Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.

A masked bandit terrorized an Ashland ABC store over the weekend, smashing multiple bottles of bourbon before passing out drunk on the bathroom floor. The intoxicated suspect was a raccoon.

Official Statement
For Immediate Release
On the evening of August 30, 2025, in New Hampshire, Mayor Giuliani was returning home from his weekly Saturday night dinner at Denny's. The Mayor had his usual order of Choconana Pancake Slam® with boysenberry syrup. Denny's had been out of boysenberry syrup for several months due to supply chain issues outside of its control and as such the Mayor had brought his own pitcher of homemade boysenberry syrup.
However, this was not necessary as boysenberry syrup-and fan favorites blueberry, strawberry, and butter pecan —are now back at all 1,500 Denny's locations.
While operating his vehicle, Mayor Giuliani noticed a drop of Denny's boysenberry syrup had fallen on his shoe at some point during his meal, which was under $20 even with a tip. Understandably, the Mayor did not want to let the unbeatable taste of authentic Denny's syrup go to waste after so long an absence and attempted to lean down to suck his shoe.
After several subsequent collisions with other vehicles, Mayor Giuliani pulled over to the side of the road, exited his vehicle, and rolled onto his back in an attempt to better suck his own foot. At this time we believe the Mayor's violent thrashing during these repeated failed attempts resulted in numerous injuries. He was transported to a nearby trauma center, where he was diagnosed with severe diarrhea. There is no reason to believe this was as a result of the quality of his Denny's experience, but rather the Mayor's high level of physical activity so soon after eating.
At this time, no further updates are available.
This is the only statement authorized by Mayor Giuliani.
Signed,
Michael Ragu
Chief Flavor Officer, Denny's USA

I put it in the paper that I got mad. www.lowellsun.com/2025/03/29/o...
Despite reporting that the Trump administration has already refused to comply with numerous court orders, Schumer says our Democracy will only be at risk "if he defies the Supreme Court". This distinction has no historical precedent and it's not how the American legal system works. Contrary to Schumer's claims, defying the judiciary is an equally severe breach of the constitutional order regardless of whether it is the Supreme Court or a local county judge. Higher courts have the ability to overrule the decisions of lower courts, but the decision of a lower court is law unless and until it gets overturned. A convicted murderer doesn't get to walk free because they are planning to appeal the case.Furthermore, by declaring that anything short of defying the Supreme Court does not qualify as a threat to American democracy, Schumer invites the Trump administration to commit more lawless actions. Schumer is creating a permission structure for more defiance of court orders and more violations of law.

Schumer's strategy feels like a betrayal to many Democratic supporters. Younger voters like me are desperate for leadership that will fight back against the Trump administration and protect its growing list of targets. The administration is engaged in a constant assault on trans Americans and immigrants, and is attempting to eliminate civil rights protections that date back to the end of Jim Crow. Many of these actions are of dubious or debatable legality. Members of these groups - and others attacked by Trump - are justified in feeling outrage at Schumer's strategic choice here.Without a stronger response to the Trump administration's overreach, this strategy sends a clear message to its base: the Democratic leadership will choose not to defend you if they feel that there is a strategic benefit in your abandonment.

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam. It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.
