- The U.S. government shutdown has halted pay to the TSA, but not ICE, so ICE is taking over from the TSA in airports[1]. If you fly to the U.S., starting Monday apparently, the first think you're likely to see is masked gunmen giving you the eye.
No thankyou.

- Funny, everyone outside of the US should exercise increased caution when dealing with or visiting the US.

- Has there been any official WH note on the need for this war, yet? Or objectives?
- Would the current state of affairs qualify for cancelling the mid-terms? Is that overly cynical?
Not in the US, not a US citizen or voter. My suspicion is the answer is "no, but it is not a given that a competent supreme court which looks likely to overturn the WH exists, if they say they want to do this"
- Is this an orange, purple, or magenta threat level?

- This is so non-specific to be meaningless.
Like actually tell us what you know so we can make useful decisions about our safety.
- My first thought: You don't say?

- Crazy how effective at making everything worse this admin has been.
- There is a worldwide consensus that the American State should exercise increased caution.
- What the fuck was even the intended purpose of starting this war in Iran? Like in their mind, what was the best case scenario?

- On the flip side, I _think_ there's actually less and less about Epstein visible, so I think WH is winning that war. Or at least successfully postponing battles.
- I am tired of winning.

- I got jumped in Italy couple of weeks ago. I was wearing a "volleyball dad" hoodie my kid bought for me but did not realize that the "volleyball dad" is etched in the middle of a large American flag covering my entire back. Luckily (for him, not me :) ) three police officers were 10 meters away walking the area dealing with apre ski drunks and restrained him. fun times
- A small price for demonstrating that our El-Douche is always right and a stable genius.

- So the presidents personal law enforcement that is tasked with racially profiling people who overwhelmingly do not pose a threat are going to now be conducting security directly from the source where millions of foreign travelers come through…hmmm…ridiculous
- why are common people paying for the incompetence of a gvt.
to not be political this lies at the heart of principles, morals, meritocracy
values that the current gvt lacks & things that drove america forward.

- lol.
The current situation has been giving me so many flashbacks. Here, my GWB-era teens had the terror threat level, and now we're lazily reimagining State Department traveling warnings as a dark slapstick version (be afraid everywhere, American!)

- When do we expect Iranians to actually attack US military bases outside the middle east? I heard there were already drones flying over bases in the US: https://wjla.com/news/local/unidentified-drones-fly-over-for...
