This story is another BIG problem for the Trump admin; in Abrego Garcia's criminal case in Tennessee, evidence shows the DOJ seriously mislead the judge about the extent to which Deputy AG Blanche and his office were involved in filing the case, bolstering the case for dismissal.
Judge Crenshaw wants to make public his 12/3 ruling discussing the key role Dep AG Todd Blanche’s office played in deciding to prosecute Abrego Garcia. But Crenshaw is apparently giving govt 'til 12/30 to appeal his rulings rejecting govt's atty-client & other privilege claims ...

Here’s What Happens Now That Republicans Have Thrown Us Over the Obamacare Cliff

ACA marketplace enrollees are set to see their health insurance costs spike. But when premium tax credits expire, profound systemic shocks will be felt well beyond individual customers.

The DOJ identified at least 10 co-conspirators who worked with Epstein and Maxwell. It’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Epstein and Maxwell were engaged in organized crime, yet NO ONE ELSE involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring has faced criminal charges. Why?

Newly released government data undermines Trump’s ‘worst of the worst’ narrative.
Nearly 60 Percent of Tennessee ICE Arrests Involve People with no Convictions
Newly released government data undermines Trump’s ‘worst of the worst’ narrative. Meantime, ICE is arresting numbers of children, too.

The whole "strategy" behind this is to discourage higher education so voters will be stupider and vote Republican.
I’m sure this will be popular. 5 million people are in default right now. The Dept of Ed estimates as many as 10 million by end of next year because of job market.

Tennessee is bottom 10 of 50 states for virtually every quality of life measure including child mortality, average income, average lifespan, you name it. TNGOP is housing DCS kids in office buildings. They don’t care about children, regardless of how “pro life” they say they are.
Gov. Bill Lee last year decided to forgo $84M for the federally-funded Summer EBT program, which has helped feed 700,000 Tennessee kids when school is out. He hasn't said if he will take the money this year. @anitawadhwani.bsky.social reports.

Gov. Bill Lee has yet to announce whether Tennessee will participate in Summer EBT, a federal program to feed low-income kids during summer.

Europe has learned; you don't bargain with the bully. Call out his BS loudly when he starts trying to slide into your space.

Good for them for telling him NO in plain language

I’d advise all parents of high schoolers check to see if your child’s school has implemented and discuss with your young adults the truth about this organization!
Turning Point USA has built 100s of high school chapters, backed by national funding and paid staff whose job is to recruit teenagers and pressure schools to approve clubs.

You've never had to apologize for being white in America, but of course, that's not really what Vance is trying to tell his rabid followers. What he's really trying to tell them is that they don't need to apologize for believing they should have it easier because they're white.

Deleted this because the audio makes it clear that he's not claiming that first question was the easy part. He says the later parts (where you have to put hands on a clock, for instance) is hard, but not that.

At this point, the only way they could be more obvious is if they started showing up to these things wearing white hoods.
