Wow, she's not wrong about that! 😕
Plausible deniability, right?

Absolutely!

That doesn't look 'expressionless'. That looks more like "I'm going to stare you down until you buckle!"

Wow. When I watched the J6 Hearings, Rep. Bennie Thompson always showed a high degree of decorum.
So it's pretty obvious here, he's not hiding his disdain and disgust over Kristi Noem's and ICE's actions.
As Trump turns the federal government of the United States against Americans and America itself, the bill of particulars against him is already longer than the Declaration of Independence’s bill of particulars against King George III and the British empire.

The “message” is that judges who anger the administration will be prosecuted at Trump’s whim.

Discovered this morning, much to my horror, a packet of Scarlet Runner beans
I'd never planted. 😮
(I had forgotten, I ordered two packets; not just one.)
This is 2-3 weeks past optimum time to plant beans in this Zone (9a). So I hope they have time to produce before the
summer heat sets in!
If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.
