I always reply to a post BEFORE liking it immediately afterwards because I like to pretend I’m leaving a comment in a small town’s guestbook, then closing it and setting it down with an affectionate pat. Just content to be able to contribute. Here is a like, friend, a small token of my gratitude.

NEW Federal judges, concerned that President Trump may undermine their security, are considering setting up their own armed security force. Currently, federal judges are protected by U.S. Marshals, who ultimately answer to President Trump.

At Chicago’s immigration court. Just witnessed masked ICE agents seize two men immediately after DHS dismissed their cases and motioned for expedited removal. Unfortunately, recording is prohibited & ICE had security threaten to call “federal police” when they thought maybe that happened.
