This is exactly what ICE said: "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Now watch the video. They're no other word for it: They're lying.

This is it people. The average ocean temperature in the Nino 3.4 region of the Pacific Ocean is now 29.822C. The previous record was 29.815C in 2015, 2 months later than today's date. That means the heating isn't done yet.

The 2024 version ended with Trump’s campaign logo and a number to text. The new version ends with: “Paid for by the U.S. Government.”

We found some more fraud, waste, and abuse. The third government-funded Trump ad has been identified by AdImpact in recent days. The latest ad is nearly identical to a video Trump posted during his 2024 presidential campaign. It shows him walking down a hallway declaring, “This is the final battle.”

Whatley has received some ‘truthing’ from NC media for his ads. Now Cooper calmly skewers Whatley’s lies uses those reports. The ad is concise, clear & close enough to the election for voters with short memories. Ends flashing images of “and also these”. IOW, all these ads are lies & any new ones. 👍

substack.comJudd Legum (@juddlegum)Instead of just ignoring GOP’s dishonest attacks in North Carolina, Cooper debunks them in a new ad. Pretty effective, IMO.

The FBI was also investigating whether those donations were connected to Collins helping the company secure millions in federal defense contracts. Collins denies any wrongdoing, and no one in her office has been charged. The broader bribery investigation was never completed.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵
