Marine Le Pen is in a strong position to win the French presidential race next spring, unlike anything we've ever seen in past election cycles. Today, she's up 14% & up 38% in a poll against 2 candidates who are, seemingly at this stage, her most likely runoff opponents. www.rtl.fr/actu/politiq...

Sarah Stevens co-sponsored the infamous 2013 North Carolina law that courts said was designed with “surgical precision” to exclude Black voters. She backed GOP gerrymanders. Chaired the House elections committee when NCGOP advanced its latest voting restrictions. Now? Running for Supreme Court.

The spy story should have obviously been for Emma and Josslyn should have a coming out story. Much like the Erica and Bianca of it all, Carly is selfish and man centered. Having to contend with a daughter who is no longer to men would cause a seismic shift in that family.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.
As a Black Hawk helicopter roared overhead, the slender, 28-year-old immigrant from Venezuela answered softly, his eyes darting to a television crew invited to film the raid. Next to Caicedo, masked Border Patrol agents inspected another man’s tattoos and asked him if he belonged to Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang that the Trump administration has designated a terrorist group.

Until that moment, Caicedo’s only interaction with law enforcement in his two-and-a-half years in the United States had been a traffic stop two weeks earlier for driving without a license or insurance, according to the records we reviewed. Chicago police had run a background check on him and found no prior arrests, no warrants and no evidence that he was in a gang. Caicedo said he had a pending asylum application, a steady job at a taco joint and a girlfriend whose daughter attended elementary school across the street. 

None of that mattered. The U.S. government paraded him and his neighbors in front of the cameras and called their arrests a spectacular victory against terrorism. But later, after the cameras had gone, prosecutors didn’t charge Caicedo with a crime. They didn’t accuse him of being a terrorist. And after a brief hearing in immigration court, the government sent him back to the country he had fled nine years earlier.

“I lost everything,” he said in a phone interview from his mother’s home in the Venezuelan city of Valencia. “For those fools, everyone from Venezuela is a criminal.”
