MacFarlane: The Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio has got the same issue. Last year, they paid $50,000 for diesel to transport their food. Now, they’re paying $150,000 for the diesel to transport their food.

He was already handcuffed when ICE agents picked him up and slammed his head against the van door. Minutes earlier, six agents had piled on top of him after dragging him from the vehicle during a traffic stop.

I’m genuinely worried that he weakened her civil case with this statement out of petty fury that he’s rightfully getting heat for not pressing charges against rapists. He clearly isn’t interested in seeing her succeed and he basically called her a liar—a huge gift to the civil defense

This also sums up the American healthcare experience pretty well. American healthcare is a travesty. This is the bad place.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

seeing reporting on how ICE operates after it "detains" someone, where they move the detainee around as if they were the ball under a shell and then ultimately deporting them to who the fuck knows where. so this is how our tax dollars are being spent...

Trump gave plenty of hints that his followers would rise up if he lost the 2020 election. They weren't taken seriously. Let's hope the authorities are better prepared for the midterms and the end of his second term.

The White House is the people’s house, and the people deserve to know what’s happening inside. Especially, when POTUS invites a bunch of tech billionaires and the leader of our major global competitor inside. In spite of this court order—the press were once again blocked from reporting last night.

CNN’s Jake Tapper aired an old clip of P0TUS blasting then-Pres Obama for hosting Chinese President Xi Jinping for a state dinner in 2015. “I would not be throwing him a dinner,” T declared. “We’ve had this conversation. I’d get him a McDonald’s hamburger, and I’d say, ‘We gotta get down to work.'”
