A raccoon entered a liquor store in Virginia and drank his fill: rum, moonshine, even peanut butter whiskey. Then it passed out on the floor of the bathroom.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?

TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded

BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino now admits that when he peddled bogus conspiracy theories about the pipe-bombs case, he didn’t know what he was talking about.

“I was paid in the past for my opinions,” he said.

I’m not sure if he’s fully thought this through. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

What's missing from this arrest affidavit, something that appears in ALL other January 6 affidavits, are data points showing that Brian Cole did ANYTHING between December 19, 2020, when Trump announced the rally and when he appears on Capitol Hill on January 5.

This week, I made it clear: Trump can take a hike. Trump's DOJ asked my Office for CO voter’s driver’s license number or the last four digits of their social security number. We will not comply with this request for Coloradans’ sensitive voting information. (1)

I've never seen an economist who looked and acted like such a weasel.
FOX: The numbers that we looked at show that inflation is still higher than wage growth

HASSETT: No. Wage growth is higher than inflation now. I'll send you an email

FOX: Inflation is at 2.9%

HASSETT: Real wage growth is $1,200 over the year. I'll show it to you

Kamlager-Dove: We also know that DHS has a habit of taking people to hospitals under false names so they cannot be located. This prevents their family members and lawyers from getting to them. And so we want to know: is this what also happened to Vicente?

A federal court recently ruled ICE’s pattern of warrantless arrest in CO unlawful - a huge win for immigrant families, civil rights, and the rule of law. As Attorney General, I’ll fight to hold every powerful actor accountable when they break the law.

The 66-page decision came three weeks after four immigrants testified that ICE agents had arrested them without warrants and without first checking to see whether they were likely to flee.

An entire room full of powerful old white people smiling and laughing as the president dehumanizes black immigrants and the first black president.

Just fucking pathetic.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

Good article in Barron's summarizing the trajectory of Tesla's auto business. But the headline is incorrect.

2025 will be the second consecutive year of wholesale decline from the Shanghai factory. 2024 was down 3.3% from 2023.

Hivemind, I have a challenge. Popular culture is dominated by the car (car chases, cop dramas etc), helping us accept a car-dominated urban environment as normal. Can you think of any examples of popular culture highlighting bikes, trams, walking etc? I can only think of A Streetcar Named Desire.
