NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — Suzanne Davenport still wears a memorial bracelet and has a green ribbon with a "Be Kind" magnet on her car to honor the 26 children and educators killed at the local elementary school. A resident of Newtown's Sandy Hook section, she knew some of the victims, and she knows survivors. But like many of her neighbors, Davenport avoids telling strangers she is from Newtown. "I was recently at a wedding shower, and a woman saw my bracelet and said, 'Oh, you're from Sandy Hook?" Davenport said.

    The Daily Dot, Friday - 05/31/2024 - 11:27 AM

    After Justice Samuel Alito was caught with not one but two flags signaling alliance with Donald Trump’s attempted coup, Alito responded like any MAGA acolyte would: by denying the obvious and playing the victim. In this case, he blamed his neighbors and his wife and ridiculously claimed he is “duty-bound” not to succumb to “political” calls for him to recuse himself from Jan.

  • 'We've Gone Over A Cliff!': Fox News’ Pirro Not Taking Trump Guilty Verdict Well
    The Daily Dot, Friday - 05/31/2024 - 06:53 AM

    The news that Trump was convicted on all 34 counts in New York went over about the way we expected it would on Fox "news." Shannon Bream asked Judge Box-O-Wine to weigh in shortly after the verdicts were read, and Pirro made it clear she was none too happy with the jurors, the judge, and DA and our entire judicial system during her unhinged rant about the United States going "over a cliff." BREAM: But what that leaves is this White House, the Biden -Harris campaign, free now to call president Trump a convicted felon.
