As y'all have probably heard, there has been a lot of ICE activity on the North Side of Chicago today. At least four people were kidnapped by ICE in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Folks mobilized throughout the day to do ICE Watch and Rapid Response work.

essentially no one looks worse in all this than Biden, followed closely by the tiresome, morally bankrupt blue wave scolds who shouted at all of us about how Biden couldn’t do anything

This week has confirmed my suspicion that Biden’s Middle East policies will look worse, and will be even more embarrassing for Democrats, with the passage of time.
