Ha, I've done that when I'm extremely anxious.

Things like billing and prior authorizations take an enormous proportion of resources.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

The fact they chose California as the flash point is also an indicator that they don't think these things through

LA has like 4M+ people. Sending every single ICE officer is ~20K, LAPD is 9K, LASD is 10K. Going in at 100:1 manpower – leaving zero bodies for literally anything else – is foolish

Glad to see Mr. Fitz will be back on the Katmai cams this year!
5 days before we get to watch for our beloved Brooks Falls Bears! I was worried with all the funding cuts and firing that we wouldn't have it this year.

I had a man complain to me that more women and people of color are being admitted to med school. I have no clue why he thought I would be sympathetic since I have a PhD. His son is a doctor though.

Just a guess here but China probably has a lot of other countries they can work with.

A super useful thread on what to do now that the GOP has a framework for reconciliation.

The only way Donald Trump is going to get people to flock to the streets cheering for him is to start the parade in this:

Trump Is Showing Why Dictatorships Fail The authors of the Constitution separated powers for a reason.

In any authoritarian regime, there are people who make a livelihood by rationalizing the actions of the leadership, making them palatable to a general audience by offering analogies with reasonable theoretical statements. Their profesisonal title is usually something like "chief propagandist"

Pam Bondi’s brother is running for DC Bar president. Ed Martin’s deputy is running for DC Bar treasurer.

If like me you’re a DC lawyer who doesn’t usually vote in DC bar elections: time to start

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

In hindsight I think this might be a typo and supposed to be the MAR group - Marco Rubio. But maybe not since this is already some crazy stuff.
