"Her teenage son watched her suffer for days after she took the pills, bedridden and moaning. In the early hours of Nov. 12, 2022, her husband found her unresponsive in bed, her 3-year-old daughter at her side...

Public support for unions is near a 50-year high. And unions are mobilizing across industries, from autoworkers to violinists to cannabis drivers.

Whatโ€™s fueling this new wave of organizing? Job insecurity and lagging wages.

โ€œWhen the defendant lost the 2020 presidential election, he resorted to crimes to try to stay in office.โ€

โ€œPrivately, the defendant told advisorsโ€”including [P6] Campaign personnel, [P7] (a White House staffer and Campaign volunteer), and [P8] (the Vice President's Chief of Staff)โ€”that in such a scenario, he would simply declare victory before all the ballots were counted and any winner was projected. Publicly, the defendant began to plant the seeds for that

These extremely online young Christian men want to end the 19th Amendment, restore public flogging, and make America white again.

Six years ago today, Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was brutally murdered by Saudi government agents at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

His body was dismembered and disposed of.

Itโ€™s time for Biden to declassify Khashoggi intelligence.
