An ethics waiver is for when you waive ethics
The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.
So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding?
Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.
ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
Correct take.
They’re calling it the most divorced anyone has ever been

It would be a mistake to see Trumpism as authoritarianism imposed on an unwilling nation, as opposed to authoritarianism implemented in a nation with a plurality that is already made up of authoritarian bootlickers who created the context for Trumpism to thrive.
The stated reason for ICE agents being in Minnesota is because of the ongoing fraud claims around daycare and other services.
The two prosecutors leading those investigations have now resigned in the wake of Renee Good’s shooting. Even the internal supposed logic of this deployment is falling apart
the murderers just need different costumes
cannot stress enough that they are abducting legal observers left and right and people are hearing about this happening to other people and still immediately going “alright where can i go to help now”
BREAKING
Fed Chair Jerome Powell says he’s under federal investigation.
The Fed chair says subpoenas and the threat of criminal charges are retaliation for refusing to set interest rates according to the president’s wishes.

abolishing the domestic terror group ICE is the moderate position at this point
It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.
It is illegal under United States law for foreign leaders to have machine guns.

We had congressional hearings when parents just suspected heavy metal was leading some kids to suicide.
Made it up to Rovaniemi, Finland, pet and ate reindeer, rode with and kissed a sled dog, met the actual Santa Claus at his actual village in the actual Arctic Circle, and made it through an entire holiday season without hearing “Do They Know It’s Christmas” once. Kickass December.
Rob Reiner directed some of the most beloved movies of all time, including Stand By Me, This is Spinal Tap, and The Princess Bride. His production company also made movies like The Shawshank Redemption, Before Sunrise and Michael Clayton. The film industry has lost one of its titans.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
All from his movies.
The repeated pattern (see also Washington Post) is that these choices to veer rightward are not economic decisions: they turn off the core audience. Editorial choices are loss leaders for bigger corporate goals.
The Madrid airport is unmistakably “Thirteen Ghosts”-coded
The 25th anniversary of Bush v Gore is today. The conspiracy mongering & corruption of the GOP has been brewing for a long time.
Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh were all on Bush's legal team, where they pushed unfounded legal theories. SC justices were already enmeshed in voter fraud myths.
This is an argument I have made for a while - if you want to allow more new housing development, you'll face a lot less opposition if you protect existing tenants with rent regulation. Nice to have some more evidence to back that up.
@americanair.bsky.social: for when you want to take two goddamned days to reach Helsinki.
ah, the “we believe we will prevail on appeal” exception to following the law
Alina Habba’s parents emigrated to the US from Iraq citing persecution.
Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.
