Tom Homan looks like a guy whose sole thing is getting impotently angry at two of the Marx brothers torturing him at his lemonade stand

Cartoons are good.

There are five different shows running now that I'm following, but the most compelling one to actually look at is Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal.

What producer but he could render such beauty in a whole episode about a rotting reanimated neanderthal protecting a grasshopper?

This week's #TwentiesTuesday garment is this two-piece jade green georgette crepe silk dress, dating from 1926. It is decorated with three rows of self-scallops around the skirt hem, blouse cuffs and down the centre front of both pieces. Goldstein Museum of Design collection. #fashionhistory

I know that's not what the OP means but it's very fun to imagine the FBI monitoring the chat I have with seven other weird dads called Grinch Milking Table: Where We Milk The Grinch
DHS and DOJ were *already* monitoring all your big Signal chats, they have been doing it for years. All unvetted chats have feds in them. And it's safe to assume every 20th person in a vetted chat is a fed too. Don't let it stop you from organizing.
FBI is investigating Minnesota Signal groups tracking ICE, Patel says
FBI Director Kash Patel made the statement after right-wing media figures said they joined the chats and claimed participants were obstructing law enforcement.

as long as they're *professional* when they kidnap your neighbors and their children, then everything's just fine.
Q: The demand was to get ICE and CBP out. To replace Bovino with Tom Homan...do you think that's a satisfactory change?

TIM WALZ: "I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt. ...My hope is that Tom Homan is different...that he is a true law enforcement professional."

NY/DC corridor media speeding right to the absolution of Trump and missing the fact that nothing has changed in Minnesota, despite his alleged change in tone
A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.

Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

"The court's patience is at an end," U.S. District Judge Patrick J. Schiltz wrote.

"…ordering the head of a federal agency to personally appear is an extraordinary step. But the extent of ICE's violation of court orders is likewise extraordinary, and lesser measures have been tried and failed."
BREAKING:

Minnesota's chief federal judge has demanded the acting head of ICE personally appear in court Friday to explain what the judge described as repeated failures to comply with dozens of court orders amid its enforcement efforts in the state.

Trump is nothing if not ready to sacrifice anyone and anything in order to save his own ass and the single most important thing that could happen right now is someone convincing him that the biggest driver of his unpopularity is not just Bovino and Noem but Stephen Miller personally
Feels like Trump is pretty much unconditionally surrendering as support collapses
