Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

Coco Gauff wins 4-6, 7⁷-6⁴, 6-2 against Belinda Bencic This was a fun match but it completely turned after Bencic was a set and *4-3 up and then complained about Coco's team cheering when she went to serve, that was definitely the turning point and it clinches Coco into Riyadh. 📸 Jimmie48/WTA Tour

I hate when some people try to prove a point. Like no, ya missed the mark. Again.

Oh???

UPDATE: The man ICE violently arrested has been identified as Job Arias-Mendoza. Two weeks ago he published a video to his social media accounts of ICE handcuffing a man in front of a liquor store—it has more than 200,000 views on TikTok. streetcarsuburbs.news/arias-mendoz...

For some context, we could have made the monthly child tax credit that cut child poverty by 40% permanent for $100 billion a year. The return on investment would have been $15 per $1.

My night was good. How was yours?

This is what one flavor of success tastes like: The Map Center is a lightning rod of fascinating, talented people and a crossroads for beautiful nerds.

Your health care bill is about to explode. The notices will start arriving next month. A $7,000 bill could jump to $24,000. Democrats are fighting to stop this. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs go up. We need to fix this. Now.

Not even 20 minutes later and I guess we’re doing 50% tariffs on IKEA for some reason. He’s a man with a plan to make life more expensive and he can’t be stopped.

The Fitzmas guy? Who prosecuted Scooter Libby? That Patrick Fitzgerald? Nice callback to the earlier season

Another headline that I had to read multiple times because I didn’t think it was right

This is huge: “A drug that provides near-perfect protection against H.I.V. with shots just twice a year will be made available at $40 per patient annually in low- and middle-income countries, offering new hope… making lenacapavir a realistic choice in countries with constrained resources.”

Realizing at this moment in time that we’re so f’d.

Canelo was put on time out for the first time today at doggie daycare for wrestling too hard with his frenemy, Moochie, and causing a ruckus. Moochie and Canelo swapped being on time out. I got there to pick him up and he was segregated from gen pop! 😂☠️ he has no comment about today’s events.

my issue with Evan Ross Katz is that i feel like i could be more gay and even more annoying if i was him

“Give her fist pumps everytime you see her.” -Jake trying to fake out Nicole in voting her out. It’s giving every tennis coach who has to show up for their player.

Even in the middle of a challenge, the #Survivor49 cast is deeply unserious

Kristina Mills will not be the first person voted out of #Survivor

Stud.

So before the #Survivor49 Immunity Challenge, Jeff asked @DaltonRoss and me to each give him a word to put in his challenge commentary. He picked "stupendous." I picked "behemoth" The results...

Honestly? Seeing Mets fans crash out on the TL makes me feel better about my crash outs. In solidarity. -Red Sox fan.

Ok China Open.

from the beginning of the Romanov dynasty roughly every other tsar was... as okay as was possible and all of the other ones were the dumbest people alive. Catherine the Great was followed by Paul, a Prussian fetishist who hated his mother. Nicholas I was followed by Alexander II, who was okay!

the concept of joseph abdin, brando meyer, blue kim, cedric hodges, and zach cornell in the same room together... #bb27 #tar38 #survivor

This was a great exchange as well 😂 #Survivor49

Between Nicole's general reaction, Jeremiah's comment about couples looking alike, and Jake accidentally scissoring, this sequence took me out #Survivor49

Please tell me this is not real.

Survivor got money. These cameras filming in 4k!

Idk I feel like survivor needs more normies. Why everybody gotta be quirky nerds lol (I’m 5 mins in)

A father’s grief, a nation’s fight A Ukrainian father mourns his son, killed by Russian aggression. Behind every headline is a family shattered, a life stolen. Ukrainians are paying the highest price for their freedom.👇

need an account like the one that tracks the first time a word is used in the NYT but for #Survivor… Project M mention was NOT on my bingo card

He’s a lawyer. 🤫

Damn, don’t let Alex see this. 😭😅

Not the meat shield being a chaotic villain…

#Survivor49 -One of the biggest presences on his tribe -Tells a personal story to his tight allies Night 1 -Steals people’s footwear Is Jake Canadian Hantz?

“The other shoe? It matches that one?” Gurl… #Survivor49

Vibes are so bad Alex…. Come on…

wasn't banking on jake being the first person called mother on this season #survivor

Dig deeper dude…

If you aren't aware of the Autism Self-Advocacy Network, now is a good time to become acquainted with their years of work. The idea that autistics have a voice in discussions about them is something we all need to embrace. Please share: autisticadvocacy.org/2025/09/asan...

President Pritzker, folks. Say it with me. He is Trump's kryptonite.

“I look over at Rizo and he’s struggling.” 👀🤭
