Note: "Deportation Judges," not immigration judges. No need to apply if you don't get the agenda.

Wurman is being pretty slippery with his definition of "purpose." There was extensive discussion about the impact of the Amendment on Chinese immigrants and "Gypsies," so they knew it would have a broader impact than just on children of freed people, and agreed on the interpretation of the words.

Bay Staters, do yourself a favor: Don’t back an income tax cut - The Boston Globe We are already in a desperate situation in health care and many other fields. Let’s not make it even worse.

"The ballot question proposing to lower the tax rate would cut more than $5B in annual revenue to the state. Where would that money come from? We are already in a desperate situation in health care and many other fields. Let’s not make it even worse."

I was thinking about the amazing undergrad science being done at Winona. They have a dinosaur in a rock maybe still with skin! A public branch university creating opportunities for students.

Was asked last week if there was any way that Congress could render the killing spree at sea lawful (setting morality & rationality aside).

Would an AUMF do the trick?

Nope.

You’d also need to repeal several federal criminal laws dealing with murder.

And that’s just as a matter of domestic law.

This is all because of the Supreme Court

β€œthe streets were no longer safe for people who looked like him..[agents] tackled the teenager to the pavement and shouted a question: β€˜Where were you born’”

β€œβ€˜I thought the president was supposed to protect us, but he only made things worse for Hispanics’”

There’s so much drama on the right it’s like Ryan Murphy’s idea file.

Chicago Promoted Two Police Officers After Investigators Found They Engaged in Sexual Misconduct The Chicago Police Department’s promotions system allows officers’ disciplinary records to be ignored. Despite years of reform efforts, nothing has changed.

One officer was accused of spreading a nude photo of a woman he knew.

Another was found responsible for acts of domestic violence and sexual assault.

In spite of their disciplinary records, the Chicago Police Department promoted both of them.

Any Dem trifecta that does not abolish DHS and radically replace ICE/CBP is failing at its job.

Any Dem POTUS lacking a trifecta who does not use his own oversight powers to radically change ICE/CBP and investigate any not preemptively pardoned is also failing at their job.

OMFG.

A post-C section mother who was an asylum seeker seeking a visa for crime victims who had a newborn baby struggling in the NICU was held in Broadview in Chicago w no medical attention (POST C SECTION), no breast pump (right after birth), and no treatment for her diabetes.

MONSTERS.

Great movie! I know I've watched it at least twice before, but had forgotten a lot so it was still an intense watch.
Thanks to all for the comments. After all these years I still have trouble watching and reading much less commenting myself. Y'all are wizards.

My dad piloted his own plane - no helicopter training, but he loved them. Talked the helicopter guy at a small rural airport he used to come out and fly us all around our ranch.

If I get the timeline correct, Greer joined in 1943, served in the Pacific, then went to the Naval Academy likely as one of its first African American graduates, then served again in the Cold War

The real first such graduate was Wesley A. Brown '49 - he was a classmate of Jimmy Carter. #hatm

Oh poor Moira. Well, it is a thriller.

Gee, spot the big U.S. embassy convoy in Colombia. I dare you. That said, this is an exciting and tense scene. It's used in training for the Secret Service. #hatm
