The only real analog I can think of to Elise Stefanik's decision to run for governor of New York in 2026 is Thích Quảng Đức, the buddhist monk who lit himself on fire at an intersection Saigon in 1963.

Because criminals always hang out in work vans.
ICE is all over the city and burbs today, including Waukegan. Multiple reports on social media from people who have found empty work vans and are trying to locate family of their owners. This is a near daily occurrence now.

The felon wants to deport bad American citizens. I know a criminal he can start with.
Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

NASDAQ is down 14.3% in the last six months. What did we do six months ago? We elected Donald J. Trump President. Because eggs cost a lot. And eggs cost more than ever.

And I’m going to call Bondi a prostitute. I have as much evidence as she does.
Bondi on Abrego Garcia: "This is an extremely disturbing case. Every American tonight should be thanking Donald Trump for making America safer by getting this guy out of our county. I'm going to call him a terrorist ... this illegal alien terrorist."
