New development in J.G.G. v. Trump: The administration asked SCOTUS to lift the order blocking them from unlawfully using the Alien Enemies Act to deport immigrants without due process.

Secretary Rubio’s revoking legal immigration status for voicing opinions in disagreement with the administration’s is an abhorrent overreach of government power. The Judiciary has been clear - the Constitution applies to everyone in this country, not just citizens. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Marco Rubio says US revoked at least 300 foreign students' visas - BBC News

So I decided to use ChatGPT for its god-intended purpose of helping me spam my elected officials with letters. I was closing out my convo with it and got the most wholesome reply complete with emojis. #chatgpt #AI #resist #wholesome

The year is 2028. The Chiefs lock up their sixth consecutive Super Bowl berth against the 49ers. Octogenarians are debating each other in the primaries. Elon is introducing Tesla’s new model which is a cross between a PT Cruiser and a Scion xB. Minimum wage is $7.25. Eat Arby’s. #SuperBowl

I didn’t want Eagles in the Super Bowl, but it’s hard not being happy for Saquon Barkley. We knew the Giants squandered him but WOW.

Dreamed of being Aragorn, born to be Gimli, forced to be Merry on Monday mornings because I need a strong woman (my wife) to tell me that I must have courage for our friends when I don’t want to get out of bed and start the work week.

I think my biggest confusion with the election results is people claiming they voted Trump because of economic messaging. Inflation hit hard, and the cost of living is absurd - a plan to levy tariffs will increase inflation, not decrease it.
