Happening now- the Broadview, IL ICE facility: a few dozen people have gathered here over the bizarre situation re: a US citizen who was allegedly detained by federal immigration agents, only for agents to reportedly say she wasn't there.

Cook County Commissioner Kevin Morrison on scene as well.

Judging from the prose, the Pentagon appears to be using AI to announce the death of soldiers. If it’s not AI, it’s a person who simply does not care.

Missourians on probation and parole can’t vote. Their rights might be restored The House has approved legislation that would allow the more than 53,000 people supervised by the state to vote.

Wow, a huge bipartisan coalition passed a bill in the Missouri House to allow anyone who is not presently incarcerated to vote.

More than half the states allow this, but Democrats have led this in the last decade. Haven't seen a GOP-led chamber pass this in that time. Big deal.

This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Even this is likely an under estimate and of course, and just the US’s cost. The cost of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi people killed or disable during the invasion and occupation are incalculable.

This estimate has already doubled in a couple days.

Just a reminder that 23 years ago W’s initial estimate for the cost of the Iraq war ended up being off by at least 30x so…
