If someone had written a spy novel with these same details, the publisher would have probably said it was too unrealistic.

In Southern Illinois, ICE is a cold cancer; global health occupies a local school’s purview; DEI is a prophylactic priority; and some patients put the “guy” in “gynecology.” 

Prosecutors in Albany contend the incident involving the Trump-appointed attorney was a “random” street encounter. But the man never should have been on the streets in the first place.
