Bondi should be impeached based solely on her conduct today. Talking money when the topic is Epstein victims should earn her contempt of Congress and disbarment as well. She is a disgrace to the legal profession.

It’s interesting how we used to negotiate free trade agreements and now they’re just trade agreements. They are dropping the “free” from in front of lots of things these days: trade, speech, press, market, country.

F.D.A. Refuses to Review Moderna Flu Vaccine

They told me that if I voted for a Democrat for president, we'd end up with a government that was wildly, irrationally, dangerously anti-business—and they were right!

FDA won’t review Moderna application for first mRNA-based flu vaccine The decision, which shocked company officials, comes as the FDA says it will take a stricter approach to federal vaccine approvals.

So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist.

Cool.

Federal employee who did background checks for ICE arrested in Bloomington sex sting A federal employee who police say conducted background checks for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other government agencies was arrested last week in a Bloomington prostitution sting.

Police in Bloomington, MN announce that that they broke up an underage sex-trafficking ring which was being run by a DHS agent who works as a background checker for newly recruited ICE agents. DHS had given him a high security clearance kstp.com/kstp-news/lo...

And it’s all because of Donald Trump. The reason why there is zero accountability in America for anyone who was pals with Epstein is because Epstein’s best pal is in the White House. That’s why.

BONUS RULING: Judge Thomas Johnston, a George W. Bush appoiintee in West Virginia, used a recent ruling to warn of the dangers of defying due process for immigrants because of what it could also mean for Americans. It's worth a read.

It’s true that’s what people like Vance want, but they have no serious policy proposal for how to achieve that. Declining birth rates is a global trend. Japan & South Korea have thrown way more resources at encouraging more babies than the USA realistically ever will and they’ve still come up empty.

The MAGA view of immigrants and the economy (“They’re stealing ‘our’ services & benefits!”) is not just selfish; it’s entirely economically ignorant and out of step with reality. It assumes each person’s share of 🇺🇸 wealth decreases w/ more people but ignores that we create more wealth together.

One obvious questions about mass deportation even purely self interested MAGA types should understand has always been:

Given declining birth rates among all industrialized nations, if we have net negative immigration, how is 🇺🇸 economy supposed to continue growing with fewer workers and consumers?

We're now seeing why every statement made by Todd Blanche about the Epstein files must be presumed to be a conscious lie until proven otherwise.

Elderly Americans depend heavily on care work, and our entire care work sector depends heavily on the skills and labor of immigrants.

When elderly Americans cannot get proper care, they are at risk of harm and even death. Regardless of their preferences about politicians or immigration policy.

The president is monetizing the presidency & it is basically just background noise at this point

We have concentration camps & it is basically just background noise at this point

We are threatening the sovereignty of our NATO allies & it is basically just background noise at this point

Hard to overstate how big a loss Rumeysa Ozturk’s case is for the Trump admin. Immigration court is an extension of the executive. It’s very hard for them to lose there.

Here she is being arrested by men in plainclothes. Over an op-ed. Still disturbs me.

The high wouldn’t last. Seahawks safety Julian Love soon intercepted a throw from New England quarterback Drake Maye, and the Patriots never recovered. In the end, Kane lost a bit less than $100,000 in bets that favored the Patriots.

“What are you gonna do about it? You get very numb to these kinds of numbers,” said Kane, who works out of his one-bedroom apartment in Philadelphia.

In the future we're gonna look back at online gambling and prediction markets in the same way we look now at cigarettes on airplanes and lead-based paint

Rage and grievance are the fuel of populist movements. They have nothing without it, and the architects of the movement know this.

This why they’ll use any reason or no reason to keep the rage going as long as they can. And why joy and love are existential threats to them.
