The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

“‘I had him inside here for three days, in this Louisiana facility, my baby dead in my stomach, inside my stomach for three days, dead,’ she said.”
A pregnant woman lost her baby after ICE refused to give her prenatal care.
She begged for help and was denied. She was fed food full of cockroaches. She was forced to sleep on the floor.
This is absolutely disgusting and we should all be outraged. nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

great reminder to all of those Democrats and liberals saying that we need to abandon red states because they are gerrymandered into right wing autocracies where the vote isn’t in their favor instead of accepting that we are gonna have to fight for every American no matter where they are.

Last year, Trump promised to make quick deals to end the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, prevent a conflict with Iran, and negotiate better terms for trade wth China.
His team is “bad at diplomacy because they’re bad strategists,” said one defense expert. “They don’t think beyond their first move.”

Israel can take out an Iranian commander 1000km away with a drone missile through a single bedroom wall, without any other damage.
But to target a Hamas leader a few kilometres away, they need to raze whole neighborhoods to the ground.
Is it obvious yet?

NEW: A US defense official says this attack, which Israel says will continue over multiple days, will provoke a significant Iranian response that the Israelis will then ask the United States to help counter despite the fact that it just blew up the delicate US diplomatic talks. This is crazy.
