Maybe now she'll think twice next time she's about to vote to release the Epstein files

    "In fact, two law enforcement officers were seriously injured by this mob"

    Shame the number wasn't higher.

    Looks like my dad chose the right week to die in Tucson. You've got nothing on this, Lloyd Bridges!

    I'm going to make two points here. First, "Goons" is a loaded word. I don't disagree with the usage, but U.S. News is intended to be more balanced.

    In what Arizona’s attorney general slammed ...

    You're not in a 1-col here. "Slam" is not a verb called for in modern journalism. What are we going to do next? Eye? Mull? Reference Solons?

    Latest slang for goon has absolutely ruined the word for me. Can't think of it in the prior way anymore.

    A decent portion of ICE are probably incel gooners anyway. The position's power makes them feel like they're not as pitiful and utterly useless as they actually are. The overlap with the is damn near a circle for all of these shitty groups.
