I literally have an Americanized citizen that was originally from Mexico using threats of deportation to keep anyone from testifying against him and he has wracked up 5 or 6 cases now.

He literally told the cops, after he nearly beat someone to death, why aren't you deporting him? He's a "wetback"

Don't lull. It doesn't matter what random people tell you. Just because you have a deadline doesn't mean you have to wait until the last minute to release. I do not like the relax bullshit. People have been SCREAMING for the files for months. Deliver them now. They should've been ready. You knew it.
If you’re wondering why there’s a lull in the Epstein files discussion, it’s because the law that just passed gave Pamela Jo 30 days to release the files. So we’re all waiting to see how she tries to sabotage it. The discussion will pick back up in earnest on December 20th.

Chickens aren't even my favorite part. I like the pigs! And I also like the bunnies. If you're into animals.

But quilting and the cooking competitions are pretty awesome if you ask me.

**Full disclosure - I was a cooking 4H kid.

The also straight up lied to the faces of all of our Sheriffs in Oregon. 32 of the 36 sheriffs were there and they straight up lied about what was happening in our own communities.
I’ve heard many stories of how ICE is not following the law or honoring due process.

I'm at the Tacoma ICE facility to come see for myself and hold ICE accountable. From my visit, it was abundantly clear that ICE is lying.

Hear me out though! I think "don't take your shoes off and put them on the chair in front of you" is the first thing he's said that I agree with. So there's that.
"It honors our country."

Yeah, the thing that's going to bring America back to its glory days is me showing up for my Frontier Airlines flight in a tux.

I feel like a lot of countries are doing this and I don't think it's good for us.

I don't know about this phrasing sometimes. If the evidence isn't credible, then it's not evidence. So the statement should be there is no evidence. Period.
There is no credible evidence linking vaccines to autism.

I think this is the first change to Twitter policies or rules that I have liked in YEARS. I'm not on twitter anymore, but I wonder how many people are realizing their opinions were shaped by Russian bots now?
X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based.

For real! Deporting people who represented and defended this country with explicit promises of fast tracked citizen is bullshit.
They defended this country. They raised their hand and they swore to uphold the Constitution, and then they come home and we say, ‘Oh, thanks for your service, get out.’ It’s wrong.”

Yes, no man has ever admired me for my degree. Except that majority of the men I speak to on a daily basis are speaking to me to ask me advice pertaining to...... my degree.

I'm not a big conspiracy person, but what they are doing to Boebert would convince a NON-paranoid person to become paranoid!

Jesus guys. I'm glad they are bad at this.

So true! The worst people "well, actually" me on the difference between pedophilia and ephebiphilia and/or hebophilia! Like look, it really doesn't make a difference for most discussions unless you're being very academic!
Right now, Karoline Leavitt is being coached on how to say “ephebophilia” in the least creepy way possible.

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

I haven't had that happen here, but in a county that basically never had people falsely posing as cops, we've had people falsely posing as cops this last year (still just two, but that's up from zero!). Anyway, one was a registered sex offender taking to a 12 and a 13 to girls.
This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week.

Yeah. This is crazy. But it's literally what happens with publicly owned jails and prisons too. Don't you ever forget that
This is insane!!!

Private prison companies have documented cases of suing states for failing to meet their contractually guaranteed minimum bed occupancy quotas (often 80–100% full), or else the state must pay for the empty beds.

When conservatives try to convince me the Democratic party is dying because we're too liberal - this is what they're missing. That people are getting fed up with the Amy Schumer's and the Debra whatever her name is trying to tell us to MODERATE. We don't want to! And it's working!!!
The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.

The president and his allies came after him.

Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.

He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.

His politics can win anywhere.

There was an active federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged co-conspirators all the way until September, 2025 — and then it abruptly stopped.

Why did the DOJ spend years building it, only to have it suddenly transferred to DOJ headquarters and halted?
