In one of the stories about the nativity display in Massachusetts, DHS spox Tricia McLaughlin went out of her way to say the nativity scene was a lie because “ICE does not separate families.” It “NEVER happens,” she wrote (emphasis in original).

Yuanxin Zheng would like a word.
It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

It's easy to disagree with some of these experts but refreshing to remember what the discussion of Russia's war against Ukraine could be like.

US and Ukraine didn’t make any progress, come on.

US told Ukraine to bow down to Putin in various ways, Ukraine went point by point explaining why they won’t do that, and the US president berated them more.

The whole thing remains a farce, since the US keeps pretending Russia isn’t the problem.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

I recognize this is, to some extent, cope/bargaining, but

this is the the first of several votes necessary to end the shutdown, right? so even the present unfathomable fecklessness doesn't mean it's over over, and there are multiple potential blockage points ahead to reject a no-concessions 'deal'?

One point worth emphasizing here: The punditry has been saying Sherrill (and Spanberger) represent the sane centrist wing of the party versus the left. Well, okay, but here Sherrill is urging more fight. Again, the results show that anti-Trump + affordability can *unite* the party. This shows how.
This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Meet Wintertide the Mystical Phantom! I designed and hand-sewed her.

Using her telekinetic powers, Wintertide can move cold objects like popsicles, or semi-cold objects like slightly melted popsicles. Basically, she enjoys making popsicles float around.
