ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

I guess I will throw this up in advance: I have enjoyed my time with back with you guys (I had taken a long break for physical and mental health reasons). But...if/when I get hit with any sort of verification, I'm noping out. No matter how innocent, it's the principal of the matter.

"You don’t pressure witnesses to a shooting to self-deport if your goal is to get to the bottom of what happened." In the same way that the government did not investigate the Minnesota shootings, they will not investigate these shootings.

On the one hand, I don't know that Rutte, given his job, could have said anything different here, as spineless and cowardly as this makes him seem. On the other hand: Kudos to the reporter who asked this the-emperor-has-no-clothes-and-is-also-batshit-crazy question.

The US govt, markets, and a lot of media told you there's peace with Iran and shipping is flowing. What's actually happened is the war entered a new phase: the fight for Hormuz. Trump lost his war so badly the US aim now is just to get back to the pre-war status quo. I explain in @ms.now, ICYMI:
ms.now
The U.S.-Iran war just entered a new phase. Here's what's at stake.
Now the conflict is over whether Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and can charge fees, or if the U.S. can restore the pre-war status quo.

Bitter, bitter disappointment. Not that we lost but the utter bonehead moments that contributed to the loss. We hadn't seen that in this version of the USMNT (beyond the last 30 seconds of the meaningless game against Turkey). But with higher stakes the same old team reappeared. Just not good enough

In the well-over 100,000 documents written by founders included in the Founders Online database from the National Archives, no one uses the phrase "God's noble experiment." No one.
Chuck Schumer: "The founding fathers called America God's noble experiment. I believe in all three words to this day: we are one nation under God, we have clung to noble ideals for longer than any other nation, and we are an experiment always changing, trying to make ourselves better.

Earlier this week, Intelligencer ran a piece called "ICE Won." We definitely don't agree with the title, but its gist—that the normalization of federal police violence is accelerating—is proving accurate. ICE arrests roughly doubled in Chicagoland in June over May. Some more thoughts on that:

This is the correct take. While imho he didn't mean it with the racial undertones (as someone who grew up in the South and heard it way too often, it's the inflection; that was more of a fratbro "boy") at some point what he meant in the moment doesn't matter. It was stupid and wrong to say.

OK, fine, SCOTUS's actual holding is that the default can't be that you ask the property owner before bringing a dangerous thing on their property, the default has to put the burden on the property owner, but again, an extremely odd claim about what the Founders wrote down.
