In November 2025, Border Patrol announced it would be coming to Charlotte, North Carolina. We only had a few days’ notice. Just like in Chicago and Los Angeles, they weren’t coming to “keep the peace....

This is happening across the entire country; prosecutions are down because federal agents are rounding up migrants instead.
NEW: President Trump has repeatedly threatened to bring federal agents, or even soldiers, to San Francisco to battle crime. His administration has actually done the opposite, quietly taking federal law enforcement away from the city to do immigration work instead.

Sixteen percent of voters decided the future of Texas by approving amendments that permanently shift power upward. These were not routine updates. They were structural rewrites passed when almost no one was looking.

NEW: President Trump has never before been in such an echo chamber

His domestic travel has basically stopped. He sees rich donors and MAGA media, not actual voters

Everyone around him is saying he is right. But polls show more Americans think he is wrong www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
Trump Has Never Been More Isolated
Even Trump’s allies worry that he has become out of touch with what the public wants.

We all need some ice skating in our lives in the winter. Here are some places in the DC area. Although small, skating in the Sculpture Garden and looking up at the National Archives building is pretty spectacular, and a great break or end of the work day downtown. www.axios.com/local/washin...

Carolers raise their voices in a Home Depot parking lot in song. Their message to stop deportations gets attention, hits hard, & gets support.

If you are like me and can’t sing, join me in boycotting Home Depot & let them know helping ICE will cost them money. #WeAintBuyingIt
