How do we know they were "posing" as ICE agents as opposed to just ICE agents committing crimes––something we're seeing captured on video on a daily basis?

When Trump says he's targeting "the worst of the worst" with his immigration crackdown, he means he's dragging a day care worker out of a North Side Chicago center without a warrant, traumatizing the children she cares for.

Posted on Reditt for US service members stationed in Germany. Even when being paid it’s not uncommon for junior service members to qualify for WIC &/or reduced price school lunches. Germany is paying 12,000 civilian employees who work for the US military during the shutdown.

So, permitting US citizens to have representation in Congress is "a very, very bad situation."

Not even attempting to hide it.
Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

Ok “mamdani and spanberger/sherrill took two wildly different paths to winning” is not the take, people. Really. Not everything is a left vs. center battle for the soul of the party.

Good morning. It was a good election day yesterday in the USA. That makes today a nice moment to take in the view from the bridge over Estero José, “Joe’s Creek,” just above the delta of this mountain stream at Yelcho Lake, Chilean Patagonia.

#RecipeOfTheDay is just right for Bonfire Night, which is rather old-fashioned of me, I know, since it seems that it’s been swallowed up by Halloween these days. Still, this Fresh Gingerbread with Lemon Icing is gorgeous whether you’re waving sparklers or not tonight! www.nigella.com/recipes/fres...
