So this IL Hospital Association memo describes an incident where ICE detained a US citizen, gave them HEART PROBLEMS, took them to a hospital where the fought with medical personnel, then left when they realized they detained a CITIZEN.

"You see, Charlie looked at politics as an on-ramp to Jesus. He knew if he'd get all of you rowing in the streams of liberty, you'd come to its source, and that's the Lord."

--Rob McCoy, Kirk's pastor

Sooo... what exactly does that mean? If we follow Kirk's politics we'll become Christians?

So many 2848s are being returned for missing signatures when they are signed, or missing SSNs when it's clearly on the form.
Last week, IRS sent a notice that my 8821 was rejected (I didn't send a 8821).
And IRS assigned a new CAF for no reason.
Anyone else seeing craziness in the CAF unit?

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

Audit: 36 police-custody deaths should have been ruled a homicide The yearslong audit cited racial and pro-police bias in the work of the state’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

Been waiting for these results.

That’s 36 in a single city. Extrapolating out to the rest of the country is . . . overwhelming.

The thrust of Justice Sotomayor's questions and observations are that under DOJ's theory, not even SCOTUS would be able to issue a nationwide injunction, meaning individuals would have to all file individual cases to enforce SCOTUS precedents.

The Trump administration's policy on designating people as "enemy aliens" was was that it could expel them without any recourse to the courts.

DOJ said that people detained under the act are "not entitled to ... judicial review of the removal order in any court of the United States."

So, the gov't's request for an extension of time in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case got bounced bc it was filed by someone not admitted. (This is the one where they sidelined the attorney who appeared at the prior hearing.)

The 9:30am declaration remains overdue.

His critics say he's one of the most openly bad-faith operators in national politics today, a charlatan who launders lies and reactionary propaganda through credulous media.

I turned on my recorder and sat down with him to find out more.

Even if you think Paul Weiss and Columbia made the only choice available to them in the circumstances (and that's not what I think, to be clear), you have to recognize that there's no future for our democracy if every powerful institution approaches official extortion in this way.

We are very close to a near cure for two of the highest-mortality cancers we know: glioblastoma and pancreatic cancer. These are both mRNA based treatments which are losing their funding during stage I and II trials. Thousands will die needlessly because of this motherfucker and his lies.
