Nothing pithy or view-from-nowhere-journalisty to say about this. Pete Hegseth needs to be removed from public office, at a bare minimum, and as soon as possible.

1/6 A federal judge in Oklahoma threw out Flock license-plate-reader evidence, ruling a warrantless search of a month of a driver's movements unconstitutional — citing June's Supreme Court Chatrie decision. First of its kind:

The new Carrie clips I've seen seem promising, but I promised not to take any Carrie adaptation seriously until they cast an actress with some weight. It'll always be amusing to me that in a story about a teenage girl driven to tragedy by bullying, they won't show a major part of her bullying.

This is so dumb. And so immoral. It makes no economical or ethical sense to not provide basic income and then pay even more than that to put people in jail for the crime of having too little money, not to mention in the context of rent costing far more than it should. Do basic income + housing.

Also, I want to highlight this part of the case for all the pilots and avgeeks out there. I’ve heard ICE is doing this with manifests from a number of sources, but this is, as far as I know, the first confirmation. Really shows the complicity of the pilot-in-command. This was an Omni flight.
In the latest court filing, ICE officials did not deny any of his claims, and appeared to confirm at least one of them, saying the charter flight's manifest—a printed receipt given to pilots listing all passengers and crew on a flight—
"served as the travel document."
