Martin O'Malley Confronted Ken Cuccinelli at a Bar

Martin O'Malley Confronted Ken Cuccinelli at a Bar

A liberal ex-governor walks into a bar, followed by a conservative Trump administration official. Instead of a punchline, what followed, one witness said, was a "shame-invoking tirade" by Martin O'Malley, the former Democratic governor of Maryland, directed at Ken Cuccinelli II, the former Virginia attorney general who is acting deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. ... "We all let him know how we felt about him putting refugee immigrant kids in cages - certainly not what we were taught by the Jesuits at Gonzaga," O'Malley texted. In another text, he called Cuccinelli "the son of immigrant grandparents who cages children for a fascist president."

Everlast Hires Trans Boxer as Spokesperson

Everlast Hires Trans Boxer as Spokesperson

The most well-known brand in the sport of boxing, Everlast, has hired the first professional trans boxer to be a face of the company in their new "Be First" campaign. Patricio Manuel is a five time USA female national amateur boxing champ. In December 2018 he became the first trans boxer to have a pro fight and the first transgender boxer to win a pro fight. When asked about Everlast, Manuel said "they were very earnest. They said, We think your story is important because it represents the diversity of boxing.' And I think that's something people aren't aware of unless you're involved in the sport itself: people think about the big fights, but they don't think about the community and the people that really make up this sport, and it is incredibly diverse ... Everlast wanted to showcase that."

200,000 Guns Cross from U.S. to Mexico Each Year

200,000 Guns Cross from U.S. to Mexico Each Year

"A lot of the violence in the U.S. is because of the drugs going in from Mexico, and a lot of the violence in Mexico is because of the guns coming from the U.S.," one high-ranking former Mexican intelligence official told Fox News, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "Many of the cartels in Mexico are being paid by counterparts in the U.S. not only with money but with guns." Some estimates - including a recent study published in Oxford's Journal of Economic Geography - have pegged the number of guns crossing the U.S-Mexico border at over 200,000 annually.

Ex-Navy Secretary: Trump Doesn't Understand Rules

Ex-Navy Secretary: Trump Doesn't Understand Rules

Richard Spencer, Washington Post: The case of Chief Petty Officer Edward Gallagher, a Navy SEAL who was charged with multiple war crimes before being convicted of a single lesser charge earlier this year, was troubling enough before things became even more troubling over the past few weeks. The trail of events that led to me being fired as secretary of the Navy is marked with lessons for me and for the nation. ... the president has very little understanding of what it means to be in the military, to fight ethically or to be governed by a uniform set of rules and practices.
