I’m amazed that there are no illegal immigrants in any “red” cities.

The illegal immigration problem is not one of supply, but rather demand. If you send the ICE goons into companies that knowingly hire illegal immigrants, send their CEOs and presidents to El Salvador prisons, I think you’d see a great reduction in illegal immigration. But it not about that, is it?

Senate GOP goes “nuclear” to confirm batches of Trump nominees: why it matters - Axios
What happened to “advise and consent”? Now it’s “acquiesce and confirm” en masse.

Putin's answer to "symbolic" will probably be more drones entering/attacking (delete as appropriate) NATO territory.
We have been tested and found wanting.
Symbolic words aren't enough to deter.
If we don't know this by now (Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014/2022, Baltic states/Poland 2025) shame on us.

This has been coordinated with France and the UK, and follows other European NATO allies such as the Netherlands, Spain or Czechia.
Yes, symbolic, but also an important aspect of showing unity (though no indication that the US will follow).

The Trump regime’s reckless elimination of ICE’s paperwork requirement is a dangerous betrayal of American legal standards.
For over 15 years, ICE officers had to document targets (names, employment, status, criminal records) before any arrest, with supervisor approval.

A chilling reminder that ordinary people often choose comfort over conscience. Complicity isn’t always active—it’s the everyday refusal to truly see evil.

(1) Major retailers like Wal-Mart, Amazon, Target are retaliating against their suppliers for the huge trade deficits they’re facing. Their suppliers buy nothing from these defenseless retailers forcing them to take this drastic action.

Texas has often threatened to secede from the union. I could work with losing a flag star. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Built a wall all the way around the Repugnant of Texas, even the part bordering the Gulf of MEXICO!
