Y'know what's most upsetting about ICE's Brown Shirt tactics?

We're paying for them. Those guys are taking our tax money to grab people from their homes and cars, beat on them, shoot them, and face no punishment.

The American people are WAY BIGGER & MORE POWERFUL than the Regime and their ICE minions.

We CAN beat them. We can.

I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon

Trump considers cutting US refugee intake to 7,500, focusing on white South Africans, officials say President Donald Trump is considering admitting far fewer refugee into the U.S. this year – as few as 7,500, and mostly white Afrikaners.

Texas proudly invading Illinois.

It’s of note that during tonight’s hearing the DoJ didn’t even try to make the case that changing conditions on the ground in Portland warranted the CA National Guard. Instead they relied on legal technicalities. Proving again that what they say in court is different than lies they tell the public.

β€œThe National Guard provides trained units to the states, territories and the District of Columbia to protect life and property. The primary job of the National Guard is to defend the location to which it belongs and respond to state disasters and needs, such as earthquakes, floods or pandemics.”

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

We estimate that ACA marketplace enrollees will see their out-of-pocket premiums increase by 114% if enhanced tax credits are not extended. That translates to an average premium increase of $1,016 per enrollee.

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

BREAKING:

The Supreme Court just rejected Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal of her criminal conviction for recruiting and grooming teenage girls for sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein.

The decision means that her conviction and 20-year criminal sentence remain in place.

Sending Guardsmen into other states is only going to get more unpopular from here, and could very well turn into a liability for every R candidate in a competitive gubernatorial race next year.

Ds certainly should be running against it.

ICE is firing pepper bullets and deploying smoke grenades in Portland, even though protesters are remaining in their designated area and peacefully dancing.

I might say more later, but for now "Don't take the bait" is really pissing me off. It is the liberal message of cowardice that the privileged will hide in their houses and blame the most vulnerable populations when the Regime attacks.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

CDC Immunization Schedule Adopts Individual-Based Decision-Making for COVID-19 and Standalone Vaccination for Chickenpox in Toddlers
  
ATLANTAβ€”October 6, 2025β€” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today updated its adult and child immunization schedules to apply individual-based decision-making to COVID-19 vaccination and recommend that toddlers receive protection from varicella (chickenpox) as a standalone immunization rather than in combination with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination.The immunization schedules adopt recent recommendations by the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which were approved last week by Acting Director of the CDC and Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services Jim O’Neill. The schedules will be updated on CDC.gov by October 7, 2025.

The acting CDC director has finally signed off on the vaccine advisory panel's recommendations for the COVID vaccines.

While the CDC is trying to sell this as a win for antivaxxers, in reality this means that COVID vaccines will be more accessible than they have been in recent weeks.

Part of Leavitt’s justification for the Guard in Portland: people are β€œdisrespecting” ICE and engaged in β€œcivil disobedience.”

Section 12406 allows deployment only in the event of foreign invasion, a rebellion, or inability to enforce federal laws.

Not disrespect and disobedience.
