A Facebook group that shared information on sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in the Chicago area was taken down by Meta following pressure from the Justice Department, according to Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Facebook removes Chicago-area page dedicated to ICE sightings after Justice Department intervenes
The Facebook page ICE Sighting-Chicagoland amassed over 70,000 members in recent weeks as the Trump administration’s “Operation Midway Blitz” has ramped up in Chicago and the suburbs.

and because he’s a narcissistic sociopath incapable of empathy, it means he cannot understand how embarrassingly others perceive him

The thing about this is we all have embarrassing moments of vanity, wounded or otherwise. It's that he thinks it's okay to publish his embarrassing thoughts. That's the crazy part.

you guys, IT WOULD BE FUN to see CBS news traffic/views drop by a precipitous amount. Separate from whatever good it may do…making that happen for the people in charge would be FUN!

(I can’t help; as it happens, I ain’t looked at anything by them in years. But there are others out there.)

Will just remind everyone — vote with — and most importantly WITHOUT — your thumbs.

If you don’t like the new news director, don’t click any of the links. Don’t rage click. Don’t do it.

move over, Coco delivery bots — Peggy is here
The four-wheel delivery robot with the name, Peggy written on the side. It’s white and green, and it has some kind of console on the back top of it, kind of like a spoiler. Two sets of lights on the front kind of look like eyes.

wow, what incredible political instincts! Sees popularity widely collapsing, thinks, “better go after Comey, that’ll fix it!” 🙃 www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Yet after the passage of the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act and the revival of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, things changed, one current and two former White House officials, as well as one outside adviser, told me on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations. Trump couldn't get some diehard MAGA supporters to stop dwelling on his ties to the disgraced sex offender. The signature Republican legislation proved unpopular. The economy, whipsawed by tariffs, was displaying warning signs. Trump's poll numbers began to slip, and the GOP was in danger of losing the midterms-which alarmed Trump and fueled some of his most extreme moves. With Republican control of Congress in danger, Trump began focusing more on retaliation.

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

Also, we proposed a idea how to do a end run on vote by mail. Concept is based on what Trump proposed. When you vote, you check everyone's citizenship as well as voter ID.
In a vote by mail state, you might be able to check citizenship during voter registration. You can send copies of your passport and your birth certificate in.
How in the world are you going to check our voters?
Voter ID, right? Vote by mail. So that creates a problem for Oregon.
But if federal government new requirement is to check both, and if Oregon can comply with the requirements, what would happen to our election result? I'm talking about the entire federal delegation.
For federal elections, we're talking about only federal elections.

So entire federal delegation, congressmen and senators could be challenged, could be unseated because you didn't follow federal requirements to elect them. So I said the trade-off is worth it. You know why?
Democrats control two Senate seats out of six congressional seats. We only control one. They control five.
You talk about trade-off, right?
