When I voted for Steve-O for President, it was because of his support for lowering inflation. I had no idea he would be stapling his nutsack to the Oval Office floor every day, and getting NFL field goal kickers to boot his nutsack across the room, and other frankly childish nutsack related follies.

We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

A brutal 2–1 decision from the 5th Circuit forcing the removal of a young girl to Venezuela even though she has lived in Texas for years and it is the only home she can remember. The dissent verges on incandescence in its fury and despondency. Incredibly bleak. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

"Musk is a greedy kleptocrat whose life’s work boils down to stealing from the poor to pad his own bottom line. That’s his legacy. He could’ve changed the world for the better; he had every resource available to him to do so. Instead, he made it markedly worse."

SERIOUS QUESTION: What is going on with all these “officers” in tactical gear for a routine traffic stop—with no clear identification? They seem like imposters. And what’s up with that ball cap?

An immigration lawyer who tried to stave off ICE disappearances in Lower Manhattan last week spoke to Hell Gate about the trap that's being set for immigrants. "This is so extreme, from both a legal perspective and one's conscience," she told Hell Gate. hellgatenyc.com/immigration-...

"The hallways...were absolutely lined with ICE agents. And immigrants were scared to leave, even though their cases were still open. What happened was that ICE agents then stormed into the courtroom, kicked out the attorneys, and detained everyone in the courtroom over the judge's objections."

if you set the distribution of harms from pollution (e.g. cancer and asthma rates) next to the distribution of benefits from economic cooperation (e.g. income/wealth gaps) then the narrative that environmentalism is for the rich is the thing we should find surprising!

NEW, from me: It has attracted *shockingly* little attention, but last week the Supreme Court transformed one of the country’s biggest environmental permitting laws. The ruling could reduce the number of energy and infrastructure projects that face legal challenges: heatmap.news/climate/kava...

The interesting question to me — and no one who’s writing about him now seems to agree with it, but whatever, I’m right — is *why* he was revived as a public figure. Because his popularity clearly isn’t organic, at least at its roots.

If you want to astound a younger American today, tell them that thirty years ago there was actually a years-long investigation into a president's personal business dealings and, even better, it centered on a real estate venture where he *lost* money.

Not excited at the third case being taken up at ALL. It comes out of a series of legal victories over the past few years which have found that private prison companies are violating trafficking laws by forcing ICE detainees to work for $1/day through threats. GEO Group wants those lawsuits stopped.

Antonin Scalia will be remembered because he was a long-serving justice on the Supreme Court, responsible for foisting the idiocy of originalism on us and a key player in some disastrous rulings. That's his lasting claim to fame. His prose stylings might warrant a footnote.

It’s not alleged. Three separate legal investigations at the state and federal level found he did these things.
