Nope. name calling and subjective rants have no place in headlines. The independent can identify itself as a partisan rag, NYTimes doesn’t want to. There’s plenty of judgement in the article, it’s just not in the headline. NYTimes panders to the reasonable.

"I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom." - Abraham Lincoln

Nick Clegg makes killing the ai industry overnight sound like a bad thing. It’s a good thing!

And I think they failed. See 8 CFR 214.4 www.ice.gov/sevis/school...

Yup. It’s all in 8 CFR 214.4 www.ice.gov/sevis/school...

Not in CRR 8 214.4 www.ice.gov/sevis/school...

Such bullshit harassment. 8 CR 214.4 (www.ice.gov/sevis/school...) gives the process and reasons for SEVP revocation, and none of them are in Noem’s letter.

In a video statement, Netanyahu said Israel’s “greatest friends in the world’’ had told him, “We cannot accept images of hunger, mass hunger. We cannot stand that. We will not be able to support you.’’ Translation: We’d really rather not, but since you insist edition.pagesuite.com/popovers/dyn...

William Gibson only scratched the surface - it’s real now. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/m...

Can’t believe I’m seeing this on Newsmax. Bring him home.

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

What’s really killing me about TCS (the Current Situation) is that we’re converging quickly on the labels (authoritarian, Nazi heading, bad-in-so-many-ways), but blablabla doesn’t cook rice. Even @aoc.bsky.social & @sanders.senate.gov just labeling: Let’s get the plan together.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

““The whole world has decided that the U.S. government has no idea what it’s doing,” said Mark Blyth, a political economist at Brown University and co-author of the forthcoming book “Inflation: A Guide for Users and Losers.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/b...

We found the government “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

“Welcome to Donald Trump’s America, where the Cabinet texting about war plans on a nongovernmental messaging app is “not a big deal,” but an op-ed in a school paper is a threat to national security.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Beautiful message from Blue Ghost, a lunar robot, as it signed off: “Goodnight friends. After exchanging our final bits of data, I will hold vigil on this spot in Mare Crisium to watch humanity's continued journey to the stars. …

Seems like i I was wrong saying the Feds had no legal basis to arrest Khalil Mahmoud, but still a place to let your leaders know how you feel.

wrto measles vaccines: rFK jr: “Mr. Kennedy asserted otherwise: “We don’t know what the risk profile is for these products. We need to restore government trust. And we’re going to do that by telling the truth, and by doing rigorous science to understand both safety and efficacy issues.”

Trump criticizes Democrats for not applauding for achievements of his he’s making up on the fly

Yup. You can’t count on the United States anymore. And especially Marco Rubio. This is going to come back to bite us, let alone the guilt and shame of betraying Ukraine

So sorry @alicefraser.bsky.social , your regnal political epithet,”Boris Johnson: looks like a toenail with hair,” now must share its throne with @thetraecrowder.bsky.social description of Emil Bove:” he looks like someone gene-spliced Count Chocula with the Mucinex mascot.”

Kleptocracy.

Oh, that’s every day in 💩 Trump world

“ I felt physically sick watching the president of the United States yell at a brave ally, fulminating in the Oval Office as if he were an addled old man shaking his fist at a television.” — Tom Nichols, The Atlantic #metoo I felt the same way as I did on Sept 11, Oct 7, and Feb 22. Sick.
