Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell.
Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

special kind of surreal, on the day when we remember white europeans being welcomed and fed by native peoples and giving thanks, as some of the descendants of those first europeans are waging a white nationalist campaign of terror against non-white immigrants before sitting down to eat with family

It's sort of ironic because Halligan screwed up prosecuting a fake crime, likely because of inexperience (and malice).
Willis was very experienced and she screwed up a real, serious crime because she thought she could get away with sleeping with her subordinates.

We have gotten so used to Great Replacement becoming normalized that most people hardly noticed that a racist, antisemitic, xenophobic conspiracy theory popularized by mass shooters and 4chan trolls is now government policy.
The U.S. State Department is repeating a white nationalist conspiracy theory.
On Friday, it claimed that “mass migration poses an existential threat to Western civilization.”
That line comes straight from the Great Replacement myth: the lie that immigration is a plot to erase white populations.

Narrator: “That was not the oath they had taken.”
BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?
McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took
(Not a no!)

only thing i have to say about this is that rogue one is still the best star war, but otherwise its pretty much correct
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

When MSM journalists say “the economy” they *always* mean business profits or Wall St.
Not consumer surplus or worker wages, which are obviously part of the economy.

Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.
