Huh. The Daily Wire is reporting something that would be *enormous* if true, as since July the majority of all ICE arrests are people with no criminal record. I am deeply skeptical of such a massive operational change, given how the White House/DHS keep bragging about setting arrest records.

SCOOP: ICE officers across the country were told this weekend to stop arresting non-criminals, agency sources tell @realDailyWire
Now, ICE may only arrest illegal immigrants with criminal convictions or charges for the time being, said the sources.
The change also ends so-called "collateral arrests,
" sources said, meaning officers who find a criminal target alongside others in the country illegally may detain only the target.

Xi Jinping invoked the “Thucydides Trap” right to Trump’s face, a reference to the clash between a rising power and a declining one. The message Xi was sending was unmistakable: China is the ascending power. America is declining. This is at least the second time Xi has raised this in front of Trump.

Hillary Clinton: "Xi is thinking, 'They they can't defend anybody anymore bc they don't have capacity. Maybe we can coerce Taiwan into giving up bc there's not going to be support.' If you look at the world map, it's not favorable to the US largely bc of wrongheaded decisions by this administration"

Doomscrolling is not resistance. Agency is. Research shows that constantly consuming frightening political news increases threat and exhaustion without giving your brain any sense of control. Small, completed civic actions do the opposite. Try this. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Really feels like a lot of people my age that were so ambitious in their careers and doing incredible things have decided that it's not worth it anymore and are deciding to prioritize their personal lives instead and trying to retire early. It's anecdotal but I'm seeing this across the board.

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.
