NEW: Republicans are flooding key races with a massive deluge of money … but it’s not translating to a similar advantage on the airwaves. In a special Sunday piece, we explain why. And perhaps most notable, the GOP spending spree has yet to register in the polls.

Why the GOP's spending advantage is nowhere near as big as it looks

New data shows Republicans are getting very poor bang for their buck

Just the design of it, with all the text and stuff going on around the sides of the videos makes me feel like I’m losing my mind.

We’re at the “shipping container courts” stage of ICE’s mass expansion of the enforcement system.

Each detention unit would sit on asphalt or concrete behind an office's existing security fence, with a counter for processing people and a separate holding area fitted with a toilet and sink for detainees according to the draft work statement.
The agency also wants a 300-square-foot unit for interviewing people in custody and a 60-square-foot "Virtual Immigration Court Unit" for hearings run by the Executive Office for Immigration Review, the Justice Department agency that operates the immigration courts.
Both must also be designed for their purpose before delivery.

Ok yeah there were hints of some of this in the memoir, specifically the astrology and LSD stuff. Good lord.

The whiplash I got when checking reviews for this "Permanent Mulch Recycled Rubber Pathway."

The product image for "Raedon Permanent Mulch Recycled Rubber Pathway"

Bought some of these four years ago and they were still holding up very well, but I own a hair salon and decide to glue hair and make it into a hair path which worked for a while but now it looks disgusting so I needed to replace it

Literary fiction is coming. It is going to revolutionize the economy. We know that China has already got a start on literary fiction. We can’t afford to be left out of the literary fiction economy. Think of your kids. They might already be engaging with literary fiction.
