Just want to point out stupid and evil are not mutually exclusive conditions.

Usha Vance's trip to Greenland turns into a trip to visit the US base there because nobody will meet with her. She brings some asshole with her.

Special US House election in Florida to elect replacements for Gaetz & Waltz. The two districts are very safely Republican (like 30 points) - but it should be interesting to see how they turn out.

Should be clear on this: it's higher in this term than at the same point in his previous term, but still steadily falling from the start of his second term.

Wife had lunch w/ immigration lawyer friend. Apparently, Immigration is looking through social media posts and seeing who protested for Gaza. They are then finding international students on visas and canceling them without telling them, which then gives them an excuse to arrest them because they are here "illegally". They are then issuing non-Judicial warrants. Because it's not signed by a judge, they *shouldn't* have the ability to enter someone's home - so they tend to be snatching people off the street and ringing doorbells to grab them when they open the door. If you or your child protested, delete your pictures and posts immediately.

That's exactly what's happening. It's probably the biggest government attack on free speech since the McCarthy Era.

All of the complaining the right wing did around having their "free speech" violated on Twitter or whatever is such bullshit. What they really wanted was to be the ones doing the censoring.
