Videos verified by The New York Times show Alex Jeffrey Pretti, the man federal agents shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday, was holding a phone, not a gun, when the agents took him to the ground and shot him. In total, at least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds.

This is absolutely not how it works, but it could be how it works to some degree if we did universal basic income and indexed it to a percentage of GDP per capita, say 25%, so that as GDP grew, the UBI grew too.

One of my favorite riffs from βI Accuseβ is Joel asking when the movie became an episode of βInsight.β It moralizes to all hell, but the makers knew what they wanted to make and they made it well. Still a top 5 episode of MST3K, but maybe partly because the movie isnβt TERRIBLE terrible.

New order from Judge Xinis regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia:
β‘οΈGovernment must take all available steps to facilitate his return ASAP.
β‘οΈGov't must file, by Fri 9:30am, declaration confirming Garcia's current location and what steps have been and will be taken to return him.
β‘οΈStatus conference Fri 1pm.
The application is granted in part and denied in part, subject to the direction of this order. Due to the administrative stay issued by THE CHIEF JUSTICE, the deadline imposed by the District Court has now passed. To that extent, the Government's emergency application is effectively granted in part and the deadline in the challenged order is no longer effective. The rest of the District Court's order remains in effect but requires clarification on remand. The order properly requires the Government to "facilitate" Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador. The intended scope of the term "effectuate" in the District Court's order is, however, unclear, and may exceed the District Court's authority. The District Court should clarify its directive, with due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs. For its part, the Government should be prepared to share what it can concerning the steps it has taken and the prospect of further steps. The order heretofore entered by THE CHIEF JUSTICE is vacated.
BREAKING: Supreme Court upholds district court order that the Trump administration "facilitate" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was improperly sent to El Salvador.

What concrete steps could Dems take to improve their stance on immigration, that they didnβt take when Trump killed the bipartisan bill? Immigration has hurt Dems mostly because fear mongers can create horror stories about βothersβ more easily than they can about domestic issues.
