Sen. Angus King says he sat down and made a list of everything Putin could possibly want from an American president. His conclusion about Trump? “This guy, this president, is doing almost all of them.” King then goes through the list. WATCH.

After ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Araujo, the FBI leaked to Fox News a claim that he was found with possible meth in the van. His family said it was a total falsehood; it was a bag of salt to be used to make an electrolyte drink. And they were right. It was not drugs.

We can confirm the substance found in Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's van tested negative for narcotics/ illicit drugs.
We are not commenting further on the test results, as the investigation is pending.

WOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship. She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.
Ashley Brouillette told the Portland Press Herald in a phone interview Thursday afternoon that her ex-husband called admitting to the shooting and defending his actions. The Press Herald reviewed a screenshot of incoming calls Ashley Brouillette received from her ex-husband’s current wife’s Facebook account on Wednesday.

“He was asking me to lie for him and to cover for his character,” Ashley Brouillette said. “I told him that I was not going to lie for him. And then he tried to say that it was a justified shooting because the guy tried to hit him with his car.”

She said she has seen videos of Brouillette on the scene of the shooting and confirmed that was him on scene, telling him: “nowhere in there does it show that this man charged at you with a car.”

“In his head it’s justified. He’s unusually calm about it,” she said.Ashley Brouillette told a reporter that she wanted to speak publicly because she had previously reported concerns to his superiors in the military about his mental health. She said he was abusive in their relationship. She said that she’s been inundated with calls, since reports of Brouillette’s involvement began circulating online, threatening her and her family.

Dear Tom Emmer,
You said Somalis don't assimilate.
Here's a newsflash. Neither did your German ancestors. Or Italians. Or Irish.
Or Mexicans. They brought their culture, customs, celebrations, and cuisine to this country. It's why we eat tacos and celebrate Cinco de Mayo.
And drink beer during Oktoberfest.
And turn Irish on St Patrick's Day.
American culture is an amalgam of all of our various nationalities, Tom.
The only people who were forced to assimilate were the ones whose land we stole.
