But then you're sick of it before you're halfway through the case and it sits in the pantry until you move to a new house or is that just me.

I feel like they should have a special lil play up their sleeves for situations just like that but maybe I overestimate the existence of special plays.

Remember, these are the same geniuses who believe drug dealers are creating new customers by giving out fentanyl for Halloween.

I suggest you read the senator's quote again. He sure sounds ready to let people go without.

I have a better idea -- how about NOT passing laws to deny care to people?

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated'

The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

I love to see the billionaires' candidate (who is also a billionaire candidate) lose, and lose big.

I wish the American players had refused to play until the crowd stopped. That would have had an impact. And they should all be speaking out about this.

Here is the image with alt text

tuckermaymysteries My name is Tucker May. In April I married the love of my life, Barbara Marques. Right now I fear for her life.

A week and a half ago she was taken by ICE at our properly scheduled green card meeting at the Federal Building downtown. At the end of what we were told was a successful meeting, the officer used the excuse of a broken copier to trick her into walking away from our lawyer. Once separated from her legal counsel, she was arrested. The reason for her detention was a missed court date from 2019 which my wife was never notified about.

We have been working with lawyers since that time to correct the situation. The Adelanto detention center has actively been keeping my wife from correspondence with her lawyer by delaying in giving her documents that were mailed to the facility.

Last night, she was taken from the Adelanto facility to an undisclosed destination despite our lawyer having filed a temporary restraining order to stop this from happening. They could be sending her anywhere in the world and we have no way of knowing.

I'm asking for help in bringing to the attention of media and authorities these multiple lapses in due process and proper procedure through the unwarranted deportation of a woman whose legal marriage has been duly recognized as legitimate by immigration through the 1130 petition process.

Please, if you have any contacts who could help, send them this information.

With government funding set to expire Tuesday, Speaker Johnson refuses to bring the House back.

He knows seating Adelita Grijalva, just elected in Arizona, would trigger a vote on the Epstein Files.

Putting politics ahead of governing is reckless and wrong.

Ohhhh I had a bad experience with a large Mission Shipwrecked IPA on an empty stomach. Did not know it was a double until I looked it up the next morning to answer the question, "Why don't I remember the end of the baseball game?"

It's disturbing and disgusting to see how many "distinguished" people were happy to support a predator and dismiss his (as described by one a-hole in the story) "peccadilloes." It reveals how much people value money over the lives and wellbeing of girls.

Trump is absolutely cratering in new Quinnipiac poll:

Overall approval: 38-54
Approval on economy: 39-56
Approval on trade: 39-54
On National Guard into cities: 42-55
On immigration, his "best" issue: 41-55

Trump is weak, unpopular, and failing. Treat him that way:

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 14d

Trump/MAGA are trying to gaslight us into believing that anti-Jimmy Kimmel America is vast and deep, that MAGA's grip on the culture is unshakable, that mobilization is futile.

But this episode has demonstrated the opposite. Let's not forget it.

Thoughts on this:

Wow -- it's bad enough to claim you won't get a virus -- but the guy claiming it shrank tumors in someone with Stage 4 breast cancer? These people are shameless at best, murderers at worst.

This is probably the best description of Trump I've ever heard.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.
