If we're spending $134 million on this, plus all the money for the DHS crew and LAPD, all to pick up six undocumented workers at a Home Depot in LA-- we're doing it wrong.

I agree 100 pct this is all illegal, but a practical question is bugging me too.
Say an earthquake hits San Francisco today, and Newsome needs National Guard troops there for rescue, assistance, etc. What happens then?
If a governor needs a Trump-activated Natl Guard, are they just outta luck?

And yet, Los Angeles genuinely *did* burn to the ground in last year's wildfires, and Washington ain't done much to help since.

Be sure to catch Bondi's semi-sour grapes statement on LinkedIn about his loss.

So hypothetically-- if a major earthquake hit San Francisco today and Gov. Newsome needed to mobilize the National Guard for other purposes, what would happen?

Maybe start by sanctioning Home Depot for employing undocumented workers and starting all this?

In 2004 Boston police killed a college student partying after a Red Sox playoff game with a less-lethal weapon; pellet hit the young woman in the eye, into the brain. Officer had been aiming at another; she was a bystander.
In the hands of the trigger happy, these weapons are NOT non-lethal.

(a) Trump sees smart people as a threat
(b) He wants to make America uncomfortable for all smart people
(c) Go study in another country; life is short

This is the GOP's whole point for cutting public media-- to drive rural voters even more to right-wing talk radio.

Maoist China really is the most apt comparison for a lot of Trump 2.0.

Is there some sort of age limit cited in the statute for involuntary manslaughter? Like, what if the kid were 12; are they not allowed to walk home from the store either?
This is a terrible accident, not a crime.

Remembering my grand-uncle Joe who came back from France in a wheelchair, and I can barely fathom the courage it took to go. Grateful he had it.

Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of your own actions returning to bite you in the [expletive].

Honestly the really big news bomb would be if Trump weren't.

Trump's going to flip out when he sees the drop in resale value.

Or put another way, Elon-- you caused this mess we're in.

Um, the goal is to create echo chambers of engagement so you'll spend more time on Twitter and Twitter makes more money. That's the only goal here.

Uneasy that after months of wrangling, this call happens one day after Putin tells Trump that Russia will retaliate very strongly against Ukraine's bomber attack; and just hours before Trump meets with Germany chancellor Merz. Discussion may not have been about trade at all.

Something clearly triggered him. Was it Elon turning against him, news that Harvard rejected him years ago, or something else? A bad performance review with Putin?
Like, he's feeling weak and cranky. That's what made him lash out.

UNC is a public university. The public are the parents in this analogy telling the petulant child to behave, not the child throwing a tantrum-- that would be the board.

This is why Harvard fights: because it's not like surrender does you any good with Trump anyway.

Makes one wonder whether he has some other repressed feelings in there too.

The further I read, the more I felt like you were having a conversation with some tech bro-- them just spouting buzzwords without a clue who you really were or what the conversation was really about.

'This is not what I wanted' and 'this is not what I ordered' are two different statements.
This is exactly what they ordered.

Always dubious when a rich guy says 'we'll be fine.'
