ICE: quit. Quit your job. Quit attacking CITIZENS for exercising their Constitutionally protected right to protest. "I was just following orders" is not a valid defense to prosecution.

I am an ally. If your family isn't supportive, I'm here. You are loved. You are appreciated. You are worth it.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

These guys are generally super far right. But he has had 'two on my watch' that were extraordinary. This one left 51 people needing rescue in a tiny village where homes were taken off their foundation, and people were swimming in frigid waters. I don't know these towns, but friends further north.

This is the closest you are going to see to an Alaskan governor admitting climate change contributes to the many extreme disasters.

I was once a federal agent and we had one man in our cohort who was close to the cap. I was told the cap was for ensuring each officer would be able to complete 20 years for their retirement stake before

Walz: "This cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences. Now is the time for us to recommit to the core values of this country ... Talk to a neighbor rather than arguing. Debate an issue. Shake hands. Find common ground. This is who Melissa Hortman was."

Domestic exploration has taken a pass at these price points, Supply disruption may entice them a little, but not if the whole thing could settle after they commit resources.

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed

Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

What’s interesting about the Oval Office fiasco is that it was Trump who repeatedly claimed during the campaign that he would end the war in β€˜24 hours’ and that he was a master negotiator.

Did the guy sulking, then berating Zelensky, then kicking him out, look or sound like a master negotiator?

Depends on how much the transport, distribution and the inputs to achieve harvest add to emissions, right? And waste.
Some fruit gets sent around the world before it gets moldy and is tossed into the garbage (or compost 🀞🏼). Otherwise, it may compare in per unit emissions.

And they had an atmospheric river too. My father has lived in Alaska since 1965 and I spent 11 years of my childhood there plus visit on occasion. This ain’t normal.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
