Sucks that climate change is below immigration. Fix climate change, there would be way less immigration pressure.

It’s like one folder in one box of Jack Smith’s case less the obstruction, conspiracy, spoliation and leaks to foreign powers.
More serious than Reality Winner (though with the same aggravating factor of making Trump look bad). Less serious than Manning. Or so it looks from the reporting to date.

Apparently she said this with a straight face.
After Aileen Cannon spent a year or more without moving the vastly more serious case against Trump forward in any way.

"There is one tier of justice for all Americans," US Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement announcing the charges.
"Anyone who abuses a position of power and jeopardizes our national security will be held accountable. No one is above the law."

Hate is a waste of energy and is more than they deserve. Contempt is the right reaction.

Mike Johnson: "Let me predict what Sen. Kelly is gonna say on the show. He's gonna give you a long, impassioned speech about healthcare and how the subsidies are so important to make sure people don't die and all of this. Let me tell you something. This is not a healthcare fight."

I honestly don’t know about Rush, but I think they are aware, deep down, that they are the antidemocratic party and this probably helps them with the cognitive dissonance.

Sydney Reid acquitted.

This was a case where someone filming was assaulted, and then arrested and charged with felony assault.

The grand jury no billed that, so they took her to trial on a misdemeanor charge. There were a bunch of discovery problems.

And now this.

Kudos to the FPDS!

A verdict form for Sydney Lori Reid. She was found Not Guilty.

KEILAR: If you don't deal with these subsidies, many many people are going to see their costs increase

HARIODOPOLOS: We are willing to have the debate

KEILAR: You're not in session! How can you debate if you're not in session?

HARIODOPOLOS: All they have to do is open the government

Still being on Xitter should be disqualifying at this point.

I just gave a talk to a room full of CTOs on ethical decision making in an age of AI and this attitude towards AI — the dampening of critical thinking and an assumption that AI has the right answer to everything — is exactly why I created this talk

Wow. Just wow.

"Students pay premium prices for information that AI now delivers instantly and for free. A business student can ask ChatGPT to explain supply chain optimization or generate market analysis in seconds. The traditional lecture-and-test model faces its Blockbuster moment."

By "she" you appear to include most women, since the average female salary is 7% below the average male salary for the same work.
So, it's already illegal, it's happening anyway, and yet you argue that the existence of the law is some form of privilege.

Oh noes, holding a firearm while immigrant!

Is that canceled out if you're a domestic abuser and therefore protected from having your guns taken away? Inquiring minds need to know.

In this video, I talk about how important local independent media has been in surfacing ICE abuse.

I should have included public defenders in there, too, bc with their help, these cases are crumbling.

I'm aware. And equally, the far-white was always going to weaponize it and manufacture a backlash.

That's what it has done with every single previous improvement for any "out" group, especially if they happen to have brown faces.

Sam Altman is kept off the top of my list of people who I will cheer as they crash and burn only by the fact that Elon Musk, has raised conceited wankerdom to a level never before seen in human history.
