Fuck, man. I turned 65 two weeks ago and I live in Montana. Last time I drove from Montana to California was 1980 when I was in the Navy. But maybe I have to do it again in 2025. I'm old, I guess, but not too old. Thanks for post, Iris. I've got some shit to figure out to save this country.

Thank you, and you as well.

So if you have enough "clout" you can deny ICE entry to your private place of business? How do we gain access to "clout"?

I studied several foreign languages in high school and college and throughout life but apparently missed this one. Cheers!

9/ Watch this debate—which devolves into something less—between major MAGAs and you’ll see what I mean: Trump swore for 10 years that he would keep us out of Middle Eastern wars, and he was lying, and some MAGAs *may* care about that. I say "may." I know that is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

1. Authorize calling into federal service 2,000 National Guard members under an emergency mobilization authority, 10 USC 12406. As @stevevladeck.bsky.social has mentioned, all this does is put NG on federal duty orders. It doesn't substantively authorize any mission.

Gothamist reached the Nadler staffer who was handcuffed by DHS, but she declined comment except to say the issue had been "resolved." And Nadler's office itself declined to comment at all.

I can get behind that.
