I gotta admit, I don’t know how federal immunity would work in this case, but at this point - in Chicago at least - it’s apparent that ICE has engaged in a criminal conspiracy to commit serial assaults against citizens of Illinois. They do not have immunity for violating the constitution, but is there any way for Illinois to bring state charges against ICE conspirators in federal court? I admit to having no idea if there’s any angle here - probably not, but this is insanely unprecedented. I’ve never seen a federal entity just go full-on at war against civilians, in violation of all laws and norms.

Obviously, supremacy clause issues. But FFS, these are classic 18 USC 241 (conspiracy to violate civil rights) charges. A statute first written to deal with the fucking klan, and it works against the actual govt forces here. I know THIS DOJ won’t bring charges…but kick this motherfucker out and charge them ALL.

Pretty good discussion/explainer here. https://statedemocracy.law.wisc.edu/featured/2025/explainer-can-states-prosecute-federal-officials/

I've been filling up with premium for $3/gallon for months.

Yeah so does my STi. Filled up at $3.37 yesterday at the Exxon at Slaughter & Manchaca. I save more than $8.00 on that tank vs a place 1/2 mile closer to my house. Hope that helps. Crazy how much variance there is thse days.

I was told by serious posters that lower gas prices means lower food prices since they spend less money to distribute.

And then some fuckin idiot comes along to tack on tariffs to offset the fuel cost savings

I saw a 50 cent change at the William Cannon and Woodhue location and I chalked it up to them being the worst Circle K in America, since they are. But no, lots of places in the area were doing fuck fuck games.

gas buddy is your friend...almost filled up at $3 QT when I checked on a whim...two blocks over was $2.35 at Walmart. All the small gas stations were near $3 while Walmart/Heb/costco were significantly cheaper 

 

Maybe gas station retail is crashing to the point gas needs to become a profit center

From TheHill

President Trump on Tuesday told Congress not to “waste your time and energy” on extending the subsidies, and two Republican senators have competing plans they both say deliver exactly what Trump wants.

A growing number of conservative groups and pollsters have been warning Republicans about the political dangers of letting the subsidies expire, and some lawmakers are taking those warnings to heart.

“If we don’t address the subsidies issue in December, I don’t think it’s going to get addressed next year,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) told reporters Thursday. “I see the political shop on the Democrat side just churning up all the very sympathetic stories that are going to result if we don’t come up with a reasonable plan.”

Tillis has called for a one-year extension of the subsidies, while policymakers mull larger reforms to America’s convoluted and expensive health insurance system.

But Trump has made it clear he won’t sign a temporary extension.
