Border Patrol claims to have a 100 mile border enforcement zone. This comes from the W Bush days.
A map of the United States showing the 100-mile border zone of the US Border Patrol. From the source of the map: “The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which includes the Border Patrol, is the largest law enforcement agency in the country. Their jurisdiction they claim spans 100 miles into the interior of the United States from any land or maritime border. Two-thirds of the U.S. population lives within this 100-mile border enforcement zone, including cities like Washington D.C., San Francisco CA, Chicago IL, New Orleans LA, Boston MA, & more.” https://www.southernborder.org/100_mile_border_enforcement_zone

C'mon Pete and/or Pete's comms team. Use alt text! Besides helping people with limited sight, it also makes these things say searchable. It takes two seconds!
Twitter post from Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg: Your health insurance premium just shot up. Your groceries cost more than ever. Your electric bill too. And what is your President's focus today? Lobbying Congress... to keep suppressing the Epstein files.

Hobo cat got into something good.
Piebald tabby with a bug-bitten face, looking like he is going to sneeze, laying on the corner of a brown couch. The cat and couch are framed by a light greenish wall.

stevehofstetter Day 26 of celebrating straight people! Like anti-choice Texas GOP rep Giovanni Capriglione, accused of a 17-year affair with an exotic dancer including paying for multiple abortions. Capriglione denied it. He now admits to the affair but denies the abortion claims. And yet, he's suddenly not running for re-election. Happy Straight Month!

Both Trump and Stephen Miller, the chief architect of the administration's immigration policies, might have imagined that their crackdown would isolate a relatively small group of people and be met with indifference by most Americans, giving Trump and Miller free rein to do as they pleased. In actuality, there is no way to execute an immigration crackdown in a way that spares ordinary citizens - that shields their families and keeps their communities intact. And so with each ICE arrest comes a new story: an immigrant parent torn from his citizen child, an undocumented business owner whose arrest threatens the livelihoods of his employees, lawmakers detained for the apparent offense of asking questions of ICE agents.

Here you go
I N MAY 1995, Pat Buchanan appeared at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., to announce an immigration policy that would become the centerpiece of his presidential campaign. "We have an illegal invasion of this country," Buchanan warned. To resist it, he called for a "Buchanan Fence" patrolled by the military along the southern border, a five-year moratorium on legal immigration, and a constitutional amendment that would deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. to undocumented parents. The platform was designed to stave off something Buchanan had long dreaded: "If present trends hold," he noted a few years earlier, "white Americans will be a minority by 2050." Buchanan was the first major politician to transform white anxiety about that prospect-which the Census Bureau first predicted in 1990—into an organizing principle for the conservative movement. (Never mind that the idea of a majority-minority tipping point is contested by social scientists, who argue that ever-changing norms about racial self-identification are blurring the numbers.) "The question we Americans need to address, before it is answered for all of us, is: Does this First World nation wish to become a Third World country?" he wrote in 1990.

Smokey hiding her shame.
Grey long-haired tabby with a big floofy tail, looking towards the camera, pauses cleaning her crotch, with her right front paw in between her spread open back legs as if to hide her privates.

From the goddamn president of the USA on TruthSocial.
Donald J. Trump & @realDonaldTrump Why doesn't Chairman Bob Iger do something about ABC Fake News, especially since I just won $16,000,000 based on the Fake and Defamatory reporting of Liddle' George Slopadopolus. He was given warnings, but just couldn't be restrained by "management." Now I see they are at it again, and I again give these SleazeBags fair warning! The wonderful country of Qatar, after agreeing to invest more than 1.4 Trillion Dollars in the United States of America, deserves much better than Misleading (Fake!) News. Everyone, including their lawyers, has been told that ABC must not say that Qatar is giving ME a FREE Boeing 747 Airplane, because they are not. Instead, and as Fake News ABC fully knows and understands, this highly respected country is donating the plane to the United States Air Force/ Defense Department, AND NOT TO ME. By so doing, they are saving our country, and the American Taxpayer, hundreds of millions of dollars. ABC Fake News is one of the WORST 1.23k ReTruths 4k Likes May 17, 2025 at 10:29 PM

Alt tagging it, because those two paragraphs are super fucked up, and I don't want to spare those with vision problems from the brain damage that comes from reading this.
The specific "reciprocal" tariff rate was half of the current trade imbalance because "the president is lenient and he wants to be kind to the world," a Trump aide told reporters. "The numbers [for tariffs by country] have been calculated by the Council of Economic Advisers ... based on the concept that the trade deficit that we have with any given country is the sum of all trade practices, the sum of all cheating," a White House official said, calling it "the most fair thing in the world."

Yoni Appelbaum @YAppelbaum tweets: NEW: In a court filing this evening, the Trump administration said that it had mistakenly deported a Maryland father to a notorious Salvadoran prison due to an "administrative error." Snippet of article follows: "But in Monday's court filing, attorneys for the government admitted that the Salvadoran man, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, was deported accidentally. "Although ICE was aware of his protection from removal to El Salvador, Abrego Garcia was removed to El Salvador because of an administrative error," the government told the court. Trump lawyers said the court has no ability to bring him back now that Abrego Garcia is in Salvadoran custody."
