ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

Zelensky, Macron and Starmer sign declaration of intent on future multinational force deployment in Ukraine as part of a potential peace deal with Russia. This also marks the beginning of a European Army led by the France, UK, and Germany to replace NATO.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. There’s no vote required if he wants to release them! The only reason the house was voting was because he refused. This is an obviously cynical ploy and major news outlets are running whole pieces without pointing this out. He could release them tonight.

It’s not enough to simply thank our veterans for their service. Millions of them rely on SNAP and the ACA. Many struggle with PTSD and worry about access to mental health services. Today, on Veterans Day, let’s renew our commitment to keep fighting for those who fought for us.

So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down. The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed. And they get another vacation

People are asking: Why is Trump screwing American farmers so badly when they’re his most loyal voting bloc? Maybe because it’s a cheap land grab. Run farmers out of business, then he and his billionaire buddies buy up millions of acres for pennies on the dollar. Are the farmers catching on yet?
