Texas Republicans shift messaging around ICE tactics amid election-year risks
With midterm elections approaching, Texas Republicans are publicly questioning ICE's tactics following deadly and controversial enforcement actions. Analysts say the rhetoric reflects growing political vulnerability rather than a true break from the party's tough stance on immigration.

The weekend has arrived and Dexter is ready for Caturday 😻
Being a kitten might mean EVERY day is a weekend. Ok being a CAT might mean that 😹 But for Dexter, the weekend might bring more visitors, which equates to more play time.

Hello everyone
Sorry to disrupt #Caturday, but I have a short announcement to make
Firstly, I am Joe the cat
Secondly, I has come to my attention that the humans supposedly running this world are not fit for the task, and should be removed immediately
Can this be sorted by Monday morning? Thanks
