lol I love that Habba thinks she can quit a job she never had. That reminds me, I need to resign as the prime minister of Australia.
The Parking Lot Lawyer FINALLY figured out she wasn’t welcome.
And PS: This is a complete and total surrender by Habba.

I'm persona non grata at CNN, a place that used to have me as a commentator, but Katie Miller, the fragile, racist wife of the fragile, racist Stephen Miller, has an open invitation.
I wonder why. Hmmm.
Guesses?

The cruelty is the point
In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.
She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.
This is not about immigration enforcement.
It's about terrorizing Americans.

Wren. They will nest anywhere.
My husband left his shoes on the porch and a wren made her nest in one of his shoes. Every time I stepped out the door, I would see 5 or 6 little Chick faces hiding in his shoe.

"Trump and Mike Johnson are working awfully damn hard to keep a sexual predator's files from being released. Makes you wonder why."

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.
The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.
While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.
The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.
