Love to see it! A live map to track ICE flights to know when they could be coming to your city. Feels like an important thing to share so maybe go and do that.

New York’s rich lash out at ‘shameful’ Mamdani plan to tax second homes
“Can I afford the tax? Yes. Is it going to deter me? No. But I think it’s shameful,” he said. “I provide a lot of money to people who are blue-collar workers who work for me, servers in restaurants. If we’re not there, there are going to be less people being paid.”
Ken Griffin is such an idiot and I'm so glad he left my beautiful home town of Chicago. If you're not there driving up costs of real estate, then regular people can start to afford a home and a storefront to employ other people so all parties can make a reasonable living—rather than the minimum wage this asshole's restaurants—or whatever other businesses he owns—probably pay. You don't need to make billions in profit to be a "successful business person." Instead you can pay your employees a fair wage so they can live a comfortable life while still making a nice chunk of change for yourself at the same time.
A Review of Director Ka$h Patel’s FBI Bourbon
It’s certainly a rare bourbon, the kind of bottle you only get by calling in lots of favors (or having something really damning on your supplier). But is the Director Ka$h Patel Kash Patel FBI Director edition Woodford Reserve bourbon destined to sit alongside a King of Kentucky 17-year? A Heaven Hill 22? Or a POTUS 47? We’ll have to wait and see. You’ll know because we’ll tell you. It’s doing a great job. It’s a critical part of your liquor cabinet. Even though you might not see it back there, hiding behind taller bottles, it’s suited for regular, if not excessive, drinking.
I love that the President who doesn't drink seems to have a thing for bringing on wimpy, whiny, alcoholic men who were bullied too much in kindergarten into his administration. Do these fools do anything all day besides attempting to convince people they shouldn't be fired?
May 6, 2026
Global affairs journalist David Rothkopf wrote today in The Daily Beast: “Not since Vietnam have we seen a more systematic effort by an administration to lie about the nature, costs, consequences, and results of a war than we have seen from the White House on Iran.”
They've painted themselves into a losing corner and won't admit it so they continue to do everything they can to deflect and deny reality, extending things out further and further. And to think, if only Trump hadn't pulled out of the original Iran deal, we'd never be here. But that would just be too easy and too sane, now, wouldn't it.
Jeffrey Epstein’s Possible Suicide Note Hidden From Public View
An inmate said he discovered the note after Mr. Epstein was found injured in his jail cell, weeks before his death. It’s now locked in a courthouse.
I’m just waiting for Dr. Oz to come out as the DoJ’s handwriting expert to say “this letter that says ‘I, Jeffrey Epstein, was the sole trafficker of children and only trafficked them to myself. The wholly honest and trustworthy Donald Trump and our billionaire friends had nothing to do with the child sex trafficking ring and he should be fully exonerated from any wrongdoing.,’ is unequivocally authentic.”
Tax Day means less filings from immigrants worried about exposure to ICE
So not only are we spending hundreds of billions to try to deport people, we're also going to be losing hundreds of billions from the tax revenue they bring in.
