I Will Believe It When I See It
I have been using it since the days when people online were sure that the Orange guy was going to go to jail for his many crimes. Still waiting.
I may be the only one that uses it 😉

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Not sorry but, #IWBIWISI
Somebody needs to arrest at least one for assault to force the government's hand.

Chicago pastor sues Trump admin after allegedly being shot by ICE agents Rev. David Black alleges ICE shot him without warning in Broadview; joins suit over protester rights violations.

www.newsweek.com/chicago-past...
One of the plaintiffs, Rev. David Black, who leads First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, says he was taking part in a prayer vigil outside the Broadview ICE facility when officers opened fire on him without warning.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

So, does this mean they will fire on and/or arrest any ICE person who assaults a protester bodily or with any kind of spray or projectile?
And how about Journalists who are also being attacked by ICE and others?
How about other "federal" forces?

Check out @grahamformaine.bsky.social. He looks like a fantastic choice for Mainers!

He’s on the move to meet with as many folks as he can. One day. Five hundred miles. Three town halls in small town Maine. Four hundred people.

He vows not to leave a person or place behind.

How's it Gonna Be?

Aftyn Behn will fight to lower costs for working Tennessee families and stand up for the people of the 7th congressional district.

Onward to the special election on December 2!

I sure hope there is some lawyer or law firm out there to gather together every #furloughed employee who does NOT receive back pay, for a YUGE class action suit against wannabe #kingtrump, and whoever is responsible for cutting those checks.

I find Lawrence Welk and his orchestra more "alive" than Lee Greenwood ever could be.

AP: Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar

Children around the world have died because Trump and Musk needlessly destroyed USAID. These are some of their stories.

With All due respect, Secretary Clinton, the people in this administration, and their GOP sycophants don't care what #WeThePeople have to say, no matter how loud we say it.
It is up to our Elected Representatives to speak out and do something to alleviate this. It's what we voted for them to do.

If "states' rights" mean anything, they must include the right to not get invaded by another state in peacetime.

So while I am waiting for my Soros Payment for the last #NoKIngs rally, my 5K #DOGE savings refund, and my 1-3K #TariffRebate, I was hoping that we would at least find out how Obama, Hillary, and Biden caused the disappearance of Amelia Earhart.

Speaker Johnson. Do what you said you would do.
Swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social

Per wannabe #kingtrump and hegseth, all these guys should be fired. Not one in this pic would pass a weight test.

It’s sad that some folks only ‘see the light’ when it hits home. We were sent here to represent hundreds of thousands of people, not just our households.

It’s time for Republicans to remember their oath and do right by the people they serve.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

Federal courthouse in EDVA, with line of people out front and a guy holding a “show trial” sign

Good morning from the line outside the courthouse in the Eastern District of Virginia, where former FBI director James Comey is set to be arraigned on federal charges.

I’m here for @lawfaremedia.org.

Follow along for updates ⬇️

No sign of Comey at the courthouse yet, but some members of his family—including his daughter, Maurene Comey—just joined the line.

We’re going in and unfortunately no phones are allowed in court, but I’ll update when I can.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Nice, but exactly how will they enforce this?
Will they have police arrest any ICE person in one of those zones? #IWBIWISI
Somehow, I doubt it.
