Judge Boasberg’s Most Recent Decision The plaintiffs in J.G.G.

Requiring the gov’t to do the right thing may look like a small thing in the context of one case, but it’s important to understand just how big it is. Judge Boasberg rules in the case where the Trump administration sent men to CECOT prison. joycevance.substack.com/p/judge-boas...

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ β€œnew restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

I recognize this is not really a "date" but I can't change the way things started out for us, and our first actual date was a week later.

Was out w/a friend (20 yrs my sr.); ran into her daughter's friend. She intro'd us; he joined our table. I went to the bathroom & when I came back, my older friend had left! My new friend & I drove to the beach, sat in the car & talked & listened to the ocean most of the night. Married 40 years now.

Former Fox Anchor: To use the Dow reaching 50,000 to cover up for this massive sex ring is despicable. I was so upset that somebody would try to deflect what these women and children have gone through to try and pump up Trump. This was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

Thank you to the good people of Long Beach - and my friend Mayor Rex Richardson - for the warm welcome back and for a timely conversation about housing, community, and belonging.

This essay says it all.

Dissent is the most American thing there is. The republic was born in it.

Donald Trump has proven himself to be the most anti-American leader to grasp the reins of power.

WE FOUND THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE.

Nope! I don’t want my tax dollars funding DHS brutality, and I definitely don’t want it paying for Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski to jet-set around the country and fuck in a private cabin on a luxury $70M 737 Max.

Listen to this mess.

NY AG delays depositions of Trump, 2 of his children, following death of Ivana Trump Depositions of former President Donald Trump and two of his children in connection with the New York AG's probe have been delayed following the death of Ivana Trump.

I thought she was scheduled to testify too, but upon checking, she wasn't. Her family was scheduled to give depositions. abcnews.com/Politics/ny-...

Host: So when Donald Trump walked in, there were women in there who weren't fully clothed.

Hughes: Correct. Women were not fully clothed when Donald Trump came in.

Host: And some of those women were, what, as young as 15?

Hughes: Yeah, as 15 years old.

Remember Prop 50 in CA?
Virginia's similar ballot measure election is coming on April 21. Voting YES means yes to redistricting that favors Dems.

A local Limerick playwright did a play about the extras on John Ford's Rising of the Moon filming (staged on scene, so we got to see a church that is not normally open as part of watching it). It focused on the stale buns, reneged wages, and promised Porter.

This, similarly, should become a play.

Jack Smith was sent a copy of Volume II to prepare for his testimony on the Hill, though he told Congress he didn't open it. So I think he has a copy, unless it was some kind of temporary access to a DOJ system like the DOJ Epstein Files computer terminals.

I know this is about Noem, who is reprehensible, but I can't help but notice that the second picture looks like a "have you seen me" post for someone who wandered away from the memory care unit.
