You are mathematically illiterate.

“26% of people said immigration and asylum was one of the three most important issues facing their community.”
Vs
“52% said it was one of the biggest issues facing the country as a whole”

See the difference now?

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

What state/local law did the City Hall break by installing bike lane protections without informing anyone?

Who specifically needs to be informed here? By which legal provision?

If not, what is wrong with this process?

So can costume designers freely comment on what they see then, since it’s in open view?
Like “Do you feel cold in here? Shrinking a bit? Looks tiny today.” Or “yikes, nothing salvageable from this old wrinkly sack.”
Or maybe just 🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

So, per reporting from Zeteo’s Asawin Suebsaeng, in today’s new ‘First Draft’ newsletter, Trump tried to get a newly-divorced Russ Vought, Project 2025 architect & now budget chief, laid at Mar-a-Lago.

The details are, ahem, as crude as you’d expect from Trump.

The "factual background" begins with something irrelevant and erroneous. Dallas is not in Oregon, and the Dallas shooting wasn't connected to any ICE protest.

If that's enough for the President to federalize a different state's National Guard and deploy them elsewhere, then the power is limitless.

II. FACTUAL BACKGROUND AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
A. Disturbances at the ICE Facility in Portland
In the days and months leading up to the federalization order at issue here,
immigration-related protests and events have occurred at several ICE facilities
around the country. While many of these events have been peaceful, others have
been violent and even deadly. For example, on September 24, there was a shooting
at an ICE facility in Dallas in which one detainee was killed, and two others were
seriously injured. Wamsley Decl. ¶ 21.1 On September 26, over 200 protesters

Unfortunately this particular McCain apple fell far from the family tree.

A tweet from James Surowiecki reads: “This tweet is a perfect encapsulation of the MAGA understanding of presidential power: since Trump was elected, he can do whatever he wants, ignore the Constitution, and ignore the law. But that's not how US democracy is supposed to work. The president is not a king.” Below it, he quotes Meghan McCain’s tweet, which says: “I don’t understand how Trump is a King when he won every single swing state, the electoral college and popular vote in a democratic election.”
