CBP puts the blame on legacy IT systems. To be blunt, while these problems may be completely valid, this is entirely the fault of the government.
DO NOT CONGRATULATE ๐คฃ
Iran is an evil regime and deserves to fall. But that's not a good argument for launching a war of regime change without Congress and against the will of the American people.
I say again - take this to heart
ANYTHING that can be built can be disassembled
ANYTHING that has been destroyed can be rebuilt
This is the cycle we are in. We build light - they try to bring the dark.
It is a forever bargain for the good of the world that we keep working.
There is no giving up
"The federal deadline for a consensus agreement on managing the Colorado River after 2026 is passing for a second time without resolution.The stakes couldn't be higher for our Lower Basin states of Arizona, California, and Nevada.Approximately 75% of the population, employment, and agricultural crop sales of the Colorado River Basin are in our states. This also includes 25 of the 30 sovereign Tribal Nations that live within the Basin. The Colorado River is essential to our communities and economies, and our states have conserved large volumes of water in recent years to stabilize the basin's water supplies for years to come. To secure a seven-state agreement for post-2026 management of the river, Arizona has offered to reduce its Colorado River allocation by 27%, California by 10%, and Nevada by nearly 17%. Our stance remains firm and fair: all seven basin states must share in the responsibility of conservation. Our shared success hinges on compromise, and we have offered significant flexibility, allowing states without robust conservation programs time to gradually develop these programs in ways that work in each state. Our future management of the Colorado River must be built on a foundation of shared contribution and innovation, with all Colorado River water users stretching to conserve water. Our commitment to a collaborative outcome is unwavering, and we will continue to pursue a negotiated resolution while protecting our water users."
JOINT STATEMENT:
@governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom, Governor Katie Hobbs and Governor Joe Lombardo released the following statement on the Colorado River deadline:
Like Kendrick, political as hell precisely because it doesn't bother to acknowledge the haters. They're irrelevant, beneath attention. And nothing is more intolerable to fascists than the thought that their enemies are cool, enjoying themselves, and not thinking about them.
Just had a Super Bowl halftime where the singer:
1) boasts about the poor place heโs from;
2) boosts the value of agriculture;
3) celebrates small town life;
4) highlights the joy of inter-generational celebrations; and
5) promotes marriage.
And tomorrow, the MAGA movement will attack it.

Imagining wanting less of this in America lol. Skill issue
I hope he keeps flipping his circadian rhythm. More evidence of FTD and pushes him further to his inevitable end.

A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something โbetter.โ

I agree, but that isnโt likely to happen until the next admin. Rather than fight against that reality, Iโm choosing to acknowledge it and find a path through it so that accountability is possible, eventually
In the history of this country youโll find that the minority party never gets a meaningful concession out of a shutdown. Negotiating is an art and a science and to achieve anything you have to be realistic. Senate Dโs are doing that. if they get these reforms, it is a massive win.
Nothing can meaningfully change unless and until the Dโs win the midterms. Unfortunately for us right now, these are the consequences of the previous election. Canโt change the past so might as well deal the hand weโve been dealt. And itโs a really shitty hand.
So letโs game this out a bitโฆ if ICE is required to not wear masks, ID themselves, and record via body cams, thatโs โno real actionโ? That creates documentary evidence that can be used to prosecute these bastards when this regime falls. And it will fall.
I would rather see a realistic negotiation that achieves something than a fatalistic negotiation that looks good but achieves nothing. But maybe thatโs just me.
Rome wasnโt built in a day. This bill canโt and wonโt fix most of these issues. But take this small W now and keep building towards the finish line.
Similarly, not doing something because you think they (ICE) wonโt do it is acknowledging that theyโve already won. Yes, it is already illegal. Force elected Rโs to vote against not deporting citizens. Get them on record. And then, use this recent momentum to hold them accountable.
While I agree that there is no reforming ICE, defunding or abolishing it is not a realistic expectation right now. Starting a negotiation from an unachievable position is not strength; it shows the opposition that you are unserious and that they can disregard you.
What exactly are the weak agreeable demands you speak of? If they are so agreeable, why didnโt Rโs already agree to them, especially if they are so weak?
NO SENATE VOTE TONIGHT
Couldnโt get all senators to allow a speedy vote. Schumer tells reporters Lindsey Graham is blocking it. โThatโs the holdup,โ Schumer tells reporters. Graham wants to keep a provision letting him sue to pocket $500,000 over J6 phone records seized.

I appreciate your passion but feel that youโre undervaluing what actually happened and might have unreasonable expectations for what a minority party can accomplish through an appropriations bill.
