A video from inside a Border Patrol vehicle shows agents chasing a US citizen for filming them. The citizen refused to get out when they illegally ordered him to stop. The agents say: "This is great." "This is fun." "He's going to get shot."

He's proposing this again today:

1. Take money away from insurance companies.

2. Give that money to the people.

3. The people can then buy their own insurance.

4. From, presumably, companies that sell insurance.

5. Which are also known as "insurance companies."

Yikes. Banning people for activities such as co-authorship and advising a graduate student is completely unreasonable in a modern research environment. And a retroactive 5 year ban is wildly unfair.

It’s not at all surprising that Bill Donahue is inserting himself into this discussion, which is rapidly becoming a Voltron of the worst people on earth, but it still amazes me that he thinks “most Catholic sex abuse victims were actually over the age of 10” is in any way exculpatory.

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

The SNAP fight at the Supreme Court is officially over. Trump's Department of Justice acknowledges that SNAP is now fully funded through the end of the fiscal year and thus withdraws its request for an additional stay. The end of the shutdown mooted the case before SCOTUS could touch the merits.

Another pardoned January 6 attacker arrested and charged with other, new felonies (in this case, kidnapping and sexual assault).

And don’t miss the part where he got caught firing off a gun on Jan. 6. You may recall the argument that it couldn’t have been an insurrection because it wasn’t armed.
A Trump supporter who fired off a gun during the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol was arrested last month on kidnapping and sexual assault charges, according to the Cook County Sheriff’s Office in Illinois.
