Abolish ICE. Full stop. Any government agency that can kill people with no justification or accountability cannot be part of a civil society. It acts as though the rule of law does not apply to them.

Just saw something like this on the side of a barn in NE Ohio. Is anyone else really troubled by this? I get that it might be them mourning the inevitable dead that comes with military conflict but I’m pretty sure that is not the main point they are making.

Donald J. Trump + @realDonaldTrump
If Senate Republicans don't TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, the Dumocrats will, and I will be, despite how well our Party is doing, the last Republican President! The Dumocrats will vote in Puerto Rico (4% Republican Vote), and Washington, D.C. (3% Republican Vote), pick up 4 Senators, 8 Congressmen/women, tremendous numbers of Popular and Electoral College Votes and, importantly, control the Voting Mechanisms and Systems, both Legal and otherwise, throughout the United States. It will be impossible for Republicans to ever win an Election again. In other words, it will be THE END OF AMERICA! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J.

"For the first time since the Iran war began, JPMorgan says it no longer has a baseline view on oil, writing 'we simply don't know how to model the endgame,'" So JPMorgan is basically saying, they have no 'elfin idea how this is going to all end. Good to know. #wereBoned

BREAKING: For the first time since the Iran war began, JPMorgan says it no longer has a baseline view on oil, writing "we simply don't know how to model the endgame," and that the assumption that the Middle East disruptions are temporary is
"becoming increasingly difficult to sustain," per
JPMorgan Global Research.
The bank says it had assumed there were economic red lines the Trump administration would be unwilling to cross, and that six months later "many of those lines have been crossed, yet the exit strategy is less clear, not more."
Chevron's CEO said this week the Great fuel crisis has officially arrived, as Trump officials continue to claim the disruption temporary.
