I wonder about the family, friends and neighbors of ICE agents-do they all cheer them on or are many repulsed?And do they speak up or just avoid them?
Any stories out there?

A sociopathic narcissist exploits tragedy/suffering of others to satisfy his dysfunctionally competitive, vindictive need to "win"....and to Self Aggrandize.
In this one statement, Trump exhibits 7 of 9 symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and 6 of 7 for Anti-Social PD (sociopathy).

The timing of this post and the reference to the murders being "due to the anger ... caused others through … TDS" suggests strongly that Trump believed that **one or more of his supporters** had committed the murders—and that they had committed the atrocity **justifiably**.

Fascinating listen. Waiting to hear from Justice Jackson, wondering what she is going to ask.

We don’t need a blue wave in 2026. We need a blue tsunami to show Republicans that all their gerrymandering won’t stop how Americans feel about the way they have so quickly screwed over our country. #bluetsuanmi

Perhaps Charlie Kirk was surprised, when he got to heaven yesterday, and saw so many of the category of people he vilified there, and finally realized Jesus loves and values Everyone! Too bad he didn’t learn that less on earth.

Imagine the future history books:
“In 2025, the Supreme Court ruled it was unconstitutional to consider race in helping a Latino student get into college, but totally awesome to consider race when throwing their dad into a concentration camp.”

On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

The idea that Blue States should stop sending the Fed govt $ seems off. I am not aware of how States send the Federal government funds. Businesses pay the Feds payroll tax directly. Individuals pay income tax directly. So how exactly does the State of California pay the Feds $?
