STEPHANOPOULOS: A federal judge blocked the effort to deploy troops in Chicago & said a lot of claims made in court filings lack credibility

JD VANCE: We're obviously gonna litigate this as much as we can. We think we have the authority to provide proper security to our citizens all over the US.

even now, I will never ever give Brewers fans the satisfaction of hating their team. Go make a rivalry with the Reds, losers.

Noted good guy Adam Amin is calling the shit out of this game btw. A real multi-sport talent in the mold of Nantz or McDonough

Grassley to Bondi: "It's all pointing out the wrong of using the power of government to go after people -- political people you don't like. We're pointing this all out because we can't have this repeated in the United States."

this feels like reverse 2015 in a way I hate

Tim Stewart @timstwrt.bsky.social · 5d

ICE now conducting “Kavanaugh stops” on entire buildings at once:

Walter Olson @walterolson.bsky.social · 11d

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’”

It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.
