Large swaths of the Department of Homeland Security are set to shut down Saturday unless lawmakers strike a deal to fund the agency. Dems threatening to oppose any legislation that does not include new restrictions on federal immigration agents.

At what point will this corrupt administration see that this has ALL gone way too far? Think any one of them will have a come to Jesus moment? Think the house & senate have truly seen enough? They can't really believe this is gonna play out in their favor... amazing how far our society has fallen.

Kinda funny that Trump thinks "asylum" means other countries send people from insane asylums, and a) this is real life, not a ham-handed Idiocracy-type satire, b) he has surely been corrected several times but is incapable of updating his priors, & c) most media politely agree not to mention it.

Oh, hey, that's my article.
The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech.
If that sounds insane to you, congratulations on your reading comprehension.

Bowen Yang gone from SNL; yeah, he was terrific. However I have zero feelings for any of this seasons new cast members. Mainstays Marcelo Hernandez & Sarah Sherman are having a minute - defiantly shining through. Some of the other returning cast bring very little other than Ashley Padilla = talented

President Trump and his reps have offered shifting, often contradictory accounts of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. But the two men’s bond was both closer and far more complex than the president now admits, The New York Times found.

UPDATE: Judge Perry issued an opinion explaining why she blocked the Texas National Guard deployment in Chicago.
She begins with Alexander Hamilton’s rejection of a “preposterous” idea that the Constitution lets a President deploy a State’s militia to a different State for political retribution. 🧵

![OPINION AND ORDER
Since this country was founded, Americans have disagreed about the appropriate division
of power between the federal government and the fifty states that make up our Union. This
tension is a natural result of the system of federalism adopted by our Founders. And yet, not even
the Founding Father most ardently in favor of a strong federal government believed that one
state's militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution, calling such
a suggestion "inflammatory," and stating "it is impossible to believe that [a President] would employ such preposterous means to accomplish their designs." But Plaintiffs contend that such
an event has come to pass, and argue that National Guard troops from both Illinois and Texas
have been deployed to Illinois because the President of the United States wants to punish state elected officials whose policies are different from his own.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreiefrnejknswedhhz5os4kxytyubcriulytg64k2ims446uxsscsla@jpeg)

Americans can't afford groceries, childcare, healthcare, gas, + so many other things and this ballroom noise is straight out of Entitled Weekly! We need to vote the GOP out as the Trump minions have zero grasp on reality. Hope the next admin knocks it down and erases it from history.

Watching what should be a much improved New England Patriots team melting down (for now) to the LV Raiders. Seeing Pats players laughing & joking on the sidelines while losing is not a good sign. Can change coaches but gotta change the post Brady culture. Tom would never have allowed it
