I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:

“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:

the thing about the Fuentes 'feud' or whatever it is...is that it ultimately helps him. he's getting the attention he wants which is akin to legitimacy. more normies in my life have now heard of him and i just don't think attention works the way it did with like, David Duke, say.

Good to know that Fox segments determine our foreign policy as well as domestic, and provide most of the cabinet appointees.

"Speaker Johnson, it looks as though the president is currently stabbing you with a knife. Do you have any comment?"

"Well, look, this is the first I'm hearing about it. As you know, I've been really busy not doing my job, so I just don't know enough about this alleged stabbing to make a comment."

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

Happy Godzilla Day to all who celebrate! The original movie GODZILLA premiered in Japan on this date, November 3, in 1954.

Artwork of Godzilla singing into a microphone, with premiere beacon lights shining into the sky behind him. Probably photoshopped.
