I try not to repost dumb memes but I went to look at the reaction on Truth Social to Trump's post saying gas prices were higher under Biden and someone posted this and I was amused.

ICE shot a man in Austin today. I’m demanding transparency, accountability, and safety. Release the footage and records. Hold any officer who broke the law responsible. And get ICE out of our city.

Trump has now refunded $128 billion dollars from his tariffs to corporations. Tariffs he created, made Americans pay for, and then returned right back to his donors. We paid, and his friends cashed in.

None of us can top E.B. White on this argument
“Third, there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. Of these three trembling cities the greatest is the last--the city of final destination, the city that is a goal. It is this third city that accounts for New York's high-strung disposition, its poetical deportment, its dedication to the arts, and its incomparable achievements. Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness; natives give it solidity and continuity; but the settlers give it passion.”

-E.B. White, "Here is New York"

ICE shot Wilber Rafael Garces Perez in Austin. He’s been taken out of the hospital and into ICE custody. If ICE deports him, the key witness to their shooting disappears. He must not be removed from this country, and he must receive proper medical care.

ICE agent shoots and wounds man in Austin, Texas, sparking demands for full investigation
The lawyer for the man identified him as a 28-year-old Venezuelan national, Wilber Rafael Garces Perez. Officials said he was shot at least once in the torso and was in serious but stable condition.

And I don’t want to hear “oh, it’s just Trump being Trump” or that he’s “trolling.” Enough. None of this is normal or okay.

Republicans cannot keep shrugging this off. Congress, the Cabinet, and everyone around him has a responsibility to stop enabling this dangerous behavior and start asking whether he is fit to hold this office.

In LaMonica McIver's case, she's asking for an extension to decide whether to ask for an en banc review.
Re: United States v. LaMonica McIver, Crim. No. 25-00388
Dear Judge Semper:
We write to let the Court know that recent developments might warrant
postponing or canceling the Tuesday, September 15, 2026 status conference.
Defendant McIver, with the Government’s consent, has moved for a 30-day
extension from the Court of Appeals of her deadline to petition for rehearing or
rehearing en banc. If the Court of Appeals grants that extension, which seems likely
given the Government’s consent, the new deadline for any such petition would be
Friday, October 9, 2026. Accordingly, the mandate likely won’t issue for at least
several more weeks. As a result, it might be more efficient for the Court and the
parties to adjourn the status conference rather than proceed with it as scheduled.

I try to play with the children at times at school and I am in significant pain as I attempt to do things I was so easily able to do before."
