Northern Ireland man from Lisburn kidnapped by Trump’s Ice raids because he “looked like a Mexican”. He had the correct visa, all his documents. He’s never been in trouble with police. Held in terrible conditions. A fellow captive couldn’t get his medication and dropped dead of a heart attack

the greatest part about this is they're not claiming someone photoshopped the document, they're saying 22 years ago--among a collection of other famous people's letters-- someone forged his signature as if we're living in the 1960's

NEW POLL: The poll found that 46 percent of likely voters currently planned to choose Mr. Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, in a four-way race for NYC mayor. His support spans racial and ethnic groups but is especially strong among young and highly educated voters.

The ghoulish fixation on preexisting conditions and starving children in Gaza is bizarre. In all modern conflicts the death toll is measured in excess deaths. This is something I wrote about Congo's civil war almost 20 years ago:

This is amazing. Yesterday Trump claimed he talked to his uncle about how brilliant the Unabomber was when the Unabomber was a student of his at MIT. The Unabomber never went to MIT, he was identified in 1996, and his uncle died in 1985.
