Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.

It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.

Long thread.

Brewers had a HR contest earlier this year and it was so much fun. Thames was there and I think every team should do it

Unprecedentedly good fiscal & monetary policy. Again, I hope everyone likes Lost Decades, because the lesson the Democrats have now learned, for at least a generation, is that you should never again try & avoid them, because you will be destroyed in the media & the court of public opinion.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Trump says immigrants drive violent crime in Illinois — but ICE can’t find many who are

Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

👋 😐 Autistic social scientist here, sharing my writeup that gets into the weeds a bit on some of the rhetoric that puts #autistic lives at risk. It's long, lots of subheadings. Scroll THOSE to get to topics of interest.

Be safe, friends. You're not alone in this mess.

#NewArticle Here I consider how “autism epidemic” scare is being used to push certain agendas and launch a national autism registry. As an #Autistic social scientist, I reflect on a rhetorical pattern that I observe and how it exposes this manipulation. #AutRes
