Where are the local law enforcement? These are crimes committed by lawless government agents. Prosecute them or the law means nothing.

I canโ€™t imagine why there are flight delays after the president said some government workers donโ€™t deserve back pay.

Central witness undermines case against James Comey, prosecutors concluded: Sources Ex-FBI Director James Comey is set to be arraigned Wednesday, but prosecutors investigating him determined that a central witness would prove "problematic," sources say.

Prosecution of Comey looks headed to a dead end.

"Federal prosecutors ... determined that a central witness in their probe would ... likely prevent them from establishing their case to a jury."

Fuck NBC for airing ICE recruitment ads that demonize immigrants.

Yes, I realize this post does nothing because NBC is not on bsky, only a few local stations are.

Important psychological component: their aggression is entirely premise on their belief that no one will fight back. They love coplaying soldier boy when thereโ€™s no perceived danger of being hurt or killed. Chicken hawks basically.

We don't take enough time to appreciate that I'm able to write this sentence on the other side of the planet from most of you and faster than a blink you see it

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Workers are โ€˜job huggingโ€™ in a stagnant labor market, but growing resentment means they could bail as soon as the next Great Resignation comes | Fortune More employees plan to stick around in their current jobs, despite growing economic concerns stoking resentment toward employers.

I canโ€™t keep up with these terms.

โ€œToday, as tariff uncertainty threatens companiesโ€™ growth plans and private equity funding slows, workers are staying put with extra anxiety. This act of โ€œjob huggingโ€ has workers hanging on to their positions โ€œfor dear life.โ€

Trump's tariffs may be bringing in a lot of revenue but they've also been a 'tax on capital, so far,' top economist says | Fortune The "mystery" of the 2025 economy is vastly different from the record profit margins of 2021 and 2022, Morgan Stanley's Michael Gapen says.

โ€œData shows that firms have reduced hiring to manage the shock of higher costs from tariffs. Surveys indicate that while roughly 2/3 of businesses affected by tariffs have not yet raised prices, many plan to do so, foreshadowing inflationary pressures in coming monthsโ€
