What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

Sorry but how come no media has outted Graham already? This guy has lost the right to tacit protection a long time ago after drifting toward fascism regularly.

The French government promises to abrogate the "Code noir," which regulated slavery like physical punishments owners were allowed to inflict on their property, as the edict defined slaves in the ancien régime. France never overturned the edict. It was thought moot when slavery was abolished.

This is really interesting and I had no idea. Also speaks to the perverse incentives that the 10y budget window CBO scoring process creates. It creates a huge tilt towards Congress instructing the eating of the seed corn.

This is what's so scary. These are the months when we should see opposition to Trump and we're seeing him plough over it. He's winning because e.g. the economy is still hobbling on.

Finding it hard to justify taxing people for this mission. It's not maintaining peace and it's not enforcing the laws. Doesn't look like part of the police mandate. If they have time for this, there are too many of them.

Pretty sure this should tell you all you need to know about the veracity of the DOJ's charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Idk, if you don't want to have your name in the public sphere, don't work for the public?

It's worth noting here that Elon's principal objection to the reconciliation bill is that its Medicaid cuts are not nearly savage enough. If Elon wants to damage Trump great but there's no Dem tent big enough to include the "kill hundreds of thousands of poor Africans for kicks" guy

This is a real tweet and two huge stories in one: Trump being in the Epstein files may be overshadowed by what a disingenuous dipshit Elon is to have kept this private only until they had a falling out. He was fine with Trump being on the pedophile's list as long as their relationship served him

NEW: Virginia's two most populous cities voted Harris in November, and both have Republican sheriffs up for reelection this year, at a time where sheriffs are rushing to help ICE. There's no Democrat, or indy, challenging either sheriff. Main filing deadline passed; a final one is in two weeks.

He's just lying. The government already knows what foreign students go to Harvard. They know that about every university. The students were vetted when they applied for a visa, which they needed.

What the people at the @nytimes.com like is power. Not truth, not even freedom. They like to punch down (trans people in this case) b/c it makes them feel like they have that ability. They don't go after Nazis or trump because they feel (wrongly) they have no power over them, and what fun is that?

LOL I'd love a world in which there are 10M Medicaid recipients who don't work and can work jobs that offer benefits.

If Dems regain power (big if), they must arrest Elmo on day one. (unless Elmo's already in jail if he continues his escalation with trump)

Just going to point out that it's Trump, not Harvard, trying to ban Israeli students from the campus. (As well as Jewish students from Canada, the UK, France, etc.)

Yes but would still be the wrong interpretation: the US was headed for inflation no matter the size of stimulus as we can see from all other countries in the world and pent-up demand from COVID years.
