BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.
‘I escaped a Russian prison — only to end up in an American jail’
Dozens of Russian dissidents have been expelled from the US and forcibly returned to Russia with the co-operation of immigration authorities

This is the most disgusting thing I have EVER READ.
Fuck Trump and Fuck Putin too.

My disorienting sense that I'm in some warped, parallel universe keeps getting worse.
I mean, how is it possible that the Pentagon is investigating people who urged soldiers to FOLLOW THE LAW?
What hell IS this? Since when did obeying laws become a CRIME? That's just surreal and insane.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas sent me a plan deal.
I now pay $571/month. They are increasing it to $836/month.
Yes, a $250+ increase. No subsidy.
They offered a lower cost option - $805/month - $31/month savings!
You can't make this up. I hope they go out of business.

Californians are buying ice scrapers at Home Depot, then immediately returning them....bogging down the entire store, until Home Depot refuses to allow ICE to loiter at their location to detain innocent people.

Those people who worked for Doge, knowing it was wrong, but grabbing for that golden ticket. They all need to face consequences. The Privacy act is a law. Their agency never existed. There are so many charges it's hard to know where to start. Charlie Brown would not approve.

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone except DOGE, which recklessly pulled funding from USAID, the government agency responsible for providing humanitarian aid to those who need it around the world. Now, an estimated 600,000 people have died, including 400,000 kids, because of DOGE's cuts.
