Friendly reminder that while liberals like Chris have been ratcheting up the amount of power held by the executive branch, directly contributing to the types of abuses we see from Trump, Cato has been advocating against it specifically because they rightfully predicted what we see today.
Is it the 1980s? Are you stuck inside Donald Trump's brain? (Trick question: They're the same thing.)

There is zero space between what the 2nd Amendment is for and what the government is doing here. Despite them doing their best to launder it through the judicial system, they are straight up depriving someone of their liberty with zero cause and obvious malice.
🚨Judge Xinis finds that, incredibly, Mr. Abrego Garcia was never ordered deported in 2019. She notes that every since this saga began all the way back in March, the government has NEVER been able to produce any evidence that the immigration judge actually issued a removal order.

I don’t even know what the context for this is but if you ever trot out your minor degree, particularly in computer science, you’re on the losing end of the argument.
Also politely -- I don't know why you think I'm out of my domain. I have a minor in computer science, have shipped code for half of my career, understand LLM architecture through deep use and study, coach some of the best in the field, and have broad exposure through founders & venture capital.

The best way to find out if a song is by Selena is to ask a Hispanic person “who is this?” and if they react like you‘ve just spit on their grandmother’s grave then you know the song is by Selena.

It should be a hard requirement for Dem candidates for president in the next election to release a list of Trump vanity projects they’re going to undo immediately and the candidate that promises to do the most to completely erase his legacy should be declared the winner.

I triggered the Twitter algorithm in a way that served me a bunch of Posobiec tweets and if you want a good example of what would commonly have been called “hysterics” in women, there is no better example than his tweets.

1/ I may write something about this, but I've noticed some folks, notably Noah Smith, but others as well, deriding the $140,000=poverty in today's US guy.
So I thought I'd work out what a family of 4 budget would look like in my well-off Boston suburb (Brookline).
TL:DR--pretty damn tight...

Just going to reiterate this, as a supporter of gun rights: Open carry at protests and other public events where there is high potential for conflict is a really bad idea.

Buddy, I gotta tell you, if I was a GOP representative, my ass would not feel comfortable watching a 15-point swing in a deeply red district ahead of a midterm where the President has been behaving erratically while consistently growing more historically unpopular.

Sorry but if you read an article suggesting that the poverty line in the United States is $140k and you uncritically accept any single other aspect of the analysis, you are a gullible idiot.

My President told me Jim Comey keeps eating his prosecutors so I asked how many prosecutors he has and he said he just goes to Mar-A-Lago and gets a new prosecutor afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding prosecutors to Jim Comey and then his Attorney General started crying.
The Justice Department could present a new indictment against James Comey to a grand jury as soon as this week.

No matter what, prosecutors will likely present new indictments against the former FBI director and New York Attorney General Letitia James to grand juries in the Eastern District of Virginia.
