It seems like this shouldn’t be possible in a legal system in which principles of estoppel are pervasive.

Is it bad if a sitting federal judge was (allegedly) part of a conspiracy to commit murder? It seems bad ....

“Let me tell you, safety first, little buddy. Matches are for grown-ups to use carefully. Here’s how they do it,” Kumma began, before listing the steps. “Blow it out when done. Puff, like a birthday candle.” And I'm not even gonna pull quote the sex stuff.

“Dreamers by the hundreds of thousands gave the govt their personal info in exchange for a promise they would not be deported.” but congress never acted & now the regime is targeting the DACA recipients who only trusted the government

It was announced on October 16, 2025 that VIBE was "joining forces" with Rolling Stone. As a result, the majority of VIBE employees were laid off. If you have the means to give, this team could use the support! www.gofundme.com/f/support-vi...

The California National Guard is leaving Oregon. But the feds are still trying to mobilize Oregon National Guard troops in Portland... because it's apparently still a war zone or something www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

These Epstein survivors are showing photos of themselves as children. Not “barely legal” women. Not “junior” women. Not women capable of consent. Children. Who were raped & trafficked and who deserve justice.

Anchored by high-pitched whistles, the group began to gather at 7 p.m. on Sunday evening following the second day of Border Patrol arrests.

Another stupid night at ICE! All the same fash as last night and then some. “Patriot weekend” was nothing but a boot lickingly desperate attempt to cling onto their views, stream donations & salivate at the possibility of assaulting people. Almost all of them were live streaming lol.

As Bovino and masked DHS officers sweep another Home Depot looking to round up day laborers, a reminder of the meeting in May when Stephen Miller screamed at ICE to stop doing targeted enforcement, start hitting Home Depots and 7/11s and “just go out there and arrest illegal aliens.”

Tarrio & the Proud Boys will be back on their bullshit at the PDX ICE protest again tonight. Part of the draw for him, apparently, has been to try to share some of the limelight of this new MAGA celebrity, serial harasser Tommy Allen, whose schtick is being a constant bigot through a bullhorn.
