Sometimes I forget I’m not young anymore. I coached soccer, was a Scout den leader, & a religious Ed teacher. I enjoy family time & love watching my grandkids play sports. I believe people should help one another. I was called chatterbox as a kid. No chats

🚨NEW by me: New ICE facility for unaccompanied migrant kids is about to open in Louisiana. While ICE is sanitizing optics, calling it the "Alexandria Family Staging Center," lawmakers and child advocates are raising the roof warning of child trafficking risks. www.thequeenzone.com/new-ice-faci...

A group of interfaith leaders in California is marching 96 miles from an ICE processing center in the Mojave Desert to Downtown L.A. to protest ICE and demand a shutdown of "all detention centers."

Jack Smith smiling at a concert. It was said he was congenial and happy to be with the crowd. I have never seen him smile.

As Pierre Damas Bel’s father watched his firstborn’s casket being lowered into a grave, President Trump was preparing to speak 25 miles away. The two events offered starkly different visions of how Trump’s immigration crackdown is affecting America.

As Trump rallies his base in Ohio, a Haitian migrant is laid to rest nearby
Mourners in Springfield, Ohio, blamed Pierre Damas Bel’s death on President Donald Trump’s deportation campaign. Trump’s supporters said ICE needs to do more.

Is Trump publishing a Senator's private phone number over a disagreement supposed to be "leadership"? He’s acting like a fucking troll. What is wrong with DC Republicans? Why aren't they stopping this—do they really think they won't be next?

High prices and rising borrowing costs are squeezing family budgets, forcing more Americans to cut back on things like bowling and dining out. For many families, fun is becoming increasingly out of reach. This is Donald Trump’s economy.

The subjugation of women is part of a neo-fascist, warrior culture going all the way back to the 1930s. It was on full display during Pete Hegseth’s military speech this week.

The White House is coordinating with the Justice Department to hide its abortion agenda from voters until after they've voted in order to try to influence the results of the election.

I’ve known many other defense secretaries, starting with Cap Weinberger, who served as defense secretary under Reagan. I can say without fear of contradiction that Pete Hegseth is the stupidest and least qualified of them all. He is a danger to the entire world. He must be impeached.

On the same day Trump announces that top tech firms have signed an accord to "self-police" their own AI development, we learned that OpenAI employees and security researchers were reportedly ignored when they brought safety concerns to the company's top executives. See the problem here?

OpenAI Ignored Employees’ Warnings About Safely Testing A.I. Models
Employees and security researchers said that they had cautioned the company on safely testing its A.I. models and strengthening its corporate infrastructure, but that OpenAI did not listen.
