"U.S. officials called London insurers and brokers, trying to figure out how the market operates, industry insiders said."
When applied to the current administration, I urge caution in using terms like "plans," "strategy," "policy," or "doctrine."

I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.
HUGE.

Oh... it's a RECESSION recession
Another Supreme Court term, another year of dubious originalist history.
Want to learn how to spot it? And better yet, how to counter it?

Trump’s Immigration Approval Craters as Americans Blame Republicans For DHS Shutdown migrantinsider.com/p/trumps-imm...
There’s always a lot of handwringing regarding alleged violence by unhoused folks - and rarely an honest conversation about what they’re subjected to on a daily basis.
Spotted graffiti in Downtown LA, on the wall of the still open, still very active ICE jail:
WE WILL FIGHT RACISM WITH SOLIDARITY
Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could “bomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.
Not to suggest that this year sucks or anything, but we're averaging one person killed riding a bicycle in Southern California less than every four days.
Just out @propublica.org: How did the Pentagon make the horrible mistake that left more than 150 school children dead? Perhaps because it cancelled an effort to limit such harm in favor of Hegseth’s lust for “lethality.”

"The advice signals a recalibration by the White House — and reflects growing concern among some Republicans that Democrats are successfully framing Trump's immigration policy as overly sweeping and indiscriminate."
A little late to distance themselves from President Miller. Damage is done.
In a time when community is most needed, supporters showed up with a level of commitment L.A. could use more of these days.

NEW: Even the strongest anti-abortion advocates don't want to punish people for pregnancy loss. Police and prosecutors are finding ways to do it anyway.
Here's what happens when miscarriage is recast as murder:
Politicians/residents say they want a vibrant city with 3rd spaces, but then work to turn our civic properties into hellscapes.
I live by a beautiful, new-ish metro stop in Little Tokyo with a ton of space around it - all cement, all sans shade.
We could have tables + trees. We know why we don't.
It’s been one year since Trump & ICE reopened Dilley - the Texas immigrant prison that jails children & families in heinous conditions.
Children should be free, with adults that care for them.
This is completely reprehensible
Crazy that LA City Hall is a whole block away from the immigration courthouse + terror basement in DTLA but we aren’t drowning in pictures of local electeds like this.
Meet Kalil. Today, he had a hearing in Immigration Court at 290 Broadway. Thanks to his excellent lawyers Ellie & Beth from The Door, and his guardian, he’s got a strong application for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status — and hopefully a pathway to a green card. 🤞🏼 (1/2)
While this administration targets children, we’re in the courts defending them. We won't let the Flores Settlement & the safety of children be dismantled without a fight.
Our legal defense is just 1 piece of the fight. The goals are clear: dismantle the cages, free our communities, & abolish ICE.
BREAKING: Two more people have died in ICE detention, per required notification to Congress.
🚨A federal court ordered an immediate end to the inhumane conditions in the Baltimore Holding Rooms and certified a class—meaning this protection covers everyone held at that facility, now and in the future.

“In a statement on Saturday, Ms. De La Cruz said the family’s detention ‘breaks my heart.’”
But she voted for the bill that made ICE the highest-funded “law enforcement” agency in our nation.

This woman has been in America for over 5 decades.
She came to the US as a toddler after being adopted by a US Air Force officer.
The regime wants to deport her to Iran.
A country they’re intent on destroying.
They want to send her to her death.
"Democrats should be taking heed of frontline organizers and activists who have long contested the everyday and extraordinary violence of immigration enforcement. … [T]here is no stopping the violence of ICE without a radical transformation of the U.S. approach to immigration."
“Tehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside."
Read every word.
holy shit
