You might ask: when did these plaintiffs start their Diversity Visa journeys?
Answer: "The entry period for the DV-2026 Diversity Visa Program was between October 2, 2024 and November 7, 2024." Almost 2 years ago!
More than 20 million entries were submitted for the FY-26 selection. Interestingly, but not legally relevant at all, most of the 20 million entrants entered before a minority (49.8%) of US voters returned Trump to office on November 5, 2024 - 2 days before the entry period closed. /5

💬 What Trump and Melania were arguing about at the IndyCar race in Washington
Cameras captured what appeared to be a fairly tense exchange between Donald and Melania Trump during the Freedom 250. There was no audio from the presidential booth, so media outlet Metro turned to professional lip reader Nicola Hickling.
According to her interpretation, the conversation involved some kind of private message and an unidentified woman. Trump allegedly said he had “had enough of her,” while Melania replied that she would speak to the woman in the morning.
Importantly, this is not a confirmed transcript — it is an interpretation based on lip movements. Without audio, it is impossible to know for certain what they were discussing.
🚨#BREAKING: A man who was driving home from work, found an elderly woman was FACE DOWN in the middle of the road in a puddle..
...he pulled over, sprinted to her and helped her get up and likely saved her life
The man's name is Ryan Carter.
He was driving home from work in Martin County, Florida, when he saw something in the road that didn't look right.
It was an elderly woman. She'd hit a water-filled pothole with her walker and gone down face-first into it.
She was still strapped into the seat of her rolling walker. Face down. In the water.
Nobody else had stopped.
Ryan had recently taken a class on Florida's Good Samaritan law.
So before he touched her, he started recording on his glasses. Not for clout. To protect her, and to protect himself, so he could help her the right way.
Then he got down next to her and asked what she needed.
She couldn't move… and she still didn't want to be a burden to anybody. 💔
So he stayed calm, talked her through it, counted her down, and lifted her out from under her arms.
He got her seated. He pushed her away from the hole.
Then he told her he was going to get her a cup of water.
He drove her home himself.
Then he CALLED HER LATER to make sure she was okay.
"I saw somebody in a desperate situation, and I just wanted to be the hand that she could depend on."
When he got home, he mentioned it to his wife like it was nothing. She watched the footage and realized he hadn't just helped that woman... he may have saved her life.
GOD BLESS THIS RYAN CARTER, THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

التشكيلة الأولى لبرشلونة هذا الموسم.
هانسي فليك يبدأ الموسم بتشكيلة فيها الكثير من المفاجآت، والأوضح فيها الاعتماد على العناصر التي حصلت على فترة إعداد أكبر، مع وجود أسماء كبيرة على مقاعد البدلاء.
خوان غارسيا في المرمى، وأمامَه إسبارت، جيرارد مارتين، كريستنسن وإريك غارسيا.
وفي الوسط: مارك بيرنال، غافي وفيرمين لوبيز.
أما الهجوم: أديمي، رافينيا ولامين يامال.
أكثر ما يلفت النظر بالنسبة لي هو غياب بيدري وداني أولمو عن البداية، وعدم وجود مهاجم صريح، بينما رود��ي خارج القائمة لعدم جاهزيته بعد للظهور الأول. والقائمة الرسمية تؤكد وجود بيدري وأولمو ضمن خيارات فليك للمباراة.
أول 11 لفليك هذا الموسم.. ما رأيكم بالتشكيلة؟
I was planning to return him to the shelter on Monday. It’s hard to admit, but I had reached my limit. His name is Sarge, a 110-pound Pyrenees mix, and for three weeks he had been exhausting to handle. He didn’t destroy things or bark nonstop. He escaped. A six-foot fence didn’t stop him — he dug underneath. A locked gate didn’t matter — he figured out how to open it. Every day while I was at work, he would get out. Animal control kept finding him miles away, worn out, covered in dirt, sometimes limping. I couldn’t keep dealing with the fines or the constant stress. “He doesn’t want to be here,” I told my sister. “He just keeps running.” Saturday changed everything. I was home that morning when, around 10, he started pacing. Whining. Scratching at the door. This time, I let him out — but I followed him. I needed to know where he kept going. He didn’t head toward a park. He didn’t chase anything. He lowered his nose and moved forward with quiet determination, like he had a destination in mind. We walked a long way. Across a highway. Through thick brush that tore at my clothes. Eventually, he stopped at a cemetery. He slipped through a broken section of the fence, and I climbed over after him. I found him in the far corner — the part no one visits anymore. He was lying flat in front of a small, weathered headstone. Completely still. No panting. No restlessness. Just… there. I stepped closer and read the name. It belonged to an elderly man. That’s when it clicked. Why the shelter struggled to place him. Why he kept escaping. He wasn’t running away from me. He was going back to someone. For years, Sarge had been making that same journey. Rain, heat, cold — it didn’t matter. He had somewhere he needed to be. I sat down beside him in the dirt and rested my hand on his tangled fur. He let out a long, quiet sigh and leaned his heavy head against my leg. I’m not taking him back on Monday. Instead, I bought a strong harness and a long lead. If he needs to visit his person, he won’t have to do it alone anymore. We’ll go together. Every Saturday. He’s not trying to escape. He’s just that loyal. If you want to see Sarge now — how he’s doing, how he still makes those quiet Saturday visits — comment “Sarge” and I’ll show you his update.
