Friend had to go to ER this morning. Everything's fine but it reminded me of how ER visits change over time:
teens and 20's: Someone got drunk and stupid
30's and 40's: Does my kid have the croup?
50's and beyond: Hope someone isn't dying.

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?
The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.
But I won't back down — and neither should you.

No, I still don't think it's unreasonable, when people have gone on record saying the President wants to shoot protesters, to remind soldiers that they are obligated to not do that.

Disgusted to hear of the targeted shooting of National Guard members in DC today. All Americans should unite in condemning and rejecting this violence. Sending prayers to these victims and their families, and thankful to the responders who acted so quickly.

I am amused that some people seriously think Mamdani is going to abolish the NYPD, the largest and most powerful police force in the country.
Libertarian demands more armed government agents who have the power to kill, and condemns anyone who disagrees as an extremist.

Lot going on here; I just wanted to throw this POV from an Illinoisan politico. The subsidized public grocery store or variations of the same all have flopped hard here in illinois, CNI has a couple good articles, because simply the community can’t sustain it and consumer habits are hard to change!
The market does provide it. The reason private stores aren't selling fresh produce nearby is that not enough ppl want it (or rather, want it badly enough to pay what it actually costs to produce and deliver)--even when the federal govt is helping cover the bill via EBT.
Poor ppl have agency, too!

I understand the new GA prosecutor dropping charges and justifying it by saying they can’t prosecute a sitting president and that holding off until 2029 is not feasible. That’s probably true. But saying the case never should have been brought at state level? That’s ludicrous, and frankly insulting.

ICE has just under four years to spend $29.9 billion, they are going to outsource AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE to contractors because money is essentially not a problem anymore for the agency.
NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.
