RON JOHNSON: In Central America, if you become a police chief, the drug cartels send you a DVD w/ a video of your family going to church or school...that's what ICE agents are facing
SORKIN: But these people are allowed to protest
J: They want their activists to dox them & put families at risk

The Bering strait. British privateers. A couple-three different flavors of religious separatism. Poverty. The hope of land to call their own. The greed of other people. The desire to avoid Prussian military service. The fact that the Swedes couldn't handle them. Not wanting to be slaughtered.
Genuinely curious: If your family is American, what brought them here?

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Let's put on the ol' waders and check out what my senators are saying over on TWFKAT.
McCormick: Nothing.
Fetterman: Ok, it starts with "Heartbreaking." Have we finally hit the breaking point? Will he vote against funding ICE now?
No. No of course not. It's a post about a diner fire.

If the Democrats has a competent coms team, they would already be lining up legislators and talking heads in front of every available camera asking why Vance thinks the United States, the Greatest County in the History of the World is a doomed vessel.

This sounds crazy, but I think they should be looking as a model to the handful of Scots who told him to fuck off when he tried to buffalo them into selling their land cheap for his golf courses.
i suspect there are a lot of morons in a lot of european capitals right now wringing their hands about the risk of escalation. here's the truth: the real risk is failure to escalate. backing down is showing weakness. trump will know it.
show strength instead.

Yes. Make the scandihoovians angry. Do it. Please, do it.
Remember in the summer of 2024 when Dems started calling Trump/Vance/et al "weird" and it resonated with millions of people (because it's true) and then they stopped?
Seeing a similar shift now. But angrier. Good. Take off the fucking gloves.

You lying piece of shit. I chaired the Minnesota DFL for all three of your runs here. I watched you lose. Three times. Minnesota never bought your con. And now, as Chair of the DNC, I’m looking forward to ending Trumpism for good in 2028 — not with lies, but with votes. Again.

Yesterday, local midday news closed with an editorial comment. I paused, thinking it would concern recent news events. I was hopeful but braced to be disappointed/angry.
The vital comment of public interest was: "Go Steelers" & a Terrible Towel (tm) twirl
