It seems to me Congress should hold off on funding elaborate conspiracies to violate the Constitution.
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

Until today, Helsinki was our worst moment in public diplomacy, but this is the new Hall of Famer
At this point, has America ever had a more embarrassing moment on the global stage in our history? I certainly can’t think of one.

CARNEY: “.. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.” 🔥
Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

I would go there on a Sunday afternoon and listen to Glenn Miller on the AM radio with old guys. I learned of this ritual after a painful breakup and I wanted a drink in the afternoon and went in. Listening to "Moonlight Serenade" while silently drinking shots and beers with old men healed me :)

The Dugout, popular Fenway dive bar, to close after near-century of colorful operation - The Boston Globe
Established in 1934, the Dugout was granted one of the first liquor licenses after the repeal of Prohibition, though legend has it the spot was unofficially open years earlier.

This EU response to the 10% tariffs announced by the US earlier this weekend comes ahead of what are expected to be high-stakes, intense negotiations.
(In the process, the EU is discovering that US tariff policy is what Game Theorist call "a multi-round game.")

Eric Swalwell answering a question on how the next governor of California will protect Californians from ICE.
“They're going to lose their immunity. They're not going to be able to drive. I will take your driver's license. Good luck walking to work, assholes.”

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account.
Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

Rogan: "You don't want militarized people in the streets just roaming around, snatching up people — many of which turn out to be U.S. citizens that just don't have their papers on them. Are we really gonna be the Gestapo, 'Where's your papers?' Is that what we've come to?"

You have my attention.
What makes you feel better now? I think a lot of us would be relieved to understand it from an expert.
