Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

The US is so paranoid about Chinese tech, they've forced Polestar to withdraw from the US. Polestar is the best alternative to Tesla with high quality sedans, not to mention the excellent Android integration. What an absolute mess and self-own by the government. finance.yahoo.com/markets/stoc...

Maybe stop reporting like the president is telling the truth. Since he’s not telling the truth about really anything.

This attack on Gov. Newsom represents a dangerous escalation by Trump. The President frequently calls for the jailing of his perceived enemies, but his playbook of weaponizing the Department of Justice as a personal attack dog is another level of corruption. This must stop.

Jared Polis is so completely full of shit. His commutation of Tina Peters' sentence has nothing to do with freedom of speech. What a joke. What an insult to the law-abiding citizens of Colorado. What an assault on free and fair elections. An embarrassing profile in cowardice.
