Judge OKs DOGE access to Treasury payment systems Staffers with the group have been properly vetted and trained, Judge Jeannette Vargas ruled, allowing a handful of DOGE staffers to access Americans’ financial data.

Scariest part? Musk's DOGE kids are mucking around with the Bureau of Fiscal Services, which is kind of like the federal government's checkbook.

Trump announced Alcatraz reopening hours after β€˜Escape from Alcatraz’ aired on PBS The 1979 film starring Clint Eastwood about the daring 1962 escape attempt aired on the local PBS channel just six hours before the president made his demand that the prison be reopened

He saw Escape From Alcatraz on TV and was inspired. Seriously.

β€œI really thought things would change after this administration, when we have Mr. Trump in office, things would change to the better. Things actually changed to the worse,” Atallah said.

In Heat, he holds his own as a superb supporting player in a cast that has some of the best film actors of its time, including those who weren't as well-known at the time but nevertheless highly talented actors. (Tom Sizemore, Dennis Haysbert, Natalie Portman, just to name a few.)

I'm glad I traded my NY votes for Oregon votes. I don't have to hold my nose when I submit my ballot. Jeff Merkeley and Ron Wyden do a much better job of representing me than Schumer and Gillebrand.

For example, for filling a writ of habeas corpus, and other similar actions that a lawyer might take during an immigration proceeding.
