Two brothers from South Texas and their high school mariachi bandmates were recognized by their congresswoman last June for winning a state mariachi competition. Nine months later, the brothers, along with their parents and younger brother, are in ICE detention and facing deportation.

Andy Beshear, we need KSP at the Man O' War Qwik Mart NOW

If Dem governors were good at theater they would send police out to guard gas stations because of all of the reported theft and fighting around gas pumps. Media is suppressing these reports that I'm now reporting.

Overheard at The Map Center:

"Josiah, put the compass down. You're not a pirate."
"But. But what if I was a pirate?"

My gf: remember, my dad's really into hockey, so talk to him about that

Me: ok cool

[later at dinner]

Me: so do you think the ice feels pain when the foot swords cut into it

It’s not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You don’t dispute this claim because it’s true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by “Iranian state media”

Could not agree more. The Democrats plan of wanting to keep our troops out of pointless foreign wars while fully funding and staffing the VA is how you actually support vets and military families.

Remember this when voting in November.

again, so fucking what! voters don't get more interested as you cry into your beer that they should care about the things you want them to care about. as a candidate your whole job is selling yourself to them.

bad news! you are responding to the wrong argument! the people who wanted trump are indeed monsters! they were never going to vote for Harris, though. OP was blaming voters on the left who *opted out* of voting for a candidate who wouldn't criticize the demolition of Gaza.

YES!

the dumbest form of politics is yelling at voters after you lose. if you lose it is *always* your fault. every confounding factor in the universe is your job to overcome. if you take a position that is unpopular and don't adjust to learning that, you are bad at running for office.

Please let all be crystal clear:

Republicans take away OUR FREEDOM as AMERICAN PARENTS to choose safe and effective vaccines for our children! Republicans in '25-'26 have limited access to:

-the flu vaccine
-chickenpox vaccine
-Heb B vaccine

THAT is what Republicans do. Vote out these bums.

It’s pretty clear that Trump now realizes that all the anti-vaxx activism by RFK Jr & Drs Bhattacharya, Kulldorff, Høeg, & Prasad is hugely unpopular with the public & is a liability in the mid-terms

Prasad is out

And RFK Jr is being muzzled—he’ll just keep talking about “real food” until Nov

You need to read this thread

Jay Bhattacharya should not have been allowed anywhere near NIH leadership

He has shown—over & over—that he will impede the careers of early career researchers

He told my Duke colleague, a young post-doc who studies health disparities, that his science was “bad”

"Judge them by their fruits"

Please journalists, look at what RFK Jr. is doing - limiting American parents' access to safe and effective vaccines for our children in myriad ways - not what he's saying because who cares. He has fearmongered against vaccines for children for 20 years!

I really, really, really need reporters to stop saying that the Trump administration’s MAGA/MAHA leaders are “pivoting away” from anti-vaxx rhetoric ahead of the mid-terms

If you write this, you’re really, really, really not paying attention

At all.

Sources: Trump Is Dangerously Close to Sending Troops to Iran Advisers are urging the president ‘to go bigger to end this once and for all.’

NEW (!) — Sources say Trump has been positively receptive to officials & allies privately encouraging him to send troops on the ground into Iran.

Comes amid revelations that Lindsey Graham has gone to Israel and coached Netanyahu on how to persuade Trump to take action in Iran.

collecting scrap metal for the war effort (stealing a cybertruck and driving it into a gate at a military base)

I bought a denim shirt with embroidery on it but I’m going to tell people I thrifted it.

The thing about shopping for dressy shirts when you’re my age is asking yourself Am I OK with looking a decade older?

Trump demands Iran's 'unconditional surrender' as Israel says it hit leadership bunker 'with 50 jets' Tehran residents tell BBC Persian

In just six days we’ve gone from “Iranians take over your country” to “we’re open to talking with the new leadership of the regime” to “I want to pick the new leader” to now “unconditional surrender”.

A “concept of a plan”, indeed.
