I … worked on this story for a year and she just … said it from the bench
HAPPENING NOW: Judge Xinis comes in hot this morning after DOJ fails to produce the ICE detainer to keep Kilmar Abrego Garcia locked up.
She won't take DOJ's word for it that it exists.
"You have taken the presumption of regularity and you’ve destroyed it in my view," she says.

You can argue that most of it is harmless. But these "alt" accounts are feeding into some potentially dangerous stuff when they tell everyone to get out their secret decoder ring.

Let’s realize that both parties, when in power, have approved original Medicare and MA plans that enrich insurance companies at the expense of patients. Both parties let the HC industry get so opague, no one has a clue how the much care truly costs. Including most hospitals.
Americans can and should demand better from Congress on Medicare. People are seriously struggling during their peak earning years so the expectation should be that the American healthcare would be kicking their asses when their incomes drop by 60-80%. The GOP has already told us to drop dead.

There are 100k students in med school each year. Room and board is about 100k per year. For 10b a year, med school could be free. We would see a wholesale change in the profession, career paths and the cost of care.

Republican plans to cap student borrowing could shatter an everyday profession
One GOP senator said anyone paying more than $100K to go to med school is "making a huge mistake." But the median cost of attending one is more than double that for the class of 2025.

Big facts unfortunately.
After months, I remain unconvinced by this theory. That DHS is acting extremely unprofessionally is not evidence of secret J6ers. Rather, I believe it reflects longstanding culture problems within ICE, a chaotic multi-agency approach to raids, the corroding effects of quotas, and Miller’s extremism.
We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

Again, I think this will increase Mike Lee’s popularity, not decrease it. Trumpists want a swaggering, bullying douche.
The editorial board of a publication in Sen. Mike Lee's home state of Utah called on him to apologize for his posts about the Minnesota shootings, writing that they “were unacceptable for anyone, let alone from a member of the Senate.”

If they are NOT IDENTIED as police officers, you are free to use deadly force to resist. You do not have to stop until the identify themselves. Breanna Taylor case in point.
That’s a tough question. Resisting masked armed thugs in any circumstance can get you beaten or killed by the armed thugs. If the masked armed thugs are agents of the U.S. government it will also get you prosecuted for “assault on a federal officer” or “resisting arrest.”
