Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

It comes down to bandwidth. I see the need for change, but getting people into govt who can take on billionaires will require common cause with folks not on the left who’ll be easily peeled off if they think we’re going to take away their burgers. And you know that’s how it will get played.

So we’re selling F35s to the Saudis. I s’pose the transfer of tech like this comes with some sort of training. I wonder if that will include how to land the plane…

Viktor OrbΓ‘n’s crackdown on free press does not only affect Hungary. It affects all of Europe The so-called β€œTransparency Law”, currently pending approval, significantly undermines freedom of expression in Hungary β€” and its impacts are unlikely stop at the country’s borders.

The Hungarian government is about to pass a law that will allow it to destroy the tiny online outlets that represent the last vestiges of independent Hungarian press

Andrew Sullivan on Substack Reading JD Vance’s interview with Ross, I’m struck by a couple of things. Vance denies he is over-reaching on immigration because he has no interest in what lefties who backed unlimited mass migration...

He likes tariffs because he can impose or remove them unilaterally, making them perfect for extracting payoffs from countries, corporations, or anybody willing to pay the grift to be either exempted, or have them placed on competitors. I’m astonished that this isn't pointed out more often.

I’m not a Brit, but I think you should certainly have on any MP, regardless of party, willing to debate in good faith. If they start stonewalling or mouthing party line BS, then end the interview. BTW, this is how you will become a better interviewer.

Generally agree with George here, with this clarification.

The economy is at risk *because our freedoms and the rule of law are at risk.

MUST-WATCH: This is the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil from the perspective of his wife, who is 8 months pregnant.

This is federal agents in plain clothes dragging a man from his home as punishment for his speech.
