People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

For your information, NCUA employees are paid by SIFC(think FDIC for banks). This would be the very definition of wrongful terminations.

I hadn't seen this yesterday, Elon Musk saying two lawyers were "undermining civilization" which "seems like a generational trauma transfer issue." What a strange insult. Does he know their parents or something? Ah, I see: they're both Jewish. It's Musk being a Nazi. Again.

Heartbreaking—and entirely preventable. A child in Washington has died from #pertussis, the first such death in the state since 2011. With the new administration's assault on science, we will see more tragedies like this. This is exactly why scientific progress and public health policies matter.
