Denver mayor announces executive order banning ICE agents from city property Mayor Mike Johnston made the announcement on Thursday as a way to calm fears over recent ICE actions.

Last week, Denver’s mayor announced a new executive order that bans ICE agents from city property, citing the killing of protesters by federal agents in Minneapolis this year as motivation for the measure.

I’d love it if one the bigger accounts amplify this? Feels like a big deal for service members and spouses that the Army is cutting off obgyn services in literally the last week of pregnancy …. @klobuchar.senate.gov @baldwin.senate.gov @ocasio-cortez.house.gov @katmabu.bsky.social

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

I am educating my brother about Hoopla and Libby. He wanted me to help him buy him an audiobook on Spotify and I said, "But, WAIT! Do you have a library card? Cause, that audiobook you want to listen to? The library has the whole series! For freeeeeee!!!"

There are people who are going to get their money back for charging you more to get their money back.

This is the biggest heist of the 21st century.

So, just thought I would try this AI thing, and I am interacting with @google gemini. I asked it to do something banal, like make an image of Donald Trump surfing. It refused. I had no idea how scared these companies really are.

Conventional Estimates of Net Tariff Revenue Impact through 2035
 	IEEPA Tariffs	Legal Tariffs	Total Tariffs
CRFB	$1.8 trillion	$0.7 trillion	$2.5 trillion
Yale Budget Lab	$1.5 trillion	$1.2 trillion	$2.7 trillion
Tax Foundation	$1.5 trillion	$0.7 trillion	$2.2 trillion
Sources: Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, Yale Budget Lab, Tax Foundation. Note: Estimates reflect new tariffs enacted by the current Administration. Yale Budget Lab estimates do not include 2025 for “Legal Tariffs”.

This is a report that drove Scott Bessent particularly nuts last week, showing that the tariffs SCOTUS just threw out creates s huge hole in the budget (where taxes on oligarchs should be).

I especially like the distinction between IEEPA tariffs and actual legal ones.

Tweet from Doug Collins: Effective immediately, VA is halting enforcement of the interim final rule, Evaluative Rating: Impact of Medication.

VA issued the rule to clarify existing policy and protect Veterans’ benefits in the wake of an ongoing court action. But many interpreted the rule as something that could result in adverse consequences.

While VA does not agree with the way this rule has been characterized, the department always takes Veterans’ concerns seriously. To alleviate these concerns, VA will continue to collect public comments regarding the rule, but it will not be enforced at any time in the future.

BREAKING: SECVA Doug Collins has CANCELLED his effort to STRIP Veterans of their benefits thanks to MASSIVE backlash from We the People. WELL DONE and STAY LOUD!

ICE can't make warrantless arrests in Oregon unless there's risk of escape, judge rules U.S. immigration agents in Oregon must stop arresting people without warrants unless there's a likelihood of escape, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.

Oregon's U.S. District Court Judge, Mustafa Kasubhai, granted a preliminary injunction in a proposed class-action lawsuit targeting the DHS' practice of "arrest first, justify later."

“I want to know talk about human biology but can we just ignore blood and bones? And also organs. Tissue as well.”

We deserve so much better than the Dems we have. I'm so sorry we have to drag them kicking and screaming to do literally anything. But remember: two weeks ago Senate Dems were gonna let DHS be fully funded no problem. Now the whole country is talking dismantle ICE and DHS and fire Kristi Noem.

It's no coincidence they arrested Don Lemon and Georgia Fort right when more Epstein Files were released.
