Not everything that is faced can be changed,

I like the idea of a #PurpleCaucus made up of senators and representatives declaring themselves:

Independents

Even a small number, working together, could shift votes and make both right and left come toward the center.

Their platform would be to promote what the majority of Americans want.

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

We’re a few days away from the DHS funding deadline, which means Democrats have real leverage to stop the regime’s secret police.

Demand that Democrats refuse to fund DHS without ironclad limits on ICE and CBP, actual accountability for abuses, and clear guardrails to stop raids and intimidation.

Communities in OK, MS, VA, and MN have stopped warehouse sales to ICE.

You can, too:

✅ Go to city council meetings & SPEAK UP during open comment
✅ Call your state delegates — local + state pressure is our best bet. The Fed Gov won’t save us.
✅ Register to vote now. The 2026 midterms are coming.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

With everything our country is facing right now, Trump's continued obsession with interfering in elections is dangerous and cannot be ignored.

Trump knows his Administration is failing the American people, and he knows Republicans would lose if they had to compete in a fair election tomorrow.

During WWII, Gen. Patton didn't like the way Stars and Stripes cartoonist Bill Mauldin drew Willie and Joe as scruffy, unkempt characters.

He wanted to ban the cartoon from the newspaper, but Gen. Eisenhower intervened. It's the "soldier's paper," he said. "Leave it be."

These farm workers are preparing for the strawberry harvest. They're weeding & removing the runners (leafless stems) that can steal nutrients from the plants. This step will also make it easier for workers to move efficiently and harvest more during the harvest season. #WeFeedYou
