Conservatives who once railed against federal agents now applaud them Since Ruby Ridge and Waco, some right-wing populists had excoriated federal law enforcement. Now those agents are being deployed by their allies.

More than 30 years ago, a botched standoff in Idaho and a conflagration at a cult compound in Texas sparked hostility toward federal law enforcement by the right.

Now President Trump is deploying agencies as an armed presidential force of sorts. https://wapo.st/49CyfaX

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

The Miami Hurricanes, it seems, DO belong in the CFP. Or something like that. I don't know. I just watch the games and root against THE Ohio State.

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?

Morning.

Crockett on MTG resigning: "Honestly, I was like, you got to be kidding. You're on the other side of the president for one week and you can't take the heat? Imagine what it is to sit in my shoes."

I like Presidents who know how to spell "tacos".

Loved the #GeneralConference message from #ElderHolland. Like the man born blind, #ElderHolland is of age; would you not give his testimony at least some consideration? The Book of Mormon in his life is like the spit and clay that healed the man born blind. He closed with #AmazingGrace.

Using LLMs in this context essentially guarantees that existing biases are maintained and reflected consistently. There’s no longer a way to seek out a “good doctor” if they’re all flattened into using the same poisoned data sets. There is no argument in favor of the ethics of any of this.

That right side is pretty droopy for a person who definitely did not have a stroke recently.

The comparison to MLK sent me over the edge. I have zero respect for the people who think like that person, and there’s a Lot of them.

I’ve seen some of this too, and I’m finding it really hard to comprehend how people could have listened to Kirk and believe he was a force for good, or peace. And comparing him with MLK is breathtakingly absurd. I agree, this is so indicative of the trouble we’re in.

So, this is both amusing & scary at a time like this. @brandendurst unblocked me to post this & then immediately blocked me again, as a coward would do. It’s funny because I guess I live rent-free in his head. But it’s also absurd & reckless at this time of political violence.

Thanks for sharing this! A great story! And it happened in Idaho!
