If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.
Two groups are calling for new leadership at HHS after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s actions on substance abuse treatment and mental health medications, among other issues.
Someone should start asking why weโre hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

โ.. this was probably the best AMD could hope for (since they canโt write a $100b check), and that theyโd gladly trade 10% dilution for a $600 share price. There remain, of course, bears, who underscored.. the fact that .. some of the 6GW may be double-counted Stargate revenue.โ
Brewers 7, Cubs 3. Chicago is down 0-2 in the NLDS.

a golden retriever stands between two bars in a baby gate, with his fluffy blond fur puffing out on either side. they say you canโt be two places at once, but this guy might have accidentally cracked the code.
a more overhead view of the golden puppy in the middle of the baby gate. he found the slightly wider slot between the first bar and the wall. his fluff obscures part of the bar, and his tail tilts downward in resignation.
another shot of Bear in his gate predicament. heโs closing his eyes as he tries to accept that heโs found himself here once more, and he seems to be avoiding asking for help.
This is Bear. He got stuck in the gate for the third time this week. Can't believe this keeps happening. Still 12/10 (IG: howdytherebear)
This is Barrett. He keeps trying to howl along with his big sister Hazel. Personally finds the practice repulsive but refuses to be left out. 13/10 for both (TT: jennyrae23)

ICE is doing a hell of a lot of harm in the Chicago area *right now.* I donโt mean to trivialize the national guard stuff, it absolutely is an irresponsible escalation, but the guard-centric convo around this really does understate whatโs going on without any guardsmen.
If and when America finds a way out of authoritarianism, not only will ICE have to be abolished: All these people will need to be held accountable in a court of law for the monstrosities they are committing - those who are ordering them as well as those who are carrying them out.
Every single one.
