Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

The DOJ has confirmed that President Trump blocked the release of more than 4,100 documents requested as part of a lawsuit brought by injured January 6 police officers.

With this action, the president is directly blocking a case alleging that he helped to fuel the deadly riot. trib.al/o6IVFjF

I accidentally locked myself out of my apartment. But at least I have a 20 year old DSLR to keep me company.

Health insurers are jacking up premiums while raking in billions in profits.

Expiring ACA subsidies will saddle millions of Americans with massive monthly premium increases.

Is it any wonder that 63% of Americans now support Medicare for All?

Alex Proyas' Dark City - Director's Cut (1998) is neglected outside a small cut following. It rivals The Matrix (1999) in theming, cinematography, set design and acting. The original version is quite good, but was marred in the first two minutes by unnecessary narration due to studio interference

I'd argue that its 1965 release changed Rock and Roll for the better. It kicked open the doors and broke all the windows. Fiat sonus! Fiat musica! link.deezer.com/s/31N0B0eAqy...

Honestly, no officer should need advice to decide if "kill these guys flailing around in the water" is a legal order
My understanding is that, at the height of the "drone war on terror" that when the military officer thought the legality of a particular strike was legally dubious, they'd have a CIA guy actually "pull the trigger". I wonder if that is happening in our current "War on Fishing Boats"?

A woman recently went viral for holding up a window sign during a traffic stop, part of a growing trend of drivers using cards to assert their rights instead of speaking to police.

If Joe Biden had claimed that he redesigned the hulls of Coast Guard cutters, we'd be way over in 25th amendment territory.
With Trump, it's so common that most Americans don't even notice it now.
Trump during his Thanksgiving call with service members: "We're ordered a lot of Coast Guard cutters. Brand new, beautiful, the best machines in the world. I'm a looks person. I wanted the hull to be perfect. You know, I sort of redesigned the hull a little bit. The hulls. But we ordered a lot."

Anyone seen Sebastian Maniscalco's commercial where he praises Jeff Bezos transforming from nerd to shredded on his super yacht in the Mediterranean & plugs Amazon's shipping, then cuts to a name drop of Venmo? It's not only a commercial for Sebastian, but also for Bezos, Amazon & Venmo. Sell out!

Didn’t the FBi pull a lot of personnel from anti terrorism to put them on deportations?

Actually the whole security establishment pivoted
