Jesus H. Christ: “I don’t remember the very end of the event where I was raped...I can say with 100 percent confidence I was raped.” CUPD and the Cornell are absolutely to blame here; and Van Houten can say hat his office didn't get the full and complete statement - which apparently they didn't...

This will be one of the most important immigration cases in a generation. The Trump admin claims that a 1996 law mandates the detention of millions of people without any right to a bond hearing; every person who entered illegally, no matter how long in the past. If they win, it's a nightmare.

Nashville Banner reporter Steven Hale, describing how prison officials kept drawing the curtain to hide how badly they were botching this: “A lot of this execution — or attempted execution, whatever it was — happened when we could not see what was going on.”

Not bad, but might I suggest: "My political party has been usurped by Nazis, just as has been loudly predicted by my critics for decades. Having been shown to be so catastrophically blind on this important issue, I've decided to step away from punditry to consider what else I might be wrong about."
A group of white guys have subtly inserted themselves into conservative institutions and church organizations. They all embrace racial grievances. To varying degrees, they embrace white nationalism, antisemitism, and even Nazi sympathies. They are getting added to conservative institutional boards, attempting to purge churches, and are desperate to indoctrinate young conservatives into fascist ideology. They even surround the Vice President of the United States. Some of them believe the United States is at a tipping point, and they want to push it over the edge and rebuild it in their image. You might think it does not affect you, but, in time, you will see their efforts in your church pews, in your kids’ brains, and in your politicians’ mouths. It begins with shampoo.
