support this administration after Hegseth said that the media's focus on soldiers killed in this misbegotten war makes Trump look bad.

Putin's "special military operation" in Ukraine has lasted more than four years and has killed and wounded millions. Now Republicans are trying to spin Trump and Netanyahu's war against Iran as a "military operation." How long will that one last and how many will die?

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?"

Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely."

"Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers … That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."

And viewers make heartthrobs out of war correspondents β€” remember NBC's Arthur "Scud Stud" Kent during the first Gulf War and CNN's Michael Ware during the Iraq war β€” boosting viewership. It's a sick cycle.
