David Ellison is a nepo baby poster child. In 2006 his daddy financed a movie called “flyboys” that was a huge flop and pretty much ended his non existent acting career. Now he’s running “sky dance” on daddy’s money buying all the studios

This will be one of the most important immigration cases in a generation. The Trump admin claims that a 1996 law mandates the detention of millions of people without any right to a bond hearing; every person who entered illegally, no matter how long in the past. If they win, it's a nightmare.
