Rep. Grijalva says she was pepper-sprayed by ICE

feel like the soccer + college football + some nba is what makes Peacock more interesting. Maybe we're just mildly old heads who like sports.

Why are they doubling Bron? In the box score he looked like he wasn't shooting well.

lol he was so close

Duolingo is not giving me my end of year review. Sigh. I don't want to update the app where it'll change the heart system to energy.

How to actually feed America Good intentions matter, but good systems turn generosity into abundance.

what does it cost to dig underground though? i thought the whole thing about subway construction was that dig and cover was the cheapest because boring is time intensive.

Northwestern Agrees to a Deal With Trump Administration

We must keep calling out those that cave to the Trump Admin, and the latest is Northwestern.

As part of their "deal," NU will pay $75 million, stop vital research, renege on agreements with its students over the war in Gaza, and more.

Throwing your students under the bus to please Trump. Shameful.

A basic and intuitive understanding of the law is that punishments should not be retroactive upon a policy change.

This is even worse. There is no formal policy change, they are simply penalizing couples for following common practice - explicitly allowed by Congress - for decades.

Mark Kelly: "We have a president who doesn't understand the Constitution, who installed an unqualified secretary of defense. I cannot think of a secretary of defense in the history of our country that is less qualified than Pete Hegseth. He should've been fired after Signal-gate."

Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation…

Trump calls Tim Walz “seriously retarded”

Trump EPA to abandon air pollution rule that would prevent thousands of U.S. deaths The Environmental Protection Agency will no longer defend Biden-era limits on fine-particle pollution, which causes heart and lung disease.

ICE Sent 600 Immigrant Kids to Detention in Federal Shelters This Year. It’s a New Record. Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border. New data suggests separations are happening all over the count...

NEW: Since the start of this year, more than 600 immigrant children have been placed in government shelters by ICE.

That number, which has not been previously reported, is the highest since recordkeeping began a decade ago.

Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

blue sky, where people think just not taking vacations is in poverty. wth. 136k is a good amount.

Thanks for everything, DOGE. 🤡

@birdyword.bsky.social

they started charging for checked bags bc I wore athleisure on the plane? is that what harvard business school taught these execs? spite their dress with fees?

CNBC: My understanding is the White House said that China was gonna buy 12 million tons of soybeans from the US by January. That's approaching and they've only purchased 332,000. China has not confirmed that pledge.

BROOKE ROLLINS: Your point is salient. We've got a significant way to go

Do you think they bought those only to be just in how they charge for scratches to rental cars?

High school senior, a U.S. citizen, detained by ICE in Oregon The 17-year-old was held more than five hours Friday in an ICE facility, his brother said.

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.”

Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?

MAMDANI: I've spoken about--

TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

Trump frickin' loves this guy lmao

Houlahan points out that courts have found Trump has taken at least 150 unlawful actions since re-taking office, "so yes, those kinds of things are going on. Just because you are the president doesn't mean everything that comes out of your mouth is lawful."

It hasn't been a great year for jobs.

TEN MONTHS IN:

The national debt is higher.

The trade deficit is wider.

The inflation rate has worsened.

The unemployment rate is up.
