Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court says Trump administration must facilitate return of Maryland man mistakenly deported to El Salvador.

It's outrageous that they gave Trump the powers trusted to them in the Constitution, even if just on an "emergency wink-wink basis" It's unconscionable that they're now proposing a way to block themselves from taking their rightful powers back.

If you're one of those "where are the protests" because the news has been ignoring them the past two months, there are 25,000 people gathered in DC today, and 20+ blocks full of people in Manhattan, and that's just two cities. The protests have been happening; you're just being lied to again.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

I'm 18. The economy enters a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican president is responsible. I'm 29. There is once-in-a-century pandemic that leads to a once-in-century-recession. A Republican is responsible. I'm 35. Tarriffs trigger a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican is responsible.

Question for you all. If a game has an implied setting, do you want all that info in the rulebook? So it's a big ol book? Or do you want rules in one book, and the setting as an optional secondary book?

One of the world’s most chilling ruins is the Ploutonion at Hierapolis, otherwise known as “the Gate to Hell”. Here crowds once watched priests lead animal sacrifices down into a cave, where they died mysteriously as if dragged down to the underworld. And no one knew how they did it until recently.

I am BEGGING people to frame this properly. The issue here is not one colossal blunder where a reporter got info. The issue is it’s clear these people are all routinely ignoring the most absolutely basic security protocols, and WE HAVE NO IDEA what breaches this has already enabled.
