Bloomington police arrested 16 men this month in a sex sting called “Operation Creep”. The men are accused of trying to solicit a minor for sex.
Chief Booker Hodges says one of the men they arrested is an ICE employee: “When he was arrested, he said ‘I’m ICE, boys.’”

nytimes.com/2025/08/20/clima… via @NYTimes Cleanup of Hidden River Cave is not news to people in the area, but The New York Times tells a much wider audience. Pioneers called the cave a “hoss”, meaning a big one. The town that formed around it became Horse Cave, a nice place to visit.

Amazing story here by my colleagues @EmilyZFeng and @BobbyAllyn on how the US reversed its expected course and allowed sales of a high tech chip to China.
The timeline of events includes a $1 million per head dinner and a hobbled federal agency.
