I'm waiting for the one that was prophesied, the man who would unite the kingdom, Stephen M. Begich-Sullivan. His campaign slogan: "I'm all the familiar names so don't think, just fill the box." The M is for Murkowski.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage
He’s giving the oath of enlistment to a group of new servicemembers. With a normal President, that would have been a really cool experience.
Too bad he ruins everything he touches.

I have been actively watching contracts and surge funding over the last few days and what I would say to my friends in Baltimore is “be absolutely ready, right now.”
ICE poised to ramp up raids in Baltimore by Thanksgiving
The Trump administration has rush-ordered infrastructure to conduct raids, abduct residents, and detain people for months.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.
In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.
