Deep dives into #immigration including options for athletes, artists, and scholars. Occasionally veering into the absurd. Bad puns. So many bad puns. #rugby #coffee #streetart #beekeeping

The Dow has dropped below 50,000. Someone ask Pam Bondi if we are allowed to care about the trafficking of minors now.

In 2017, Jeffrey Epstein said "Some at dinner with Biden last night were concerned about dementia…did not recognize old friends.”

Ooos, my bad. He said that about Trump.

Immigrants’ Recent Effects on Government Budgets: 1994–2023 Our analysis in this paper shows that immigrants generated a fiscal surplus of about $14.5 trillion from 1994 to 2023, that the average immigrant is much less costly than the average US-born American,...

The U.S. immigrant population paid more in taxes than they used in government benefits every year from 1994 to 2023, cutting deficits by nearly a third. It is undoubtably that the US fiscal position would be significantly worse without immigration. www.cato.org/white-paper/...

Trump sold β€˜spy sheikh’ $500m stake in family crypto empire Abu Dhabi royal was granted access to US-made AI chips that Biden had blocked

This occurred after the administration approved the sale of AI chips to the country, which had previously been denied due to national security concerns. No previous administration would have survived such overt corruption & damage to US national security

Several media outlets have reported that a lieutenant to a member of the United Arab Emirates' royal family secretly invested $500 million in Trump's "fledgling" World Liberty Financial cryptocurrency company.

Yes. The tone is the problem. Maybe the execution of innocent individuals in cold blood is a teensy problem as well.

Republican Chris Madel exits Minnesota governor's race, calls federal "retribution" on state unconstitutional "I cannot support the national Republicans stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so," Madel said.

"I cannot support the national Republicans stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so,"

It is time for more Reps of conscience to leave the party that supports extrajudicial killings of citizens.

A real thing said by Kayleigh McEnany: β€œWhat message does that send when you can just throw sandwiches at CBP officials?”

I’m not sure she will like the answer.

The President nodded off during a talk on obesity & dementia given by Dr Oz. Secretary of HHS immediately pulled an β€œexit, stage left” when someone collapsed during a White House press conference, & the President did whatever this is. The writers of Veep would reject this as too implausible
