🚨 WATCH: ICE agents were seen handing out bottles of water to passengers as lines stretched to the FOUR HOUR mark this morning at the Houston Airport I don’t care what anyone says: ICE agents are truly good dudes.

ICE pays bounties to local cops for arresting immigrants for civil infractions and then sending them to ICE, which helps fill the ICE arrest quotas. What an insane set of incentives

@ECalifornians "Why gamble with taxpayer money ..." on stupid, immoral and illegal policies. Sadly, because it's not their money and our media works tirelessly to ensure there's no accountability

Why gamble with taxpayer money on policies likely to be challenged in court? ACA-7 invites expensive lawsuits, legal uncertainty, and years of avoidable conflict instead of stable, durable rules.

Hello Senator Thune, Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation." You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process. Here's how we know: Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you. Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work: Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill. Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results. Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess. Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate. You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months. Now let's talk donors: • Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user • Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify • Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration • Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail." Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable. We see the loop. You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed. What we want: 1. Force a real talking filibuster. 2. Stop hiding behind process. 3. Pass the SAVE America Act. YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents. You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time. Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.

Head of the EPA Lee Zeldin confirms many of the NGO’s that received the $20 billion dollars sent by the EPA were created RIGHT BEFORE the money was sent “These NGOs were created for the first time, many of them just to get this money and their pass-throughs” (WOW) Barack Obama and Joe Biden Admins members specifically implicated, “it's going to people who are in the Obama and Biden administrations, it's going to donors. It's billions, tens of billions of dollars going through their friends. At the end of this, what's it like 5% of this money actually goes towards the environment.” Barack Obama’s friends and donors are receiving our stolen money. THIS IS INSANE

@SamaHoole "Martin's ancestors were, on the whole, significantly leaner" I'm always struck by those posts showing photos of the 1970s and all the people skinny. So ... Martin doesn't need to go back to the Bronze Age. Just to his grandparents' time.

Martin's ancestors have been watching for some time. They would like it noted, for the record, that they are not happy. 7:00am - Martin has a low-fat yoghurt. The fat has been removed and replaced with modified maize starch, pectin, and acesulfame potassium. His great-great-grandmother, who churned butter for a living in a farmhouse in Tipperary, makes a noise that has no translation in modern English. 7:30am - Martin has a bowl of bran flakes with skimmed milk. His ancestor from the Bronze Age, who ate organs, bone marrow, and rendered fat from large ruminants, sits down heavily and puts his face in his hands. 9:00am - Martin's mid-morning snack is a rice cake. It has 28 calories. His Viking ancestor, who was built like a wardrobe and ate herring, mutton tallow, and fermented dairy, stares at the rice cake with an expression of profound anthropological grief. 12:00pm - Lunch is a chicken salad with fat-free dressing. Martin has removed the skin from the chicken. He has removed the only part of the chicken that contains any meaningful fat-soluble nutrition. His grandmother, who grew up eating dripping on toast and died at 91 with no metabolic disease, watches in silence. 3:00pm - Martin has a 97-calorie cereal bar. His Palaeolithic ancestor does not know what a cereal bar is. He does not need to. He can see what it is doing to Martin's waistline compared to what it is doing to his mood. He files this information. 6:00pm - Dinner: lean mince (5% fat), brown pasta, and a tomato sauce from a jar. Martin has tracked all of this in My Fitness Pal. He is 14 calories under his goal. He is also, by any sensible hormonal reading, still hungry. 8:00pm - Martin has a low-fat ice cream. His ancestors, collectively, watch him eat a product that is technically both a food and an industrial experiment, and they decide, as a group, to stop watching for the evening. 9:30pm - Martin cannot sleep. He is thinking about food. He has been thinking about food since approximately 11am. His ancestors are not thinking about food. They are thinking about other things. Martin's ancestors were, on the whole, significantly leaner. This is the part Martin finds hardest to explain.

Trump is NOT escalating this into a major ground war. Let me spell this out with crayons. I’m a US Merchant Marine Captain, O6 (not O3) equivalent. We are a tiny forgotten service with one MF overarching specialty: moving escalatory armies overseas. It’s true a general like McChrystal has far more knowledge about what to do AFTER his tanks roll off our ships. But BEFORE those tanks roll off? They are OUR cargo. We are the specialists. We climb all around those tanks. We secure them, move them, deliver them. Our Commandant, who I talk to every single week, is in charge of that lift. Not whatever general is waiting on the pier. Right now we are in the BEFORE stage. I absolutely 💯 know more about this than any general because I have spent decades training and living the life for THIS MOMENT. When generals want to move escalatory army divisions overseas, they call us. We don’t specialize in every branch. Naval, Air Force, USMC, Special Forces movements have their own lift pipelines. We can help, but that’s not our core mission. But if you want to escalate a war with heavy ground forces? I get a call. The Air Force has already called us to move more bombs into theater. So yes, the air campaign can escalate. But there are ZERO plans to escalate this into a large scale ground invasion. ZERO. This cannot be done by airlift. The USAF can’t even get their own bombs overseas right now, let alone divisions of army units. And if I do get the call, it will be months before we are landing tanks.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ So I repeat… this CAN NOT turn into a major war without my phone ringing. You can send Marines and air assault units without tanks to do raids but a major landing force like McChrystal is talking about just is not happening. Not yet. Not for months, if ever. And when it does happen I will tell you because you can’t move Army divisions in secret. Not since the Army, in a moment of idiocy, sold off its Merchant Marine preposition fleet last year.

@johnkonrad @DavidAFrench Yet another guy who thinks he knows more about war then a general who spend decades training and living the life. John must of acquired all his knowledge of battle from watching war movies while he was sitting in his nice comfy and SAFE cabin while sailing around the world.

🚨🇩🇰 Mette Frederiksen stood up to Trump, defended Greenland, and became one of Europe's most celebrated leaders. Last night, her party just had its worst election result since 1903. It turns out Danes had bigger concerns than Trump’s desire for Greenland. Frederiksen may still survive through coalition negotiations. But the lesson is clear: standing up to Trump isn’t enough.

The GOP Senate is using… Pro Forma sessions to stop POTUS Trump from making recess appointments. Blue Slip tradition to stop POTUS Trump from filling judicial positions. Zombie Filibuster to stop POTUS Trump from securing elections. Denying their constituents. Treasonous.

Just imagine if he treated criminal illegal aliens like this? Imagine locking up those people and telling them they won’t be released and will be deported. But no. Larry’s fantasy is locking up American law enforcement agents for doing their jobs as instructed by the President.

Philly DA Larry Krasner threatens ICE agents working at the airport with arrest: "The president cannot pardon you. I will put you in handcuffs. And if necessary, I will put you in a jail cell." Krasner was promising to hunt down ICE agents like Nazis a couple of months ago.
