Another recent change was Trump pushing for the filibuster to be removed. The establishment could just claim it was because they need it to stop him so they should never stop him enough that he would make Republicans do it, but it could also be seen as a freedom they don’t want to have should we get a Democratic trifecta in the future. Being able to say “I want to do good things, but shucks the system stopped me” is a valuable tool for elected officials.
Immigration enforcement comes AFTER someone has been convicted of a crime. ICE cannot investigate whether a crime has occurred.
Threatening to call the gestapo on anyone is a shit stain act, regardless of whether you’re legitimately angry at their actions. Don’t be a shit stain.
They really aren’t. That’s just something that racist shit stains jump to.
If someone is doing (what you think are) illegal things to you, regardless of their citizenship, you call the police, the organization that deals with enforcing the law.
“When Congress voted” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
No, it really isn’t. That’s a press release. Or the Truth post Trump made.
News filters for worthy events, explains mechanics, and adds other context to help its readers understand why this thing is worth knowing and what it might mean.
So it’s the caviest of caves, without even giving the Democrats anything. Are they worried that they were winning too much?
Addressing Zhou’s allegations that Renner threatened to call ICE on her, Singer alleges Zhou “had been relentlessly harassing and threatening my client with hundreds of unsolicited and unwanted messages.”
In response to an allegation, something that doesn’t respond to the allegation at all. At least unless “she deserved it” is supposed to be a response to threatening to call ICE on a foreign born person.
Teen Vogue. Which is being shut down, presumably because it did good work.
I’ll add that to my $5,000 DOGE dividend. Why do news outlets report what he says when he’s obviously lying?
Seems like he was fired for the Islamophobic nature of the comments, not being hyperbolically opposed to Mandami. Or maybe more realistically he was fired for publicly talking back to his boss, regardless of content.
Rules can’t criminalize anything. The thing they’re thinking of is “laws”. Which haven’t changed.
This is not to say they won’t arrest people. It’ll just either be for a law that already existed that we were just assuming they wouldn’t abuse, or it will be an illegal arrest to hopefully be quickly booted from court by a judge.
Expiration of the credits is at the end of the calendar year. It hasn’t happened yet.
Closer in an absolute sense, but not in a Price is Right sense. One year brings the subsidies to after the next election, when there’s no active pressure to apply. I don’t know why the Republicans didn’t jump on it immediately, this is a giant gift to them.
A one year extension is after the midterms.
No, I mean he could raise way more than his defense will cost. He’s kind of one of the mythic figures of the resistance.
When the early revolution is recorded to history, we’ll remember such luminaries as the Portland Frog, Polka Dot Lady, and Sandwich Guy.
If he hasn’t crowd funded his legal expenses it’s because he’s actively choosing not to. He could be grifting this so hard.
I keep worrying that he’s going to use authoritarianism and a violation of the rule of law to do good things and people will normalize those things as ok, but he seems devoted to never helping anyone who isn’t rich or armed.
I think it would take some exceptional political gymnastics for Hochul to have personally campaigned with him and then justify how his election must be annulled. She’ll just refuse all his plans that need state approval. The state has a lot of power to just try to make him fail in order to teach the people that only neoliberals can be trusted to lead.
Direct Federal fuckery is more likely.
I hope they consider reforming independently. Value comes from the workers and they were valuable. I’d definitely contribute/pay for them.
Using “undercover” as if he’s concealing his employer in order to take on the mob rather than attendants at a carwash.
