YALL WHAT ON EARTH IS THIS ARTICLE? Did one of Phil Berger’s appointments to the BOG ghost write it?
This headline makes it seem as though “education” is a policy priority of Berger’s! He cares about education as a slightly left-leaning public good so he’s been destabilizing it for almost 2 decades!
I profiled Jason Chavez, the Minneapolis city council member who has been embedded in community efforts to combat ICE.
“To leave your constituents to face off with a racist fascist regime on their own, without having someone that has some power…I could not let my constituents be out there alone.”
At this point we need to be asking every dem non for senate “how do we know you won’t betray your constituents like Kaine, Slotkin, Peters, and Shaheen have, over and over again?”
How is it that Thom freaking Tillis is willing to take more drastic action on Trump than TIM KAINE?!

My bet, placed here on the SiroSkyMarket: Polymarket didn’t shut this bet down because of the bad press, they shut it down because they know they’re making big bucks off these inside bets and they don’t want specific sleuthing into any obvious insider betting instance (better to have a diffuse

The United States went to war with Iran because Israel wanted to and then bombed a SCHOOL where hundreds of little girls and teachers were murdered AND YET there is something about this evac and these smug, smiling faces that simultaneously makes my blood boil *and* me want to cry
One other key thing: The DHS's inspector general identifies multiple instances in which DHS is restricting access to information related to ICE and CBP, making it impossible for the IG to examine data/procedures. That's crying out for more scrutiny.
Here's the letter that caused Thom Tillis to erupt at Kristi Noem. The DHS inspector general claims DHS leaders "systematically obstructed" his inquiries, including in something related to a "specific pending criminal investigation."

I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.

NEW: Four federal judges have formed a firewall against ICE in West Virginia — and say they’ll punish state and federal officials of they continue detaining people in ways they have ruled illegal and unconstitutional.

I just had to watch an unrelated press conference where Trump said he “keeps saying he’s going to appoint this guy to the Supreme Court and he would get 100 votes bc all the Dems would vote for him because they hate him and all the republicans would vote for him bc they want him gone” (re: Cruz)

NEW: The USPS changed its rules on how it postmarks ballots.
