Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) long maintained he wasn't impaired during a 2011 crash. But newly obtained toxicology reports reveal he had MDMA and Klonopin in his system. It's part of a 2,000-page trove of records we obtained about Miller, who is currently running for a third term.

i spent the majority of last year quite literally not knowing if i was gonna have a job the next week. nonetheless, my comrades and i volunteered pay cuts/furloughs to save the paper that we love. how do our new owners respond? by trying to slash *existing* benefits that we’ve had for years.

Birthright citizenship Google alerts may kill me, as I've been alarmed about another Horrible History by Ilan Wurman. The "English people" did not demand migrant assimilation "since 1215... if not earlier," because **they were ruled by French-speaking invaders.** www.youtube.com/shorts/4cSwG...

Nov-Dec 2000 was when the entire Republican Party showed they did not consider "votes," "laws," "precedent," or "the Constitution" to be meaningful constraints on their pursuit of power. It confirmed they didn't just see America differently; their values are expressly anti-American.

So when the product is free after the first 100% reduction, do I then get a rebate for like 6 or 7 times its price? Starting to get a sense of why this guy files for bankruptcy as often as some of us change socks.

Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]

As we have seen in Illinois, when ICE descends on a city, chaos & violence follow. ICE shot & killed a woman in Minneapolis. There is no justification for their actions. Do not believe their lies claiming otherwise. All involved must face justice & accountability. Anything less is unacceptable.
