๐จ DOGFIGHTING RING BUSTED IN EAST TEXAS ๐จ
Newton County deputies say 45 people were arrested and more than $73,000 was seized after an overnight raid on a dogfighting operation off FM 1004.
According to the sheriffโs office, deputies served a warrant around 9:50 p.m. Saturday and walked into an active dogfight happening inside a pit built specifically for it. Most of the people on scene tried to run into the woods, but officers used heat-sensing drone technology to track them down.
๐ถ Two dogs were pulled from the fighting pit and rushed to an emergency vet.
Authorities say they also towed around 40 vehicles, many of which had drugs, guns, and cash inside. The investigation โ called โOperation Pitbullโ โ has been underway since March after multiple tips about dogfighting in the area.
๐ Gay marriage is here to stay: The Supreme Court on Monday declined an opportunity to overturn its landmark precedent recognizing a constitutional right to same-sex marriage.

Instead, the court denied an appeal from Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk who now faces hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages and legal fees for refusing to issue marriage licenses after the courtโs decision in Obergefell v. Hodges allowed same-sex couples to marry.
We honor the legacy of Former First Lady of Aggieland, Reveille IX, who passed away this weekend. We are deeply grateful for her years at Texas A&M, where she exemplified our core values of leadership, loyalty, respect and selfless service. Her lasting presence and spirit brought the Aggie community together and made an incredible impact on our campus.
Rest in peace, #MissRev.
