A Little Imaginary Safety
Mike @SpeakerJohnson , whose party has a "pro-Hamas wing” again?
Tom @GOPMajorityWhip Emmer, whose party has a "terrorist wing"?

Honestly, I loaded the NYT front page this morning and instantly thought that the man on the left was ICE until I saw the AK. The cutline identifies him as a "Hamas gunman." The man on the right is from CBP/ICE.

We Still Have Heroes
A flood of attorneys repulsed by their firms' kowtowing to Trump placed their dedication to the law above Big Law’s commitment to profit. They quit in disgust, giving up six- and seven-figure salaries to fight to preserve democracy.

Loaded up the NYT front page just now and instantly thought this was ICE.

What Does CBP Teach Their “Cops”?
ICE draws weapons on ppl who ask questions.
ICE arrests ppl for legally videoing their arrests.
ICE demands "papers" from 15-yr-olds.
ICE hides their faces & drives cars w/o proper plates.

Why do we let the lawless enforce the law?

An immigrant from the Philippines said, “I know what it looks like when people in authority are not held to account for anything they do. … They’re doing it right now here, it’s no different. This is Nazi s—t. When the state is failing, this is what they do.”

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Is Soros issuing W2s to his his paid protesters, @RogerMarshallMD ? If I was supposed to submit a time card or an invoice, nobody told me.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."
