This article heavily implies that ICE is being used in a custody dispute to help Karoline Leavitt's brother get his son and have the mother locked up in ICE detention
"A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts."

IMO, while there's always a fair amount of politics interfering with lawmaking, we've had nothing the past few years. The bipartisan _children's cancer_ package went down last year. If you're in it to actually make improvements and you're not able to even move the most basic, bipartisan things...
PUNCHBOWL: “.. GOP members messaged us over the weekend saying that they, too, are considering retiring in the middle of the term. Here’s one particularly exercised senior House Republican:

Here’s a non-Thanksgiving turkey tip: if you have a reliable local barbecue spot and they make smoked turkey and you’ve never had whatever kind of turkey sandwich they make with it, it will probably change your life
it is tired to the point of cliche to say if turkey was good, people would make it more than once a year. but it is understated that at least one American explodes every Thanksgiving in a brave attempt to make the main dish more palatable

Did I need a couple of bialys in addition to the pastries I'm already picking up from Capitol Jill this afternoon? Yes, yes I did.

Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.

trying hard not to argue with the person who obviously does not know their woso history. if you think long time Spirit fans haven’t been in the trenches, you simply haven’t been an NWSL fan that long.

To every single player, coach, staff, and employee at the @washingtonspirit.com, you embraced this District and gave us something to believe in. Thank you for allowing us to embrace you back. Thank you for giving us that foundation of belief.

We'll be back stronger next year. And we'll dominate.

Marimar Martinez is a US citizen who was shot by ICE five times in Chicago.

She was then arrested, labelled a “domestic terrorist” and slandered on social media.

All charges against her have been dropped.

In this interview she shows on of the seven holes the ICE agent put in her body.

I know we’re all gonna crash out and rightfully so. But let’s remember what this team was in the beginning of the year. They were broken with a laundry list of injuries, a coach who lost the locker room, and a grueling schedule and they managed to be the number 2 seed.

I still think Hal was the best player on the pitch tonight. I really feel bad for the kid.

i know i'm close to it and all but but i like that he wanted to give a player he's rode with since day one — and who was having a terrific game — time to stay in a championship game
I’m not gonna shit on Adrian cause that man pulled out a hell of a season with the spirit. But that sub is probably gonna haunt him for a bit

This is the flip side of the substitution: the Spirit have had an unshakable faith in one another, it's where all those last-second game-winning/equalizing goals came from this year.

Definitely easy to say "make the sub" for media as outsiders, we don't have those same bonds with that group.
That decision to make the sub in the moment is absolutely going to be talked about for a minute but in the grand scheme of things the unity this team has is a product of what Gonzalez has done this season and i look forward to what he will be able to do with this team in 2026

And also when we look back at the overall journey, it was a hell of a season:

• Challenge Cup win
• Trin, Rose, Casey all with epic result changing goals
• Aubrey playoff heroics once again
• Beating Orlando in Orlando—twice!
• Just watching them persevere

Bring on 2026, come what may until then

If there’s a rally at Audi next week like there was last year after the final, go if you can make it. These players who gave it all for us this season will need us now more than ever.

So… new this year? Press got rushed off the field after the trophy lift.

Some might call that a lost opportunity for storytelling!

Love this team 💛💚

They struggled against injuries, coaching changes, a city under siege all season long & still made it to the final.

May next year be better 🥺

Adrian made a critical mistake at a crucial time but he’s a hell of a coach and one I’m proud to have as our leader. He’ll bounce back and the team will bounce back.
