BREAKING: Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald announced charges against five defendants in Operation Ghostbusters, a DOJ probe into a large-scale federal student loan fraud scheme. Authorities also seized more than $750,000 in cryptocurrency allegedly tied to the scheme and laundered through a network associated with Kenyan nationals.
Six officers come in hot and over confident -- to remove an auditor from a public building -- instead they shuffle out disappointed and looking down at the floor.
Long Island Audit (Sean Paul Reyes) was conducting a First Amendment audit inside the Ramapo Town Hall in Ramapo, New York—a public, taxpayer-funded building. He was filming in publicly accessible areas and preparing to file a FOIA request.
Town Hall staff confronted him, insisted filming was not allowed, and called the Ramapo Police Department.
Roughly 8–10 officers responded.
Female Officer Winter approached, began by giving him orders to retreat, claimed she had authority over him, ordered him to leave the building, and participated in efforts to detain him and demanded ID.
Sergeant Mayer and others backed the same aggressive approach.
Officers never clearly articulated a crime or reasonable suspicion.
Reyes repeatedly asked what crime they suspected and whether he was detained, stayed calm, and asserted his right to film and conduct public business in a public building.
The large response of officers for one man with a camera eventually stood down — and took what he called a “walk of shame.”
He later filed a formal complaint at Ramapo PD headquarters.
Outcome: no arrest, no charges, complaint filed against the sergeant and officers involved.
❓How would you describe Winter’s attitude and body language in that hallway?
❓How much of Winter’s attitude was training versus personality?
❓What part of the response felt most unnecessary to you, the number of officers or the aggressive attitude?
Nick Cannon says he initiated the divorce from Mariah Carey because he felt like “Mr. Mariah Carey,” citing their massive wealth and fame gap and admitting he didn’t fully think things through before marrying her. 👀🤔
🇺🇸 The moon rising over a lighthouse in Maine looks straight out of a movie poster
A timelapse caught the almost full moon glowing orange as it slowly climbed up behind the lighthouse.
It's so perfect, it's hard to believe this isn't someone's phone wallpaper.
Whoever picked that spot to film it knew exactly what they were doing.

🇺🇸 Is Texas actually in play? Ken Paxton is holding only 88% of Texas Republicans while James Talarico is pulling around 99% of Democrats
That gap, plus independents breaking left, is how a state Trump carried easily turns into a real Senate fight, and Republican strategist Garrett Fulce says the whole national map hangs on a margin that thin:
“The difference between losing two seats and losing 7 or 8 seats is like 1 or 2 points in the generic ballot.”
Garrett says the hardest MAGA voters always wore the “no foreign wars” hat, and the Iran war is the reason they now give for turning on a president they once thought could do no wrong.
Deportation sweeps in big cities are hurting too, even as border towns cheer that the caravans stopped.
If Democrats take both chambers, he expects two years of subpoenas and hearings, and they could even force a vote on cutting off war money, so the fight over Iran moves from the Gulf to the House floor.
