Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

Never forget that the only country in NATO history which triggered NATO article 5 is USA after a bunch of Arab terrorists took down some buildings in New York.
Now when Europe is in existential threat by former Soviets, the USA is throwing us bones and expecting gratitude.
EU need to step up.

Someone shares a delicious take on green bean casserole...
White people in the comments:
"Too much seasoning. All you need is salt and pepper."
"It should be drier than that."
"Why are you adding mushrooms & bacon?"
"Condensed soup is better than homemade roux and sauce."
🗣 STOP EMBARRASSING US

Schumer would sell his soul to the devil for a box of Cheezits and a promise that Satan will totally think about torturing him less.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

The only way I would ever support a short term funding bill is if Adelita Grijalva is immediately sworn in first thing tomorrow morning, SNAP is fully funded, federal workers get back pay, and a vote is passed to release the Epstein files before January. Otherwise…No.
