Someone asked me why Democrats are now coming out vaguely against starvation. People who celebrated and funded this inevitable result every step of the way are issuing statements now in a futile attempt to distort how history judges their unforgivable crimes against humanity.

Given how often we are getting reports of ChatGPT driven psychosis in people because the thing is designed to be sycophantic and agree with everything you say, is it safe to assume yet that all billionaires are totally unhinged because that’s what their daily life experience is?

I have never heard of lawyers being allowed anonymity, anywhere
Lawyers for ICE are increasingly hiding their identities in court. This is completely unprecedented.
“We’re not really doing names publicly,” said Judge ShaSha Xu — after stating her own name and those of the immigrants and their lawyers.

The simultaneity of his laughableness and dangerousness can still be astonishing.

Not good enough, GOP. Stop pretending to value democracy and the rule of law.
House bill would have let Trump ignore existing court orders; new language requires bond that would pay for the government’s “costs and damages” in complying with injunctions.
