There will come a time when the names of every ICE agent are public. Just like every law enforcement agency in America. These agents are fools to think they will not be held accountable.

Q: “How do you define socialism personally?” Vance: “I think in reality, what it actually means in the American context is that you want to replace American workers with foreign workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports.”

Sen. Roger Marshall says he didn't have the pregnant patient arrested over a $50 late bill. THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS AND DEFAMATORY!!! He had her arrested for not showing up to court when he sued her for being late for $50.

Blistering Barry Eichengreen essay on the stablecoin-focused Genius Act. He says it could return the US to the volatile 19th-century Free Banking Era. One panic in Michigan cost "almost half the state’s income." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/o...
This brings us to an even bigger issue: economic contagion. Back in the Free Banking era, the system was simpler and less interconnected, so the failure of one bank or even a cluster of them couldn’t trigger the collapse of the banking system and the economy. That’s not the case anymore. In the age of social media, rumors about bank insolvencies can spread in minutes — as they did in 2023, when Silicon Valley Bank collapsed.
