An end to the male loneliness epidemic? Previously aimless and disaffected young men and boys are finding companionship by driving around together to tail the goon squads and warn their neighbors.

Folks, Trump has brought the full force of ICE to bear on a mid-sized city and he can't even stop the demonstrations there. He's not going to be able to cancel the midterm elections by fiat or station his goons outside more than a handful of polling places.

Yeah, basically after 2016 all of the decent fathers selected into anti-Trump. All that's left on that side of the aisle are childless men and men who ultimately do not care about their children
I’ve told this story on here before and I’ll tell it again bc I’m proud of my family: my lifelong-Reaganite Dad has never voted for Trump because when push came to shove in 2016, my Mom asked him “would you be able to look your daughters in the eye and say you voted for him” and he said no.

I know some have been a little unnerved at the aggressive following and noisemaking tactics of the observers. What they don’t realize is that it’s necessitated by what ICE is doing. You have seconds and you need as many eyes on them as possible, and as many people trying to get key info as possible.

If you see one, the most important thing to say is “WHAT’S YOUR NAME” because otherwise the person is gone for good, maybe. I witnessed one in an alley as the sole pursuit car, I was the only witness, I froze for a second and didn’t shout it in time, and the guy is just… gone now. I’ll never know.

I'm no campaign manager, but if this is a precursor to another government shutdown (a funding deadline is approaching), it makes far more sense to make a "sensible" demand that will reveal Trump to be totally unreasonable and unwilling to negotiate, versus asking him to abolish ICE.
The Congressional Progressive Caucus, which has nearly 100 members, announced its members will oppose any new funding for immigration enforcement until "meaningful" reforms are put in place. www.huffpost.com/entry/doj-fe...

he should just take a page out of Mike Johnson's playbook and just tell the press he hasn’t seen it, doesn’t know about it, etc.
Q: Is it your posture to put restrictions on ICE as a condition for funding DHS?
JEFFRIES: Renee Good should be alive. There was no justification. There are common sense measures that need to put in place so ICE can conduct itself in manner at least consistent w/ every other law enforcement agency

After seeing one bond guy struggle with basic percentages on live television and another fail at elementary game theory on Bluesky within weeks of one another, really starting to buy the idea that the 40-year bull market in fixed income made successes out of some stone-cold morons.
This is incredibly embarrassing for PIMCO IMO.
As regards the reporting below from the NYT:
For those of us who value the operational autonomy of central banks, the risk is that this situation could expose deeper issues—further undermining the credibility of a Fed whose public standing is already fragile.
This is the scenario...

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand
