#LGM Definitely impressed with Robert Stock's performance today. He got clobbered last time out, but really pitched a great game today.

#LGM #Mets Did y'all hear that tepid crowd response when they played the "CHARGE!" music? At least on TV it sounded like three people yelled "charge"in the entire stadium. Sorry Cleveland, y'all got NOTHING on Mets fans.

You might have to consider the possibility that Trump lied. I know, hard to believe that might be case.

The reporting on this incident is precisely why we NEED a free press and not just stenographers who will ape the talking points that electeds spew forth from their pie holes.
Juan Proaño on the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo:
There were three others with him in that vehicle. Those individuals are now being pressured to sign self-deportation orders. They’re trying to get rid of them as witnesses as well.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent.
There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off.

6 months ago, I predicted that the biggest bailout in corporate history was going to be Nadella, Altman, and Dario Amodei,,, and that it would be dressed up as investment/growth.
It's a bailout.

As ICE agents kill more people, it's worth remembering that, according to former members of the agency, this kind of violence isn't a fluke; it's "by design" under Trump.
“They’re essentially operating now in a resource constraint-free environment and doing very dangerous things."

Former members of ICE say recent violence is "by design"
"What has changed is there has been an encouragement from the top to be much more aggressive in enforcement."

KEY: all three witnesses are being detained apart, and their story is consistent. They say that there were agents along the side of the vehicle but none in front.
When you add the videos showing a lack of evidence of damage to the front despite ICE's ramming claim, ICE's story is falling apart.
