We may be the dirt under their feet, but without us, they have nothing to stand on.

ICE had to reduce training requirements, lower standards, and offer $50k bonuses to hire 12,000 new agents over the course of a year. Minneapolis had 50,000 people in the street today, protesting against ICE when the high temperature was -8Β°.

Trump administration declares CFPB funding illegal The decision, disclosed in a court filing, puts the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on track to shut down in β€˜early 2026’ when its remaining cash runs out.

They're just dismantling the bureau that protects people from predatory banking practices, nothing to see here.

Top .01%, 1% is so 20 years ago.

"In short, Israel's core shared financial goal is to leverage its security and technological expertise to integrate into the Gulf's wealthy economy, a goal that is heavily reliant on Donald Trump's diplomatic influence and the strategic calculations of the Saudi Royal Family."

Oh, and they're urging us not to speculate about it at all.

So an investigator, appointed by a governor who ran with Trump's support and was confirmed by a republican state senate, found that even though witnesses reported an explosion beforehand, there was no explosion before the Goodstein fire, and no foul play seems to be involved.
The old law is dead.

I had honestly thought they already had this and tried to make an application for prospective employees. No such luck. So I'm personally glad we can now do that.

Most cabinets are made here. This is another distraction and another "See look, I'm doing something" without actually doing something.

As a cabinet maker, I first thought this would be a boon to my business. Upon researching, though, the largest cabinet suppliers in America make their cabinets here. Idk who is importing cabinets, but it's not most of us.

Even a robot can tell what they're doing is messed up on a humanitarian level.

I asked AI if ICE was a terrorist group. While it wouldn't call them that because they're a part of the government, it did finally end with this.

You sound like a gen z after their first day applying for jobs.

Just go to college campuses with a sign that says you haven't had your mind changed since middle school.

What he really means is they're going to make it illegal to say anything bad about them. When they do, it's pew pew time.

Keep trying. Mental gymnastics are fun. I didn't defend any women. All I said was that it's not that deep, we just like memes.

Mostly because you're putting words in my mouth. Just like you did with your op. You can obfuscate it all you want, doesn't change it.

1. We can be amused by what Newsom is doing and also not think he'd be a good president.
2. If you want people to listen to you, learn to speak their language.
3. Pritzker is awesome!

The fact that Truth Social is still available even though they don't require age verification says EVERYTHING.
