About that supreme court decision - shouldn't any single member of congress be able to sue to stop the ballroom? By forgoing congress's authority - hasn't that stripped even minority members of their power of the purse? Because it denies them the ability to even negotiate for their vote.

This is absolutely WILD. Here's the dashboard video posted by @fritschner.bsky.social. Fast forward to about 1 minute. An ICE officer jumps out of a van and pulls a gun on this woman immediately before lying and claiming she "almost ran us over." *profanity warning if watching in public.
Aaron Fritschner@fritschner.bsky.social · last mo.Video of an ICE agent pulling a gun on a wife and mother, who is a US citizen born and raised in the area, near Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia yesterday. Chillingly, they claimed she “almost ran them over” until she told them she had video proving that was a lie.

My unvaccinated brother died of COVID in 2021. I was about a year and a half into my epidemiology career. Healthcare staff did absolutely everything they could but they cannot cure ignorance. They cannot cure an anti-science belief and culture. Thats YOUR responsibility. Not Dr. Fauci’s.
Anyone want to take bets? Did Musk pay to organize the migrant influx on Cueta?
OUTRAGEOUS! DHS officers in Portland detained an Indigenous activist wearing the MMIW handprint outside the ICE facility. Suppressing peaceful demonstrators exposes the deep disregard for native lives. Indigenous sovereignty and human rights cannot be silenced.

A 3-year-old girl watched ICE murder her father yesterday. We all watched Sebastian Guerrero’s final moments through our phones. We can scroll away — but Sebastian’s 3-year-old daughter cannot.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
What really frustrates me here is that no amount of security funding will or even should protect public servants that show a blatant disregard for the populace - yet they continue to spend my tax $$ to reduce the impact of their decisions: www.cnbc.com/2026/07/14/s...
