Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.
For the love of all that is decent and holy: abolish ICE

Do not let the failures of prosecution post January 6th happen again. Every second you do not charge this person is a second the massive propaganda apparatus around the federal government will use to create a fog of lies to get him off. Arrest him immediately for killing an American citizen.

In the span of a few hours, Mike Johnson just watched his already shaky hold on the House slip to about as weak as it can get.
He can only afford to lose ONE Republican vote now, assuming full attendance + all other GOPers vote his way. 😬 www.huffpost.com/entry/house-...

House Republicans’ Vote Margin Is Looking Pret-ty Thin Right Now
Between a retirement, a sudden death and a GOP lawmaker in the hospital, Mike Johnson may now only have one more vote than Democrats.

Republican Rep. Doug LaMalfa has died.
Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned from Congress last night.
A special election in Texas on Jan. 31 will put in another Democrat in office.
Mike Johnson's House majority is almost non-existent. Next month, he can only lose one vote.

This is the perfect illustration of the emptiness of political reporting that stresses “access”
Trump picked up the phone, but didn’t say anything. What a scoop! You got proof of life! Yay!

From the perspective of reporting the news, it doesn’t strike me that there is a functional difference between a president who answers the phone at 4:30am in the morning but doesn’t answer a reporter’s questions, versus a president who doesn’t agreed to be interviewed.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m calling from [ZIP CODE].

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

This part (from the article) might be a good option, too: "Request a Manual Postmark: Customers may present a mail piece at a retail counter and request a 'manual (local) postmark.' This postmark is applied at the time of acceptance, so the date aligns with the date the USPS took possession."
Anyone dropping off a time-sensitive piece of postage (ballots, legal docs, etc) should start taking a photo of them selves dropping it off (with postage & postal address clearly showing) at a USPS mailbox to use as evidence later.
I don't know if it would count legally but it's worth a shot...

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.
