ICE arrested a Chicago father whose 16-year-old daughter has Stage 4 cancer. It’s spread to her bones, and she’s undergoing aggressive treatment to try to save her life. They don’t know if she’s going to make it—and all she wants is her dad back. This is cruel, and it’s not making anyone safer.

Ah yes, the cop tense. “The agent’s weapon discharged.” I have never seem any news outlet describe it this way when a civilian shoots someone.

Farmers voted for him again after his first disastrous presidency caused farmers to lose their farms, with some unaliving themselves after their loss. I don’t know if they will ever learn. #FAFO

ICE fired shots again, hitting a civilian and a U.S. marshal. DHS, once again, is claiming the man rammed ICE with his car. Let’s see how long before that version of events unravels. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

In what will be a surprise to absolutely no one, Trump’s second so-called summit with Putin, this time in Budapest, has been postponed, CNN reports.

Russia has refused to soften any of its extremist demands. Meanwhile plans for sanctions had been put on the back burner.

Victory Putin. Loser Trump.

Marco Rubio's Deal With El Salvador Even More Evil Than You Thought
The devil always wants to dance!
That sleazy deal Marco Rubio made to trade informants for access to a concentration camp is worse than you thought:
www.wonkette.com/p/marco-rubi...
And now it turns out that behind the scenes the deal was even dirtier than it seemed at the time. The Washington Post reports that Secretary of State Marco Rubio made another secret agreement with Bukele: to turn over nine members of MS-13, ones who were informants that had made deals to cooperate with the US government. Not just any informants, either, but ones who had dirt on how Bukele allegedly met with top members of MS-13 numerous times between 2012 and 2015, while mayor of San Salvador, and quid pro quo-ed them to reduce the number of “public murders” to help himself get elected president, in exchange for plushy prison conditions or release. In one instance, a Bukele official even hid a gang member who went by Crook de Hollywood in a luxury apartment, then gave him a gun, and drove him to the Guatemalan border. He eventually wound up back in the US, where Joe Biden’s DOJ picked him up again in 2022. Not only that, “US authorities suspected Bukele’s government had used U.S. Agency for International Development programs to benefit MS-13’s leaders, according to three people familiar with the investigation.”
