ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

“My friends in the EIS program are fed up with the whiplash, and some may quit. All can easily find more stable, supportive and higher paying jobs elsewhere— but few with more impact. This would be a huge loss for our country.”

Alan Shepard: "It's a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one's safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract."

Now apply that to Elon, known cost cutter & engineering advice ignorer.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

He may not meet with YOU, but you can be DAMNED sure he still works for US!
If he won't do the job, impeach the asshole! Get RID of him! This is a direct violation of his oath of office, which IS an impeachable offense!

Publix idiocy
I called Publix to advise them that my family, with two households that spend more than $1,000 a week, would no longer shop there.
It took me 15 minutes to reach customer service. The representative advised me that the wait was due to people protesting Publix's gun policy. I pointed out the idiocy of the logic that they were just following Florida law, when that law allows private businesses to ban firearms on their property.
We will do our grocery shopping at Whole Foods, Target, Aldi, Costco, Walmart or Trader Joe's.

Democrats should have been shouting this to the rooftops NOW that there was a ceasefire during Biden that the felon intervened instead of him now taking the credit for release of hostages. It's Reagan over Carter redux.
