Local news anchor, 42 years after the ad campaign: "Where's the beef? That's what one Philadelphia trucker is wondering after his rig was raided by conniving carnivores last night...."

Ground beef worth $40,000 stolen from tractor-trailer in Northeast Philly
While the driver was asleep, three men made off with four pallets of ground beef shortly before 3:45 a.m. Tuesday.

4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck. After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home. Then they threw his ID out of the truck.

It always has and will strike me that Hastert's crimes were so terrible that the blackmailer apparently never faced consequences, at least not public ones, and his name has never come out.

Disgraced former House Speaker Dennis Hastert dies at 84
The Illinois Republican, the longest-serving GOP speaker in U.S. history, was sentenced to 15 months in prison after leaving Congress for scheming to cover up child molestation accusations.

ICE is reportedly purging public records of detained migrants, effectively making people disappear digitally. This tactic, denounced by civil organizations, hides detainee numbers, isolates families, and obstructs legal recourse against expulsions.

The image is of a four panel comic. The title reads "Poltergeist".
In the first panel we see a woman with a worried expression on her face. She says, "stuff keeps moving around my house."
In the second panel the same woman says "I'm terrified. I can't sleep."
In the third panel we see a ghost holding a candle and a pillow that reads "live laugh love". The ghost is zooming through the house.
In the fourth panel we see the same ghost hanging up a frame and thinking, "home decor is my passion".

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...

In Texas, Something Seismic Is Happening—and It’s All Trump’s Fault
Thanks to the economy and ICE, Trump has lost Texas Latinos. And James Talarico is developing a humane pro-immigrant message that’s resonating—even in this ultra-Trumpy state.
