How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Just one????

The Soprano Sorceress series by L.E. Modesitt Jr., which absolutely needs to become some kind of series featuring kristin chenoweth

The Kris Longknife series which is a bit cheesy but I love it, Mike Shepherd

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

A pinky-promise two months from now, for a possible vote that has like 10 different potential points of failure, while people continue to pay exorbitant prices on healthcare that would be universally covered in most other countries.

A+. Great job. Definitely giving me faith in the social contract.

Don't you dare fucking cave this weekend. 40 days of no pay for ATCs and SNAP benefits yanked around on a chain just so you can give them everything they wanted anyways?

Don't you fucking dare, coward.

32-dear Hades 2 run complete. Maybe I can FINALLY put the game down after like a hundred and fifty hours.

…. just a few more runs to clear the fate list. And one or two more romances to complete. And I might as well level up the last couple keepsakes.

It's going slow for me but I'm also not putting in full effort

That being said, I've seen people describing it as getting rid of 'food noise' and I think that's pretty accurate. I'm not eating half a pizza for dinner anymore, or snacking constantly, and that's helping a lot.

I hear ya pal. Ground beef by itself is ten bucks a pound.

almost glad I'm on wegovy just because it makes grocery shopping cheaper

If it's any consolation that's MUCH better than opening it up and finding a bunch of live ones

of course it's in fucking saudi arabia

I'm getting kinda tired of text takes. Cartoons with one person saying an awful thing and then three panels of 6-paragraph righteous rants against the thing. big obvious tumblr statements followed by two sentences. the people who actually need to read that stuff never, ever will, you know?

Their inability to understand RCV, and in many cases refusal to learn about it whatsoever, does not mean it is unfair.

And not the severe incorporation of terrible AI?

I hear ya. There’s a store in town that takes old books and I’ve brought them three bins full so far. Sometimes you just gotta make some space.

Teen Vogue has been doing incredible politics work for almost a decade. This is a terrible development.

That one’s easy! When they go ‘hey that can’t have happened’ you smile and go

‘Yes… that’s correct. So what REALLY happened?’

and then the players frantically go on a mystery solving quest where you reroute them for another hundred hours while desperately coming up with something else

oh no it's adorable

Holy shit what a fit my dude

Adding a clock ticking to that monster theme makes it SO much more intimidating.

Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_ BREAKING: Per four senior DHS & Trump admin sources, a mass removal of ICE leadership around the country is underway, with up to 12 ICE field office chiefs being removed & reassigned in an effort to increase deportation numbers. I'm told the move is spearheaded by Corey Lewandowski, and a handful of the ICE Chiefs will likely be replaced by Border Patrol & CBP officials, some of whom will be hand-picked by aggressive & controversial Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino. I'm told some of the ICE leadership removed from their positions include the ICE Field Office Directors in: - Los Angeles - Phoenix - Philadelphia - Denver - El Paso - San Diego - Seattle/Portland - New Orleans Border Patrol officials taking over ICE leadership positions would be extremely significant, as Border Patrol and ICE do different things, and I've done numerous ride-alongs/embeds with both.

Generally speaking, ICE typically conducts very targeted operations, largely going after criminal illegal aliens or those with deportation orders, but almost always knowing who they are targeting for arrest, often conducting surveillance to learn their schedules before and waiting hours before arresting them if needed. Border Patrol, under Trump 2.0, while sometimes doing their own targeted operations, has been extremely aggressive and has been at the forefront of some of the most controversial immigration enforcement operations we've seen so far, carrying out roving patrols in Los Angeles, Chicago, etc, often at Home Depot, car washes, flea markets etc, leading to a handful of federal judges around the country issuing injunctions against them. A majority of the viral videos you see online are Border Patrol agents, including the use of a Trojan horse style Penske moving truck at a Los Angeles Home Depot, an operation organized by Bovino. ICE often gets blamed for what Border Patrol does, as the media and activists often cannot tell the difference between federal agents, and everyone is called "ICE". I'm told there are growing concerns about the political and PR fallout associated with some of the roving patrols Border Patrol is conducting as lawsuits continue to stack up and mid-terms approach next year.

I'm told there is significant friction within different wings of DHS and the administration, with Border Czar Tom Homan & ICE Director Todd Lyons preferring to prioritize targeting criminal aliens & the "worst of the worst" or those with deportation orders, while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, and BP Commander Bovino prefer to use aggressive tactics to arrest anyone in the US illegally, including but not limited to criminals, to ramp up deportation numbers and achieve President Trump's promises of mass deportations. I am hearing from both sides of this friction. One senior DHS official tells me: "ICE started with the worst of the worst, knowing every target they are hitting, but since Border Patrol started in LA in June, we've (DHS) lost our focus, going too hard, too fast, with limited prioritization. It's getting numbers, but at what cost?". Border Patrol agents I've talked to defend their tactics, with one telling me: "What did everyone think mass deportations meant? Only the worst? Tom Homan has said it himself, anyone in the US illegally is on the table."

It's quite a situation, as both sides of this are on the same team, with the same end goals, but different perspectives on how to get there. Another DHS official confirmed the personnel changes to me on deep background, adding that the moves are based on performance and doing what is needed to achieve the best results. Official statement to @FoxNews via @TriciaOhio : "While we have no personnel changes to announce at this time, the Trump Administration remains laser focused on delivering results and removing violent criminal illegal aliens from this country." 7:57 PM · Oct 27, 2025 · 29.6K Views

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

I know we’re not what you want

But can you take us anyways

Well give me some!

I mean, you’ll notice they’re going after people at work, at church, out shopping. Like any bullies, they’re going after people that they think won’t or can’t fight back.
