SAN DIEGO — A Brooklyn man was convicted of robbing a matzah factory. He was sentenced to eight years in Unleavenworth.
Donald Trump denied charges that he had read Mein Kampf or plagiarized from Hitler when he declared that migrants were poisoning the blood of the United States. He reminded his MAGA followers that he has never read such a long book without pictures and that “hate minds think alike.”

Governor Abbott signed a law criminalizing the illegal entry of migrants and pro-choice proponents into Texas.
