Flying to Taiwan for my first visit tonight. I've been to multiple Din Tai Fung locations in the US. Would it still be worth eating at one of the Taipei locations? I only have 2 days in Taipei so I'm thinking no, but willing to be persuaded otherwise!

How about adding this to the bill, Dems--DHS can't target individuals in this way. And put in actual criminal/monetary penalties for individual officials who don't follow the law or court orders
It's clear the increased ICE/CBP funding under Trump is being used primarily as a tool of repression, not as a means of law enforcement, and that's all the more reason why Democrats should use this opportunity—while the public hates ICE and the GOP is on the defensive—to eviscerate both agencies.
ICE used facial recognition software on a MN resident who was trailing agents in her car. Three days later she received an email from DHS saying her Global Entry and TSA travel privileges had been revoked. No explanation was provided.

The terror campaign in Minnesota is intentional and deliberate. ICE behaved as trained. This is what Republicans celebrated.

AltNPS posted about Alex Pretti's murder 25 times since this morning. During that time, they spread misinformation about the shooting, lied about knowing the shooter's name, and generally flooded the zone with shit.
They're trying to milk this story for all it's worth.

She's so full of shit. Not only are the protestors not violent, but by her logic, no one in Portland should have been attacked by her goons since no protests were violent until now!
Kristi Noem: "These are not just agitators anymore. They are violent protests. Frankly, this didn't turn violent until we uncovered the fraud in Minneapolis."

And he didn’t. He tried to help a woman who’d just been assaulted. There was nothing rash, stupid, or radical about what he did. He showed kindness. And they killed him for it.

The shamelessness is the point. We know she's lying. She knows she's lying. If she were trying to convince the public, that would be admitting that public opinion matters.
This is a performance of dominance.
This is "truth is what we say it is."
This is "you'll believe what we tell you."

Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

Or they will keep shooting and killing us? Is that the message?
Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."

I will never cease to regret that I contributed to the campaign of fake Democrat MGP
7 democrats voted with MAGA republicans to push through ICE funding. If they voted no, it would’ve been blocked.
Hakeem Jeffries can’t get his caucus in order to stop ICE fascists as they arrest without judicial warrants, kidnap children, & kill citizens.

not sure the government grasps the people on X who seem to be fine wading through far-right propaganda, porn, & user-generated abuse imagery would notice or care if government accounts closed

If you’ve got a Senate Democrat who is not calling for new leadership, they’re part of the problem.
We should no longer trust Senate Dems who decline to come out against the leadership that led us here. Until proven otherwise, we should assume they were in on the game to fool their own supporters.

Incredible. Progressive challenger Katie Wilson now has a 91-vote lead in Seattle’s race for mayor. She had been steadily gaining on incumbent Bruce Harrell.
There are about 8,000 ballots left to count.
