Huh. Apparently Katie Miller deleted this tweet that I had the foresight to screencap. Turns out I can TOO make things go viral on Xitter, even.
My RT of a Katie Miller tweet which RTed the NYPost coverage of the Ilhan Omar raid. 

She said: Promise made, promise kept.
I said: Katie Miller is not going to do very well in a deposition.

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

Judge Jeffrey Beaverstock (Trump1) imposes a stay on immigration policies going to 4A in case of Leo Vanegas, a US citizen snatched twice from privately owned construction sites in AL. The decision directly interprets Kavanaugh Stops. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The Court has considered the implication of both remedies and determined the best
course of action is to temporarily stay the policies. Although this Court has found that Venegas is likely to succeed on the merits, it also recognizes that “[a]n injunction is a drastic and
extraordinary remedy,” Monsanto Co. v. Geertson Seed Farms, 561 U.S. 139, 165, 130 S.Ct. 2743,
177 L.Ed.2d 461 (2010). In the Court’s opinion, staying the likely unlawful policies is a less drastic
remedy sufficient to redress Plaintiff’s alleged injury. See e.g., Kidd v. Mayorkas, 734 F.Supp.3d
967, 987 (S.D. Cal. May 15, 2024) (“the Court finds the less drastic remedy of vacatur to be
sufficient to redress the “Knock and Talk” Class's injury”). Accordingly, the Court will temporarily
stay the (1) Warrantless Entry Policy (permitting immigration officers to raid private construction
sites without a warrant or consent), (2) Preemptive Detention Policy (permitting immigration
officers to preemptively detain employees without a particularized suspicion that persons are
illegal immigrants), and (3) Continued Detention Policy (permitting immigration officers to
continue detaining workers even after they show evidence of citizenship or lawful presence.

Hmm, doing what you always do. 🗑️ 🗑️ 🗑️
TAPPER: So, it sounds as though he's saying Democrats would allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. He's also saying, of course, the war is going to end after the midterms. What's your response?

PELOSI: Well, first of all, let's just say it's not about always responding to Donald Trump. I know that must attract advertisers, but it doesn't win the election. We have to talk about what we're going to do for the American people. Hakeem Jeffries is going to be the speaker. He is preparing how we win, how we protect the election and what we're going to do when we win.

Our country is at war. We always root for our country under any circumstance. So, let's get this done, Mr. President. 

You said it would take a few weeks. Clearly, you did not know what you were talking about. And you're sounding like Richard Nixon when you say you're going to end this right after the election. But okay for that.

The fact is so sad about this war because it was could've been so totally avoided. President Obama was masterful, virtuoso diplomatic accomplishment when he did the Iran nuclear agreement. And they had stopped -- we accomplished all of our goals. 

Except this one comes in, tears that up and now says he's going to stop the development of nuclear weapon in Iran, which he hasn't.

So, it's really sad, but our troops are in harm's way, and this is not a small potatoes thing as that person you had on the screen might refer to it. Small potatoes is not how we describe our men and women in uniform risking their lives.

So, this Iran war is taking a toll on the nation because people don't like us going to war in the first place. Second of all, it's increasing the cost of price at the pump, gasoline for farmers, increasing the price of food and groceries. 

So, this has an impact right at the kitchen table of the American people, in addition to not protecting the security of our country.
