(she/her) Middle-aged fangirling about mostly Korean dramas and film. Also US politics and assorted intemperate outbursts. Probably food, too.

Oh nothing nothing just the Vice President of the United States saying aloud the truth. In the MAGA system, cutting people’s healthcare is mere minutiae as long as you can keep up with your mass deportations and fund your concentration camps.
Post from JD Vance that says 

Everything else-—the CBO score, the proper baseline, the minutiae of the Medicaid policy-is immaterial compared to the ICE money and immigration enforcement provisions.

according to conservatives on the court, the constitution does not protect your right to your own body but does enable the government to ship you off to a foreign gulag without any hope of return

Before endorsing Andrew Cuomo, I sat him down for a long talk, and we agreed that any future sexual contact he has with interns will be far more consensual. by Bill Clinton

Looks like somebody just wanted to get in on the sign fun but wasn't into Jesus. I mean, I think a lot of people have thought about it, right?

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

I think it's easier to understand the current media environment once you understand that a whole bunch of ambitious people are looking at our descent into authoritarian oligarchy and thinking it's a great opportunity to audition as a courtier.

Read the Judge's straightforward words today as he ordered the release of Rumeysa Ozturk: "There has been no evidence that has been introduced by the government other than the op-ed. I mean, that literally is the case."
“Her continued detention potentially chills the speech of the millions and millions of people in this country who are not citizens,” Judge William Sessions said during Friday’s hearing.

"There has been no evidence that has been introduced by the government other than the op-ed. I mean, that literally is the case,” he added.

“There is no evidence here as to the motivation, absent consideration of the op-ed, so that creates unto itself a very significant [and] substantial claim that the op-ed – that is, the expression of one's opinion as ordinarily protected by the First Amendment – form the basis of this particular detention.”

This is America.
Maydee, still confronting the officers, says
"Where is the warrant?" Officer Lugo, according to his nameplate, says "Ma'am we are trying our best but they are federal."
Morales again asks for the warrant.
"They're federal."
"They still need a warrant."
Another officer, frustrated, says "They don't need a warrant." Finally, one of them tells the truth. Due process is not a matter they're concerned with.

It's great, and that tension is a major part of the show. Also Kim Hye-ja is (unsurprisingly) amazing.

Award shows are kind of silly that way-- they try to compare too many performances that are just too different and fit in their respective shows in very different ways. It was even tougher on the women's side! That was impossible!

PBG was great in Tangerines, but I honestly thought Park Hae-Joon kind of ate his lunch as the older version of that char-- he absolutely got me every time he was on screen. And even though Trauma Code was kind of silly it wouldn't have worked at all without JJH. So many good performances this year!

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?
