Close to 650 federal agents remain in Minnesota weeks after border czar announced end of operation There are still more than quadruple the 150 agents Tom Homan said there would be in the state by the end of last week.

More lies on ICE. They did not do the promised draw down from Minnesota, but they have a reputation for constant lying that they have to maintain www.startribune.com/close-to-650...

"I asked God to forgive me, which he has."

Honestly this is the biggest perk of serving in Congress. Most people have to ask forgiveness and wonder. If you're in Congress you get a same day answer from the big guy.

Nobody has understood the real, material nature of "modern civilisation" better than the Dirty Hippies, and everyone hates them for it.

"The picture that emerged was of a slow shift playing out beneath the surface of entire populations: a rise in cognitive problems, subtle declines in functional capacity, and lost independence."

Thomson Reuters criticized by some Minnesota employees over its ICE contract Workers at the company’s Eagan campus pressed their concerns to executives, including over potential misuse of license plate data, during Twin Cities immigration surge.

β€œThomson Reuters aggregates a wide spectrum of public and proprietary information into CLEAR β€” billions of data points in all.”

It's all fun and games when it's the American society of pediatrics having to choose between embracing "Trans is a phase" or going to prison, but what about when they have to do the same about the tetanus vaccine?

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very oftenβ€”and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

As many people have correctly pointed out: the worst outcome of this war is nuclear annihilation.

I sometimes wonder about how Catholic nationalists work alongside rapture heretics on things like this and then remember a bunch of them are wealthy recent converts that really don't take it seriously other than trying to look pious on TV before telling the pope to shut up about feeding the poor.

Well, I don't know about you tree-hugging libtards, but I see a couple hundred butchered school kids, six dead U.S. soldiers and $300 million in wrecked fighter planes as a net win. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

Trump helps MAGA influencers flee Middle East war zone on private jet Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz, dogwalker Sarah Daither, former lobbyist Jay Footlik, and others managed to escape on a private plane thanks to the White House.

The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

I will add one last thought. Many of the responses from Democratic lawmakers and liberal commentators (even the good ones) contain some ambivalence - some hope that perhaps the fall of the Iranian regime, even at the hands of Donald Trump, will be for the best. I understand why. I am the son of an Iranian immigrant. Ultimately I want freedom, democracy, and dignity for the Iranian people. The problem is that I've seen the American government promise all of those things a hundred times, and I've never seen them deliver it once.

Frankly, we've seen enough: it's time to fire all the cowards who toadied to Trump and disgraced their institutions in the process. CEOs, lawyers, university presidents. Clear them all out, replace them with people who stood firm. Remake our society with leaders who have principles and courage.

But if you work there (making more in a year than 80% of all trans people combined), don't worry, you have zero responsibility for this pogrom as long as you put on a sad face!
