How exactly do these people think you can notice a stranger's immigration status just by looking at them?

Stalin famously demanded long standing ovations from his audience, with the threat that the first one to stop clapping would be sent to a gulag. But I'm sure that could never happen here.

Precious: based on the novel Push by Tom Clancy

I long for the good old days, when Republicans at least pretended to care about democracy instead of openly stating they are redrawing maps for the purpose of partisan gain.

Typical property taxes there are around $600/mo at the high end, way cheaper than rent. What manner of professionals are they?

Can we identify some successes at doing this? Even in cases where there's political will, such as Nay Pyi Taw (the new capital of Myanmar), they built the city but little economic activity followed. There's just no reason a business would want to be there.

Looks nice, but I'm holding out for the Orca Platinum, which includes elite boarding status.

Let's never forget there was an SRO at Uvalde.

The editorial closes with "and if the presence of an officer saves even one kid, it’s worth the risk."

I can't top that.

I had a dream in which Pope Leo visits the United States and ICE agents break the windows of the Popemobile and transport His Holiness to Mecca or Moscow or Tibet. It will be labeled (at first) as "an administrative error."

Look, for over a year, one brave Cassandra was warning you that massive tariffs were coming and that they’d wreak havoc on the economy. But no one listened to Donald Trump.

I did bicycle along the waterfront many times (my commute) while the viaduct stood. Biggest danger was when a cruise ship was docked: taxis and Ubers, private cars, and pedestrians with luggage all moving about randomly and without looking.

Remember when Edmonds (or rather a few people from there) wanted to exempt from upzoning anyplace that's in a watershed? I mean, isn't literally all land on Earth in a watershed?

Let's meet in Munich to appease the aggressor, that always goes well.

Let's hope this provides the demand needed for better business service there.

or how many of them became disabled in the first place by cars.
