And remember, taxpayers are the ones who pay the settlements in these lawsuits, which ran over $200,000,000 for the NYPD just in the last year. I wonder if the costs came out of their own budget or retirement funds they might be a little more circumspect.

In my time in the Senate I've never seen a Senator treated this way. @padilla.senate.gov is carrying out his constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight and defend the people he represents. Absolutely shocking and disgusting way to handle a sitting member of Congress.

Los Angeles population is roughly 4M+ people. It’s a massive city, folks. The combined 4700 National Guard and Marines have been sent to about a 3-block area to aggressively eat lunch and watch peaceful protestors sing and dance. 👇🏽 💃🏽🎶🕺🏼 So now you know. Keep lifting the veil, LA fam!

“This could poll well with midterm swing voters in Ohio” I remark sagely as I watch a fourth grader get bundled into an unmarked van at recess by armed and masked agents of the state.

Watch this ICE officer casually raise their rubber-bullet gun to shoot an unassuming Australian journalist in the back from behind as she does a standup at the LA protests. Now consider again who the “lawbreaking terrorists” are in this situation. bsky.app/profile/dell...

In a blog post for the SCS, I explore the Roman army as a self-consciously multi-ethnic force, responding to racist efforts to purge profiles of minorities and women in the nation's service from DOD websites. www.classicalstudies.org/scs-blog/mik...

I’ve never seen this clip before. I’ve also never pondered what she poses. Getting a group of Black women to burn a bus full of white children? You couldn’t do it. And that’s a damning indictment of white womanhood.

In shocking news, despite Mr. Trump's excellent efforts, the Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing gauge dropped. Production fell to a level not seen since 2020. Nobody could've guessed why. Probably wokeness or DEI. www.ismworld.org/supply-manag...

Gotta give Bondi credit here. It’s clear she knows the DOJ Manual’s principles of federal prosecution inside-out and backwards, because she’s obviously trying to violate every single section and subsection of them.

The political instincts of those who said the Abrego Garcia situation was a “distraction” aren’t great. And that also goes for the Trump-lovers who were mocking Dems for pressing the issue.

Stephen Miller wrote this piece for the Duke student newspaper TWENTY YEARS AGO. You won't find a single talking point in here that a) wasn't already a stale Limbaugh-esque talking point in 2005 and b) isn't also the cutting edge of GOP messaging about universities today.
