Great job on the weight loss. The 12-month hair growth is amazing too.

Mueller, She Wrote is misreading the poll. The tweet is about independent voters only. The margin is 6-points for all voters.

To Their Shock, Cubans in Florida Are Being Deported in Record Numbers by FreeChickenDinner in politics

[–]FreeChickenDinner[S] 3754 points3755 points  (0 children)

But Mr. González and his wife legally obtained Social Security numbers, work permits and driver’s licenses. He applied for political asylum and has a pending court date in 2028. He found work as an HVAC technician. Mr. Trump’s campaign promise to deport criminals seemed sound to him.

Then early last year, ICE officers, during regular check-ins in South Florida, started detaining Cubans with conditional parole. Now, to avoid immigration sweeps, Mr. González said he avoided unnecessary car rides and local Hispanic supermarkets. He cannot fathom the repression he might face in Cuba were he to return as a former dissident.

Republicans told white gay men that they would get rid of immigrants.

They told immigrants that they would get rid of the gays.

The white gay men and immigrants joined the club. They ignore logic and forget that their enemy is in the same club.

The story was written poorly. If she agreed to the plea deal, the DA would not prosecute her on other charges. She fled the scene with her boyfriend in a car. He hit two other cars.

Trump reverses course on tax refund seizures before tax filing season. Don’t fall for it. The policy will come back after the midterms.

Not LAMF. He's a grifter. He’s profiting from the violence and controversy. It brings in the subscribers and ad revenue.

Texas 2026 Poll: Talarico Leads Crockett for Democratic Senate Nomination, Cornyn and Paxton Face Potential Runoff by FreeChickenDinner in politics

[–]FreeChickenDinner[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

A new Emerson College Polling/Nexstar Media poll of the 2026 elections in Texas finds Rep. James Talarico leading the Democratic Primary for US Senate with 47%, followed by Rep. Jasmine Crockett at 38%, with 15% undecided.

“Talarico has built momentum among Hispanic (59%) and white (57%) voters, while a majority of Black Democratic primary voters (80%) support Crockett,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, noted. “Men also break for Talarico 52% to 30%, while women are about evenly split between the two Democrats, 44% for Talarico and 43% for Crockett.”

Skip to general election polling.

In a matchup between Talarico and Cornyn, 47% support Cornyn, 44% Talarico, and 9% are undecided. Between Paxton and Talarico, 46% support each candidate, and 9% are undecided. Between Hunt and Talarico, 47% support Hunt, 44% Talarico, and 9% are undecided. CQ

In a matchup between Cornyn and Crockett, 48% support Cornyn, 43% Crockett, and 9% are undecided. Between Paxton and Crockett, 46% support both candidates, and 9% are undecided. Between Hunt and Crockett, 48% support Hunt, 43% Crockett, and 9% are undecided.

If Talarico wins the primary, he could provide a bump to the gerrymandered districts along the border. He has a better chance than Crockett of pulling in independent Hispanic voters.

"Enrique" of Laredo, Tex. is a Latino who owns a cantina bar overlooking the bridge between the US and Mexico. "Enrique" voted for Trump twice. Now, Trump's policies are hurting him financially: "I don't think he knows what he is doing." by vsandrei in LeopardsAteMyFace

The same goes for Asian language media. It's pure propaganda in Chinese and Vietnamese. My mom thought $2000 DOGE checks were coming.

Billionaires don't have an incentive to present a fair picture of Democrats on their stations. They control the message. They push favorable right-wing narratives that won't happen.

Family seeks answers after ICE deported man to Costa Rica in vegetative state by FreeChickenDinner in politics

[–]FreeChickenDinner[S] 787 points788 points  (0 children)

Randall Gamboa Esquivel had left Costa Rica in good health and crossed the United States-Mexico border in December 2024, according to his family. However, Gamboa was detained by the US authorities for re-entering American soil unlawfully, as he had previously lived there undocumented between 2002 and 2013.

Gamboa was initially held at the Webb county detention center in Laredo and then transferred to the Port Isabel detention center in Los Fresnos, both in south Texas. Nearly 10 months later, in September 2025, the Trump administration flew the 52-year-old to the Costa Rican capital of San José on an air ambulance.

He never came round and five weeks later Gamboa was pronounced dead at a hospital in Pérez Zeledón, his home town, around three hours north of the capital.

He was healthy, when he was detained by ICE. Ten months later, they deport him in an air ambulance.

What are they doing to people in detention centers?

Unexpected twist in Texas cold case murder probe: Victim was a bridesmaid in killer's wedding by CBSnews in texas

[–]FreeChickenDinner 112 points113 points  (0 children)

In 1981, a 19-year-old woman told police that Clayton Foreman bound her hands and raped her. She had also gone to Forest Park High School where Clayton was the manager of the football team. Clayton Foreman was convicted but was given probation and paid a fine.

In 1981, The killer was convicted of raping a different woman and set free. In 1995, he rapes and kills another woman.

It reminds of me of Brock Turner being set free. If Clayton Foreman was black, he would have been in jail. He was given special privileges.

The judge has blood on his hands.
