Get The FUCK out and don't ever come back Greg
Federal immigration agents part of the Trump administration’s “Operation Midway Blitz” may soon leave Chicago, according to multiple sources who said the controversial mission was rapidly winding down after a contentious two months of enforcement raids that have set the city and suburbs on edge.
Federal Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino and agents said to be leaving Chicago, sources say
Cmdr. Gregory Bovino was expected to depart Chicago within days, while most Border Patrol agents under this command would soon be redeployed elsewhere, three sources told the Tribune Monday.

Seems like a good idea, something @katmabu.bsky.social and the good people of her campaign would be down to organize?
If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

My bottom line on the Maine senate primary is that I think it is very helpful to have a serious contested primary with each candidate staying in the race pulling no punches on everything that Republicans would use in a general, and let MAINE

admit you were wrong just once, obama legacy guys!
Seriously, why are you insulting people's intelligence like this. There is very obviously a massive excluded middle between "bland Ivy League corporate automaton" and "still has large Nazi tattoo." There's nothing wrong with having found him appealing. He was! But it's over and this is silly

The fact that you think "reported by a journalist" means anything is sufficient for me to understand you don't know what you're talking about and are quite possibly stupid.

twitter is making mainstream reporters dumber, and because they're all getting dumber together, none of them can recognize it and they actually think they're getting smarter
