ICE detained the wife of an active-duty U.S. Army Sgt. First Class after she showed up for an immigration appointment in 📍 El Paso—then still threatened removal despite legal protections.

Her husband (27 years active duty) said it plainly: ICE is out of control.

Gay surrogacy and gay adoption are predicated on the idea that gay men (or women) have a “right” to become parents. This idea is not only morally insane but also logically incoherent. It’s exactly like jumping off a building and claiming that you have the right to fly. Nobody has the right to defy the laws of nature. Where would such a right even originate? Two men cannot be parents. It’s impossible. Doesn’t matter how they feel or what they want. It cannot be. The only “right” at issue here is the right of the child. And the child has a right to be raised by a mother and a father, not two men masquerading as mother and father.

Great work to all the transphobic pickme gays because you're next on the menu

West Virginia dad dies after insurer denied his $50,000 cancer treatment 4 times — 93% of patients face the same delays The vast majority of patients who require prior authorization from their insurer face delays, which can result in permanent disability or even death.

Out of 38 OECD countries, the US provides the worst healthcare for its people.

This time it killed Eric Tenant, 58, who needed cancer treatment, but instead of the US providing it, his healthcare insurer denied it as "unnecessary" four times — and then he died.

Is the military just gaslighting him at this point as to what is happening…?

I guess it really wouldn’t matter either way. He’s senile and incomprehensible on a good day. Who could even tell?

In the end, everything about the Constitution & the Republic was just norms & duct tape, because our Representatives, Senators, & Supreme Court Justices turned out to be oath-violating cowards when it mattered.

This didn't exactly result in LESS red yarn.

Pope Leo XIV: Woe to those who manipulate religion in the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into filth. The world is being ravaged by tyrants, yet it is held together by a multitude of supportive brothers and sisters.

Democrats planning to run in November’s midterm elections have been advised not to antagonise pro-AI campaign groups that have amassed more than $300mn to fight for the industry’s priorities. The warnings by top party consultants, corroborated by people close to four different campaigns and party strategists speaking on the condition of anonymity, come despite internal polling for Democrats showing widespread public support for tougher AI rules.

They're calling it the best democracy ever.

Screenshotted excerpt from the linked article, reading as follows: Boasberg scheduled a hearing for 5 PM and asked the government’s lawyer point-blank whether there were imminent removals planned under the proclamation. The Justice Department lawyer claimed he didn’t know, so at 5:22 PM, Boasberg adjourned the hearing until 6 PM to allow him to investigate. A removal flight took off at 5:25, followed by another at 5:45. When the hearing resumed at 6 PM, the Justice Department lawyer told Boasberg he still had no flight details to share. Boasberg ordered the government not to carry out any removals under the proclamation for 14 days, and said that if planes had already taken off, the people needed to be returned to the United States. Several hours later, the government transferred the migrants into El Salvador’s custody. Secretary of State Marco Rubio then retweeted a post from the president of El Salvador: a news headline about Boasberg’s order, accompanied by the text, “Oopsie…Too late 😂😂.”

Judge Neomi Rao called the criminal contempt investigation into the Trump administration “improper,” “unnecessary,” and “a clear abuse of discretion"

Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination. Discrimination based on sex is expressly prohibited under Montana’s unique Nondiscrimination Clause––“[n]either the state nor any person, firm, corporation, or institution shall discriminate on account of . . . sex . . . .” Thus, Article II, Section 4 is unequivocal in its intolerance for discrimination based on sex. Because sex discrimination involves a fundamental right under Article II, the appropriate level of judicial review is strict scrutiny. Snetsinger, ¶ 17. ¶28 Being transgender is also a suspect class under the Equal Protection Clause of Article II, Section 4,––“[n]o person shall be denied equal protection of the law.”

MONTANA SUPREME COURT: “Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination,” and is subject to strict scrutiny under the Montana Constitution.

Truly remarkable how many people have told the Pope, in some way or another, to "shut up and dribble." Or corrected him on the Bible, despite their thin education on theology. Or told him to stay out of US affairs, despite him being a US citizen. The hubris is amazing.

I agree that people shouldn't be negatively polarized into treating the Catholic Church as a net good in the world but if you're pretending it's not funny that the pope saying "bombing schools is bad" made our government invent Anglicanism from first principles, you're just a buzzkill
