Armed and in uniform, federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security have been knocking on doors in several states to ask residents about their immigration status — and to inquire if they have registered to vote or cast votes in past elections, a CBS News Investigation has found. The operation is part of an effort to root out potential noncitizen voters ahead of the midterms. cbsn.ws/4eF7Zyv

INEOS record at Man United: actively try to replace Ten Hag. Give Ten Hag new contract. Sack Ten Hag. Appoint Amorim. Worst league finish in over 50 years. Sack Amorim. Appoint the interim. Set to sack the interim. The positions of those decision-makers should now be untenable.

One of KUMB's members had his trailer stolen from Canning Town in the early hours of the morning. It's a new business they recently started. It's pretty easy to spot - if you see it, please let us or the owner know. His Insta details may be seen below. TIA for any assistance.

It's not rocket science to figure out why paedos gravitated to the BBC. Prestigious employer, gave them power, particularly gave them access to youth culture. So to do Jenrick's parallel properly, I'd love to know why he thinks this lot were attracted to Reform UK?
🚨NEW: Robert Jenrick speaking to the BBC on Radio 4: "Can you now give a guarantee to your listeners this morning that no BBC presenter in the future will be exposed as a paedophile as a number have been in the recent past?"

bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/ar… I feel so sorry for Beth Dobbin, and of course the millions of others like her. Reading her story, made me remember that deterioration in my running was the first thing I noticed in 1989, the first thing that ‘went’. I hope she can get her life back.

“Elon Musk approached Donald Trump with the idea of slowing down Starlink in Ukraine, The Telegraph can reveal. The billionaire tech entrepreneur approached the US president with the proposal to introduce speed limits on the system, which hampered Ukraine’s drone defences, according to four sources familiar with the discussions. One of the sources said Mr Trump “agreed” with Mr Musk’s suggestion, paving the way for the Pentagon to execute the slowdown on Starshield, the military-grade version of the satellite communications system.

To be clear: Some facts are neither in dispute nor unclear. Our photographer was clearly marked as Press. She was clearly beaten. These are not partisan or risible statements, but indisputable. We urge a thorough investigation and accountability.
The Prime Minister’s Office: The facts surrounding the confrontation near Abu Falah, during which Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine was allegedly assaulted, remain unclear and are under investigation. Israel unequivocally condemns violence against anyone—Jews, Arabs, Christians or journalists. Those responsible will be held accountable. But serious questions remain. Reports indicate some 200 Arabs and far-left activists confronted approximately 40 Israeli youths. Footage shows masked individuals on both sides hurling objects, amid reports of fireworks fired at Jewish youths. Other footage appears to show Levine knocked down and immediately helped to her feet by the same unidentified individual. The investigation must establish the facts, including who initiated the violence. We will not allow disputed incidents to be exploited to demonize the hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria. The facts must determine the conclusions. Not the headlines.
