Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.
A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.
We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

What's going with habeas and ICE kidnappings is a perfect example of what I mean when I say courts won't save us.
Recently, ICE/the BIA made up a rule, saying nearly everyone ICE kidnaps is subject to "mandatory detention" (ie, no bail/bond).
282 out of 288 of judges to hear habeas cases disagree.

![The gravamen of this dispute is whether Demirel’s detention is mandatory under INA
§ 235(b) (8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)) or discretionary under § 236(a) (8 U.S.C. § 1226(a)). “The vast

It appears to ban any contraception that prevents a fertilized egg from implanting. That would ban IUDs and could strictly limit in-vitro fertilization.
