US soldiers stationed in Germany and civilian employees of the US armed forces are not receiving any salary or other payments.
They are being fed by food banks and charities in Germany.
@reuters.com also just reported that US military base workers in Italy are being fed by charity too.

Of the local races I was following tonight, one was the mayoral race in Kansas City, KS. Two qualified women candidates for the office, and the winner, in my view, was likely more favored by insiders at the Unified Government. I wish her well and hope she can enact the changes that are needed.

This entire "the Dems need to abandon identity and focus on economics!" discourse is being driven by rich assholes who would melt down at the slightest hint of higher taxes on the wealthy or more welfare for the poor. Look how they're treating Mamdani! It's cynical bullshit all the way down.

Tough crowd of trick-or-treaters tonight. I just had a toddler dressed as a firefighter turn down the Kit Kat bar I was offering. "I don't want that one." I gave him a Reese's peanut butter cup instead.

It's hard to overstate how fully engaged Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are in this ICE madness. There are neighborhood watch alerts, spontaneous crowds gathering outside schools at pick up & drop off plus madly blowing whistles and honking car horns, this city is fighting back and hard.

If I wanted to disrupt a protest, I'd start a rumor that the regime was going to send agitators to infilitrate the protest and act up.
Then I'd sit back and watch them all act like cops and turn on each other.
We go through this every 3 years and it works every time.
