Well, no one is asking me, but *I*, personally, would not prefer it.
I just left a classified briefing with the Trump Administration about the war in Iran.
I was worried before, but I’m more worried now.

Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Proving one thing: they fully intended to put some IRGC general in charge, likely one who happily ordered the killing of protesters
Implying another: they accidentally killed a bunch of the high level guys who were on the Mossad payroll.

Respondents have already wasted valuable time and resources. Worst of all, not only does detention without due process deprive members of the Bond Eligible Class of their liberty, economic stability, and fundamental dignity, but it also harms their families, communities, and the fabric of this very nation. IT IS SO ORDERED.
Wow.
Fed. judge tells DHS, ICE, Sec. Noem, AG Bondi, EOIR and others that they are harming "the fabric of this very nation" by defying a court order that vacated their automatic-detention policy.

Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.
Kristi Noem: "When it gets to Election Day, we've been proactive to make sure we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country."
When will Republicans, veterans organizations, & retired military officers speak up about this? No president in the history of the Republic has done this. Yet Trump, Vance, & Hegseth do it constantly. It betrays the most important core value of our military-no partisan politics.

when we have discussions of how come we never ran into aliens if advanced intelligent life exists I think of this photo. That yellow dot marked there is not Earth, it is the extent that all human radio signals ever sent have traveled.
