To be clear, this is almost certainly a violation of federal law, specifically the Antideficiency Act, which prohibits the executive from authorizing an expenditure that has not be appropriated by Congress.

"Tylenol causes kids to have autism and we don't want to teach them" is certainly a hell of a platform.

Hat, they made a woman who murdered her dog the head of all this.

If a Democratic President was married to an immigrant from a former Chinese satellite state who said she had an open channel of communication with Xi, Republicans would be crying Manchurian candidate while burning down the fucking White House with them inside.

I mean look at this eyesore:

And look, to be fair, the rotary on the other side of the memorial bridge is ugly and barren. Putting something in the middle of it is far from the worst idea Trump has ever had.

This is the language on the Fannie Mae rider. If James committed bank fraud, so does literally everyone who buys a second house to AirBnB some of the time.

And the terms explicitly allow short term rentals immediately, and long term rentals after 1 year.

This is the language on a Fannie Mae second home rider. If Letitia James committed bank fraud, so does literally every person who buys a second house to use it as an AirBnB.

The problem is, the terms EXPLICITLY allow for short term rentals immediately, and long term rental after 1 year.

James bought the house in 2020. If DOJ can prove she rented it immediately, they may have a case, if she didn't seek permission from the lender.

But nowhere in the indictment is it evidenced she rented it in the first year. It just says she rented it out.

This is the language on a Fannie Mae second home rider:

It says that the borrower will maintain exclusive control over occupancy of the property, including for rentals. It explicitly allows rentals after one year of ownership.

This is just the sloppiest shit imaginable.

The second home rider prohibits her from offering a stake in the property or entering into a contract where someone else has control over whether it is rented.

It does not prohibit her from choosing to rent it herself.

"The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand."

Need to update to Antifa General Counsel Hat

Just a reminder that Pete Hegseth wants these people out of Service because they're overweight.

I appreciate Pritzker's truth telling here, but at some point, a Governor just has to say "no, you will not federalize my national guard."

Federalization of the guard requires a President to declare a National Emergency exists. Force Trump to defend the declaration of emergency by refusing.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commissions that come out of all this are going to be full of stories like this. The problem will be identifying and properly punishing the ICE agents responsible for these assaults.

Oh look, just another Kavanaugh stop where they were free to go after a brief encounter with police.

So, commissaries are an essential part of the DoD because they provide subsidized groceries to U.S. Service Members regardless of the local cost of living. This is particularly important for non-commissioned officers, whose salaries often struggle to keep up with cost of living increases.

The clear, correct answer here is "No, that would be illegal under the Emergency Medical Treatment And Labor Act (EMTALA), which forbids ER departments from refusing life saving medical care based on nationality, immigration status, or ability to pay."

These LARPers think they're fucking Theoden summoning the Rohirrim to ride to Gondor.

If it wasn't terrifying, it would be just incredibly embarrassing and sad.

These LARPers think they're fucking Theoden summoning the Rohirrim to ride to Gondor.

The fact that the Vice President of the United States goes into the White House press briefing room and confidently states things that run afoul of federal law is a national embarrassment.

Oh, and refusing to treat a patient based on nationality would also run afoul of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, which REQUIRES emergency departments to provide emergency care to anyone needing treatment, regardless of citizenship, legal status, or ability to pay.

1. This is just pure blood and soil nationalism.

2. Doctors are required, by oath, to put the patient before all other concerns, like nationality. A doctor who said he or she would only treat Americans would probably get their licenses revoked.

man @nytpitchbot.bsky.social isnt even this good

When she says "Soros," she means Jewish.

Owned by two Popes and a House minority leader.

Seems like antifa is recruiting in my DC neighborhood
