Another new ICE tactic.
Earlier I posted about the ICE thugs dressed as construction workers, now caught in Washington state using a Mexican license plate.
Sharing is the only way to get the word out.

The benefit of cutting social programs was never about saving money. The “benefit” of cutting social programs is keeping “those” people in their place. Its about making sure lower status groups can’t move up the social hierarchy ladder and challenge the “real americans.”
The poverty team at Columbia ran the numbers on *just* the Thrifty rollback and *just* on families with kids and found that for every $1 in cuts ("savings"), we all lose $14-20. My goodness.

Maybe the military in LA could pop over the hill and help address a real problem; this fire in Burbank.

Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles.

Worth remembering that most of these individuals have spent the last decade turning their entire ethos into political gaslighting as a form of governance. Going to your home SCIF and having a formal conversation is boring and time-consuming. Spouting off on your phone involves emojis and speed.
Worth noting that most of the senior officials on that Signal group chat have SCIFs (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities) in their homes—SCIFs that are installed and maintained by the US government.
This includes Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, Waltz, CIA Director Ratcliffe, Tulsi Gabbard.

it really pisses me off that the DOGE people don't appreciate that when you have a system that deals with 300,000,000 people, an error rate of 0.1% is 300,000 people, and if the system is a matter of life, death, and your entire financial existence, that's not a mistake you can make.

Sorry J.D.
My concern is for Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russians or bombed and mutilated by Putin.
As for you claim that your kids were scared by Ukrainian protesters
you should be more worried about them being ashamed of their Dad.
You are a liar.

Paramount brass should watch The Insider again. Or maybe for the first time?
Let's not mince words. If Paramount settles Trump's "60 Minutes" lawsuit, it will look like a payoff. Specifically, it will look like a big check to Trump (or his presidential library) in exchange for regulatory approval of Paramount's pending deal with Skydance Media. www.cnn.com/2025/01/31/m...
