More reasons to miss her already. “In 2015, Keaton launched The Keaton, an affordable red wine blend intended to be served over ice—just the way she always drank it. “It’s not fancy,” she said of the wine. “But neither am I.””

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi. David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison. Here's their story.

Noooo!!!! Not Diane Keaton. Rest in Peace. You will always be a legend. 😭

FACT CHECK: Donald Trump’s trade war is crushing soybean farmers. Full stop. Republicans like Bessent down to TN’s Rep. Rusty Grills sound delusional blaming Biden. That math ain’t mathin’! Soybean sales to China under Biden last year: $13B Soybean sales to China under Trump this year: $0

President Donald Trump claimed Democrats forced the government shutdown fight because they want to give free health care to immigrants in the U.S. illegally. This is not accurate.

Maybe high egg prices weren’t the worst thing that could happen?

Loosely based on The Weathermen, but based on a novel/fiction. Worth seeing. youtube.com/watch?v=kQUP...

At a minimum, even though this whole idea seems pretty uncalled for, those being called so far are required to have law enforcement experience But if that pulls them from regular responsibilities, its counterproductive www.opb.org/article/2025...

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.
