Zelensky issued an official presidential decree authorizing Russia to hold its Victory Day parade in Moscow tomorrow.
He included the exact coordinates of Red Square. That's it.

Probs shouldn’t have spent $100B on crab legs and pianos in September. If the Pentagon wants more money, tell them to borrow it from ICE and CBP.
SCOOP: The Pentagon asked the White House today for more than *$200 billion* for Iran war supplemental, sources say
Some in WH think Congress won't support b/c it's so big
Will tee up giant battle in Congress

Pentagon seeks more than $200 billion in budget request for Iran war
That figure would far surpass the costs of the U.S. airstrike campaign to date and aims to boost production of critical weapons depleted in the conflict, people familiar with the matter said.

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”

There has been an increasing sense in Minneapolis that we are on our own, that our elected representatives are unwilling and/or unable to take action to get these murderous Nazi thugs out of our community. I really hope that changes today. The time for pleading TV hits ended weeks ago.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

According to DHS, about 3,000 ICE and federal agents are operating in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. THREE THOUSAND! The entire Minneapolis Police Department only has about 580 officers. This is outrageous and unnecessary.
Our tax dollars are funding this abuse, so it’s happening in our name.
