🧊 ICE Agents Will Join Olympics Delegation in Italy. Many Italians are Angry.

NY Times

Mr. Sala [the Mayor of Milan] added: ā€œBringing to Milan a militia which distinguished itself — this is not my opinion — with criminal acts, which kills, which enters in the homes of American citizens without authorization, I do not think that that is a good idea.ā€

This is insane. The Olympic Committee and Italian government should ban America from the Olympic Games—and other countries should boycott the World Cup in North America (as should the US team). An untrained and unlawful unit of thugs and murderers shouldn’t be welcome anywhere. And we know they are untrained because they are hiring people based on six-minute interviews and without background checks—not to mention the evidence we can see with our eyes as they escalate situations and are overly trigger happy.

šŸ’Š Trump says he will pardon ex-Honduras president convicted of drug trafficking

BBC

HernƔndez was found guilty in March 2024 of conspiring to import cocaine into the US, and of possessing machine guns. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison.

Bombing boats from Venezuela without any (publicly released) evidence, while pardoning someone who was tried and convicted of doing the exact same thing they are accusing Venezuela of doing. How can anyone possibly reconcile these things?

Harvard

Four hundred thousand kids dead in less than a year. But hey, the Trump administration saved less than half a percent of its budget. Oh! And did we mention, DOGE was shut down already because it cost taxpayers more than it saved? Talk about fraud and waste…
