Body camera footage shows nine members of a U.S. Marshals Service task force falling to the ground as a second-story wooden deck they were standing on suddenly collapses.
The Wyoming Freedom Caucus getting trounced in state-level races ought to get some attention from outside the area, especially when coupled with Trump's pick for governor losing. @jvl.bsky.social @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social @peterbakernyt.bsky.social
The caucus will likely have only 10 reliable votes in the House come January, with two more possible lawmakers that often vote in line with the group. That represents a dramatic fall for a caucus that once boasted a clear majority in the lower chamber. #wyomingelections #freedomcaucus #wyomingnews
I shall now honor my multi-century French-Canadian heritage by looking askance toward Ontario.
Everyone is either picking on Muslims to denounce Hamas/9/11 or Jews to denounce Israel. Thinking of becoming a new Type of Gal and harassing Scots and people of Scottish ancestry to denounce border reiving.

Luke Bracey says he was "liberated" while creating his version of Charles "Pa" Ingalls in Netflix's "Little House on the Prairie." #LukeBracey #LittleHouseonthePrairie
"I just need you to find me the 11,000 votes."
Trump called Infantino on Wednesday to get Balogun's red card lifted. Nice to ride alon with Tyler Pager on what will be seen (and is) in many parts as one of the biggest scandals in World Cup history. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/u...
I've seen too many videos of catastrophes at air shows to be comfortable with this current display.
Just go ahead and award the Pulitzer for photography.
A single black woman surrounded by hooded white supremacists is certainly a chilling image.
Well, people, now when you're watching the Weather Channel and they talk about Cape Verde hurricanes, YOU WILL KNOW.
The AP doing some top-flight SEO work with that first word, given the rumors of today's event and the number of people likely searching for info on it.
Swiftly marching toward westward expansion, the United States in the 1800s brought with it a tidal wave of displacement and cultural suppression for Native Americans. So with America’s 250th birthday come mixed emotions rooted in pain, pride and even patriotism. @ict-news.bsky.social
Because of him, every time I'm more than a smidge above ground level, I start singing, "High Ang-ziiiii-ety!"
Happy 100th birthday to Mel Brooks! Because of him, every time I'm in some awkward situation I have to think "And now, for my next impression: Jesse Owens!"
The current Nats are going to break me of the well-earned recent habit of turning off the game as soon as they fall behind.
Paying $14M to NOT fix the reflecting pool is like if you started a war that made things worse.
Stress over Iran "deal," party/UFC extravaganza, then getting right on a plane to the G7 meeting? Birthday Boy is going to be pretty tired and cranky tomorrow.
