When Republicans say they have a secret plan to fix Obamacare, you should assume that this is the plan:

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Note: while not unprecedented, itโ€™s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. Itโ€™s just not generally what Catholic bishops do.

Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.

ICE detained a Virginia mom while she was driving her 16yo daughter to school bc she couldnโ€™t recall her SS#.

โ€œThe agent got flustered and lunged at her,โ€ said her daughter.

ICE arrested her even after she showed proof of legal status.

Donald J. Trump 2 O @realDonaldTrump
If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. Will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, "guns-a-blazing," to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians!
WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT
BETTER MOVE FAST!

Following on from my post yesterday, in case there was any doubt, Trump is threatening war with Nigeria.

Nigeria has a population of nearly 233 million.

I'm jealous at all this chocolate.

My kids bag had a small percentage of chocolate and a very large percentage of gummy based candy.

Weird tide turning. Remember that MTG only cares about this issue not because of the moral basis or her constituents, but that her adult children told her THEIR healthcare costs were about to rise enormously. Egotism and selfishness serves the public interest for once.

One night recently, I got a Signal message

Would I be interested in seeing an internal Trump admin memo?

I said yes (duh). Then, I couldnโ€™t believe what I was looking at.

The memo shows how the VA is making access to health coverage header for just one group:

Male vets w/ breast cancerโ€ฆ.

Another crucial thing to know about a plan like this is that ICE has over 7 million people on its โ€œnon-detainedโ€ docket โ€” people who it knows about and believes are removable. Many are currently in some sort of process, but over a million have final orders already, so are high priority for arrest.

A deeply disturbing plan, but one thing important to clarify here is that these contracts would be for skiptracing, i.e. establishing locations, and NOT for carrying out arrests.

So this would not see private contractors grabbing people โ€” although it could mean contractors surveilling immigrants.

On Halloween, โ€˜state-sponsored terrorโ€™ in Chicago and the north suburbs Despite pleas from Gov. JB Pritzker to pause federal immigration enforcement operations while children celebrate Halloween, Border Patrol agents tore through Chicago and the suburbs.

In Albany Park, they fired pepper-spray balls and arrested U.S. citizens.

In Evanston, a weapon was repeatedly pointed at protesters.

They grabbed workers in Hoffman Estates, landscapers.

And house painters and laborers in Edison Park, Skokie and Niles.

โ€œFeels like state-sponsored terror."

These seem to be the three legs to the Trump regime's political stool, if you consider Trump, Vought, and Miller as the three centers of power:

Corruption (Trump)
Extreme conservative ideology (Vought)
Fascism (Miller)

A Halloween parade float with the gates of Auschwitz

A Halloween parade float with the gates of Auschwitz

Evidently there was an Auschwitz-themed float in a Halloween parade in Pennsylvania.

The float was for a Catholic school, and to their credit the church immediately disavowed it.

Thing is, I donโ€™t think high school kids did this entirely on their own. Iโ€™m guessing parents had to be involved.

This kid was determined to trick or treat at houses, continuous rain be damned.

It's fun that she can read now, because she read this no soliciting sign and then turned and looked at me like she wasn't supposed to knock for candy given the sign.
