Judge Howell just enjoined warrantless immigration arrests in DC without probable cause to believe the person is a flight risk.

can only imagine what this feels like for a Somali-American teen or grade schooler.
President Trump unleashed a xenophobic tirade against Somali immigrants on Tuesday during a publicly broadcast cabinet meeting, calling them “garbage” he does not want in the U.S. as he sought to refocus public attention on his anti-immigration rhetoric.

Several new tech start-ups are building replicas of sites so A.I. can learn to use the internet and maybe replace white-collar workers.

Ds don't seem to be getting what they need out of Nashville. But if the margin lands at R+3, that's a D+19 shift from 2024 -- we're not talking a wave, we're talking tsunami

Trump DOJ official Harmeet Dhillon describes the crackdown on schools & speech in response to alleged antisemitism.
Minutes later, asked about Nick Fuentes, she says: “the antidote to speech that you don't like is more speech. It isn't shutting down speech.”

Just a note to U.S. friends - a Prime Minister who referred to members of Parliament and media as "garbage", "pigs" "retarded", "scum" etc. would be run out of town on a rail. Disgraced and replaced.

If I could repost this five times I would. The Trump goons have opened the Overton Window so beeping wide that the most basic questions about why America is killing people on the high seas are being ignored.
Remember this when China blows up ships in the South China Sea on some random justification.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

A most important question on the Sept. 2 double-tap strike is who had "target engagement authority" (TEA).
Wall Street Journal:
"A Defense Department official ... said Hegseth was the 'target engagement authority,' the key figure who authorized the strike."

"It is ridiculous, it is embarrassing". Sen. Mark Kelly rips Pete Hegseth, noting he's in the National Command Authority for nuclear weapons, yet he's posting "turtles with rocket-propelled grenades". Kelly says he should be fired.

I have deliberately, for my sanity, avoided as much as physically possible, of this bizarre tale, and I want them banished from public life. Public discourse is filled with the shittiest people. And I say that for all three countries I spend sometime observing.
I read the latest Lizza thing & somehow it all just gets grosser & grosser. What's described is not "a violation" of journalistic standards, but systematic, repeated, willful violation of those standards by both the subject of the posts & their author! Banish these people from public life.

Proposed follow up questions:
Oh. Well then, when did Pete know about it, and what did he do about it?
When he found out about it, did he know the second attack was in order to kill the shipwrecked?
