DHS is the last federal agency lacking funding for the remainder of fiscal year 2026, which runs through Sept. 30.
So this affects employees somewhat.
DHS has entered a shutdown following expiration of funding.
With Congress scheduled to go into recess, the shutdown could last for weeks.
A majority of DHS employees — including those within TSA, FEMA, and ICE — are considered essential, meaning they will continue working without immediate pay.

Denmark and Greenland can breathe a sigh of relief as Trump fixes his next bombing target, cranking up the American war machine for many weeks of war against Iran. Since he already announced the complete destruction of Iran's nuclear program, the objectives of this episode are not clear.

Okay this is a great message and all but he follows up the "trans people are 1% of the population" thing by saying "undocumented people are 1% of the population" and I'm here to pedantically say no, actually, they're a bit over 4% of the population.
James Talarico: No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes.
The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. We are all focused on the wrong 1%.

Based on prior such attacks, the odds that the people murdered are, as billed here, "narco-terrorists" is far south of 50%. These murders are being carried out for pure entertainment value.

I haven’t figured out what year(s) this took place in the series “Lead Children”. I’m not in the mood to read through the doctor’s info on Wikipedia. The history in it is interesting as Brezhnev just visited Poland where the story takes place. It’s on Netflix and based on a true story.
