I've heard rumors that Philadelphia is next for the ICE invasion after Minneapolis.
Maybe I'm wrong, but
1) More than 11% of all ICE agents are in Minneapolis, and they've utterly failed to pacify the city.
2) Philly is 5x the size of Minneapolis.
3) "Minnesota nice" is a thing. We don't have that.

For more than ten weeks, the first lady of the United States has ignored—or perhaps just hoped it would go away—my lawsuit against her. But now she is out in the open, having to confront and deal with it. Inevitability has found her.

There’s too much time between now and the midterms. Either the military needs to not follow his illegal, unconstitutional, international law violating actions OR Congress needs to STOP him.We are at a breaking point.

I sometimes wonder if the highest court in the land realize the mistake of allowing presidents to have immunity detailing its cause and effect that it could have on a country and its citizens?

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

‘I was absolutely blown away’: Why car dealers say Canadian consumers could win from China EV deal
In almost every deal, there are winners and losers — and the Canada-China deal on electric vehicles appears to be no different.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

I really don't like to say it, but it's time for all American allies to force close ALL American military bases in their respective countries. Maybe that would send a powerful enough message to the Felon in chief.

One small thing I hope comes out of this nightmare is at least renaming the Department of Homeland Security. “Homeland” is not a word Americans use. It sounds like a translation from Heimatsicherheitsabteilung.
