THIS IS NOT CONSTITUTIONAL.
They cannot commandeer state and local law enforcement because they want to.
THIS IS NOT LAWFUL.
They cannot use federalized guard or military personnel for civilian law enforcement absent rebellion and insurrection.

Comer: "We're gonna support doing this in other cities if it works out in Washington DC. We spend a lot on our military. Our military has been in many countries around the world for the past two decades walking the streets trying to reduce crime. We need to focus on the big cities in America now."

Kinda wild how real estate/finance business moguls are raging against @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for NYC Mayor because he campaigned on free buses and grocery stores in food deserts, but those are the same people loudly supporting Trump as he actually and INTENTIONALLY torches the economy.
Breaking News: President Trump announced new 30% tariffs on imports from Mexico and the EU, dashing hopes for deals. The tariffs would begin on August 1. Follow live updates.

Further confirmation from ICE HSI officers that they have been told to stop investigating pedophiles, human traffickers, and drug smugglers.
Officers have been told NOT to take new criminal cases so they can instead go round up more random migrants. Morale is plummeting, especially at HSI.

So a salmon fell from the sky before the #Mariners Fourth of July game at T-Mobile Park.
And there's video.
More here, including details from Rick Rizzs, who saw the whole thing and shared the story during the second inning today on Seattle Sports.

Salmon falls from sky before Seattle Mariners' July 4 game
In the hours before the Seattle Mariners took on the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 4, something fell from the sky: a salmon. And there's video.

$45 billion for ethnic cleansing
It’s one thing to say they want to deport 20 million people, it’s even one thing to go nuts brazenly doing whatever you can as the executive branch to make it happen, but the fact that they’re going to give ICE an additional 45B shows how committed they are to seeing this through.

Health insurance is a zero sum game. If there are huge cuts to Medicaid, hospitals will have to renegotiate private insurance rates. Everyone’s healthcare insurance rates will be increasing. #inflation

Caitlin Clark has been ruled out for tonight in Dallas — a game moved to American Airlines Center.
She's dealing with a left groin injury. It'll be her 7th game missed this season.

One of the things mentioned here is that they arrived in unmarked cars and wore casual clothing, so if staff hadn’t had the courage to tell them to go away, how would you know they were federal agents and not random adult men abducting children? This should be the biggest conservative mom panic ever
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
