So the US military is about to become the Drug Enforcement Agency for South America since we obviously learned nothing from the last 60 years of foreign policy.

I crawled through another week.
It's time to hang out with kiddo.
To crochet.
Listen to audiobooks.
Look at the leaves.
Drink some coffee.
Eat some stew.
And try not to dread next week.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Conveniently, right before the midterms!
This isn’t going to go the way they think it is.
The National Guard isn’t going to allow themselves to be used as Trump’s voter suppression force.

Hegseth doesn't dispute the existence of a memo planning for the establishment of a "National Guard response force that's gonna be trained in crowd control and civil unrest and deployed in all 50 states by April 2026."

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.
And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.
It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.
They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

Maybe we should all apply and then wash out of the academy.
Omg, this detail from CNN about the ICE hiring snafu is wild. This seems like an HR 101 level thing to get right.
They turned a hiring bonus into something much closer to an application bonus.
Seems like a great way to burn a ton of cash. Also? Here’s some waste for sure!
