Looks like the $3 million + that James Dolan raised for pro-surveillance gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman wasn't enough. Dolan is holding a $10K/head fundraiser for him at MSG, per the @nypost.com. At a Knicks pre-season game.

If Trump just takes money appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose & seizes it to use it for an entirely different purpose, what is the point of having a Congress or appropriating money for anything? I’m sure the Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins must be concerned.

This is an indirect measure of how much hypocrisy is baked into partisan politics now, at least for the GOP. They assume that they can accuse future Dem Presidents of engaging in authoritarian actions, regardless of whether if it is true or not, while dismissing any questioning of their integrity.

ICE abducted a WBB player while she was traveling with her Kentucky State team in early August at Louisville airport. She has been imprisoned for 1.5 months and denied care for a serious ACL injury. It is the responsibility of universities and the NCAA to protect their players. They have failed.
Aminata Seck, 26, a student-athlete at Kentucky State University, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport while traveling with her school's basketball team Aug. 7, said Sadiqa Reynolds, a lawyer helping coordinate Seck's case.

Seck's team was headed to New York for a tournament, and she was taken into custody after going through airport security, said Reynolds, former president and CEO of the Louisville Urban League.
