The Laken Riley Act Spells Chaos for the Immigration System
The U.S. immigration system isn’t ready for the havoc and expense this bill could unleash. But the real pain will be felt by the immigrants the bill targets.

"They might tax some of my billions or put some mild regulatory restraints on the growth of my businesses, therefore I will endorse fascism" is not savvy. It's not clever. It's not understandable or forgivable. It's shitty, just like it looks on the surface.

Just to be clear, since the Governor's announcement and the headlines intentionally obscure this fact, what they are "approving" now is ordinary debt secured financing already agreed to by the legislature. www.nola.com/news/politic...

"For so many years, there was a really strict line in the sand when it came to sports betting. Then the tide slowly began turning internally. It was very troubling for me to see the normalization of betting and ESPN’s complete acceptance of that, and finally, they just decided to go all in."

Can’t Allow Elon Musk the Power to Intervene in Wars No individual should be able to disrupt military ops like Musk did with Ukraine’s. I wrote that when he did it in 2023. Was told the problem was contract rules. Nope. Happened again. The problem is too much power, esp for an enemy of democracy.

The U.S. Government Can’t Allow Elon Musk the Power to Intervene in Wars
The billionaire’s interference in Ukrainian military operations shows he’s a national security risk. No private citizen should have that much power.

BP has locked out its workers in Whiting, Indiana for 6.5 months and counting. The company is now appealing their unemployment benefits, a move that could force union members to pay back the assistance they've already received. Workers told me the company is trying to starve them.

Not only do jurors and grand jurors have a right to nullify, individual citizens also have a right to advocate for nullification to the public. This investigation is unlawful retaliation against the exercise of core constitutional rights.

What fresh hell of a framing is this?? "alleges the groups are advocating for the long-debated practice of jury nullification" Long-debated?! It's literally part of the our founding origin story: the Zenger trial in 1735! It's not "debated"! It's a fundamental core REASON FOR THE JURY AT ALL.

Digger is a good example of how reception affects perception, because the message "art can't speak truth to power" coming from a two-time Oscar-winning director and the most famous movie star ever only feels subversive when their movie turns out to be the biggest flop of all time

During the timeout, Daniel Carlson was out on the field sizing up the goal post from about the 40 or so. Wishful thinking given where the Saints are starting this drive

The Saints should just use today to see what happens if they give CJ Donaldson 40 carries. Don't even consider the final score of the game. That's not something they can win anyway.
