If you can't petition the government to let them know why they are holding you and give you an audience with someone about your detention, do you have -other- civil liberties? If they don't need to ever tell you -why- they are detaining you, are you ever free at all
not an accident that habeas corpus is one of the absolute foundational rights--and not an accident that ICE is working overtime to undermine it as much as possible
Excellent explanation of how ICE moves immigrants from one prison facility to another to deny them access to justice.

"what happens if the USD loses safe harbour status but everyone else doesn't want to put in the work to make an alternative work?"
Once again, I ask how the math of other currencies replacing the dollar is going to go so long as neither 🇪🇺 nor 🇨🇳 is willing to do any of the things required to actually replace the dollar:

I have no idea if he will run for any office again but United States Senator @whstancil.bsky.social seems legitimately possible if he wants it and the Republic would be better off for it. IMO

The story of a hegemonic empire falling because of its people decadence is a story as old as time but I gotta say the sheer stupidity of our fall is a new one.

The College Football Playoff final happening on the same day The Australian Open Starts is bad. The sports calendar has moved on and literally nobody it talking about or thinking about college football anymore. Really need to have the playoff wrapped up before the NFL playoff start.

So many of these perma-discourse topics are just middle-aged men looking for something to talk about -- that's why we have sports!

I am hearing that on his deathbed Scott Adams received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

It will never not be darkly funny to me that American workers got a hot job market where they had bargaining power for the first time in their lives and are so dumb they were easily propagandized into thinking that was a bad thing.
ADP private payrolls “added 614k jobs in 2025 ... other than the dramatic decline in 2020, that is the weakest year we've seen going back to 2011.”

I think Covid caused a YOLO mindset that has been hard to adjust our priors for. People don't behave like they did pre pandemic and they probably never will again.
I have no idea how this affects macro policy and outcomes going forward but I don’t think it will have positive outcomes.

When it comes to the US economy, this is perhaps the single most important chart.
It shows that although personal consumption by Americans is up (blue line), it's coming at the expense of savings because incomes have stopped growing:
