I hate these. But I'm a married 40-something year old (elder millennial/xennial). Rather liberal & work in the nonprofit sector. Live in the Chicago area but from Colorado. Hubs is a film critic, so I may frequently promote his reviews and podcast.

I voted against the funding package considered by the House today because we must prevent the further murder of Americans, ensure due process, and address the catastrophic failures by Kristi Noem and the Department of Homeland Security.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.
Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?
MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone

5 years later, a stubborn fight over the basic facts of the Jan. 6 riot
The physical damage from the Capitol riot has been repaired — and President Trump has pardoned almost every defendant. What remains is a battle over the basic facts.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.
For the crime of … complaining about government policy.
Core 1A speech.
With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US.
Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them?
Or just the brown people?

@altmadison.bsky.social pet stores in Illinois are banned from selling cats and dogs. They have to partner with rescues to help get those critters adopted. My new kitty came from an adoption event at my nearby pet store.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Hundreds of NOAA employees are being fired by Trump and DOGE.
The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.
A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.
Again, this isn't about efficiency.
