No. The founding fathers were very clear that cops get paid even if other government employees don’t. Just like how all unions are satanic Marxist gangs except for cop unions.

How do you write a headline like this for a piece that says the exact opposite? #wallstreetjournal #governmentshutdown

In Vance’s view, if a white person has enjoyed success, it was due to their own hard work and was achieved *despite* this nation’s contemptible and meddling government. If a non-white person enjoys success, they owe it all to the nation and its government and must be subservient and grateful.

Some billionaire giving a press conference about getting Eric Adams to jump back in the New York City mayoral race. He is speaking at some restaurant or bar and is wearing an insane amount of costume jewelry.

OMG this William G. Young opinion that just dropped (12:30pm) in AAUP v. Rubio.
It begins with a postcard sent to Chambers and Young's reply

card: "Trump has pardons and tanks, what do you have?"

There’s a lot of chatter about how these generals and admirals must have been appalled and horrified by the Hegseth/Trump fascism rally, but let’s not give them too much credit just yet. As of now, they’ve done nothing to suggest that they will serve as guardrails, or that they’ll even try.

Yeah, coal mining has never been a big thing in NC, BUT NC did have a ton of gold mines, and you know how Trump feels about gold! Maybe he’ll sign an EO to get those up and running again….
