To be really clear: The reason members of Congress can't just walk right in is because of the guns. Armed DHS personnel won't allow entry. In other words, DHS is using armed force to *break* laws. Democrats need to wrap their minds around that. Accept that the frog is boiled.

The indoor putt-putt golf place a few miles from where I grew up just popped into my head. It's been 30+ years and I still remember the smell of that place. Not entirely unpleasant but with a strong must and humid. They kept it reasonably cool, but man was it humid in there.

So much sadness on the whole ...And Justice For All album. Sure, there's the well-earned anger, but there's also an underlying sadness to the whole thing.

All i can think reading Skrmetti is that this generation deserved so much better than the world they were given. They will grow up not having seen the arc of progress but the decimation of their planet, futures, and rights. I am so, so sorry.

GOP: Our budget will reduce the deficit CBO: It'll increase the deficit by $2.4 trillion GOP: But with greater growth, it'll pay for itself CBO: Accounting for growth it's $2.3 trillion GOP: ... CBO: Also, more debt raises interest rates, so the true effect is $2.8 trillion.

My favorite feature of MS Teams is that sometimes spell check works and sometimes it doesn't. And that it seems to fluctuate based on the most recent upgrade. #msteamsfail #msteams

The answer is in ICE's selection of targets: * Democratic politicians in public * Immigrants attending court hearings, at work, or at schools None of those people will be armed. On the flipside, ICE is scrupulously avoiding raids on cartel affiliates, drug dealing sites, etc. They might be armed.
