Earlier this week, I talked to Nicholas Enrich, former USAID official, about his new book "Into the Woodchipper," which details the agency's dismantling and whether anyone in charge understood what they were destroying. Listen to it wherever you get your podcasts! youtu.be/naftZg7waOw?...

the enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Laws in the early 1850s reads as awfully similar to current federal immigration enforcement in blue cities

The crowd was led by William Parker, a runaway slave at whose home two of the fugitives were hiding. The slaveowner died in the affray, Parker and the fugitives fled to Canada, and the administration of Millard Fillmore obtained indictments for treason-a capi-tal crime-against forty-one men, the largest such mass indictment in American history. Pursuing the case proved almost impossible in an area with strong antislavery sentiment. Only one person, a white miller who claimed to have been an innocent bystander, was brought to trial. After deliberating for only 15 minutes, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty.

Stonks gonna go crazy tomorrow: "The challenged Tariff Orders will be vacated and their operation permanently enjoined."

The court holds for the foregoing reasons that IEEPA does not authorize any of the Worldwide, Retaliatory, or Trafficking Tariff Orders. The Worldwide and Retaliatory Tariff Orders exceed any authority granted to the President by IEEPA to regulate importation by means
of tariffs. The Trafficking Tariffs fail because they do not deal with the threats set forth in those orders. This conclusion entitles Plaintiffs to judgment as a matter of law; as the court further finds no genuine dispute as to any material fact, summary judgment will enter against the United States. See USCIT R. 56. The challenged Tariff Orders will be vacated and their operation permanently enjoined.

and to be clear the search and rescue dogs were fr fired so i guess we all gotta hope there aren't any natural disasters for a bit

Other terminated contracts included ones with urban search and rescue teams in Virginia and California that deploy to afflicted areas in the wake of natural disasters such as the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria two years ago, according to the former U.S.A.I.D. official.
