So fired on Friday, hired back by Monday? So much for a presumption of stability rationalizing lower salaries.

All Seattle burger joints now call a plate of sliders their Detroit Special.

We had a similar experience when my son moved to London to do a graduate degree. He needed a residential address to open a bank account and needed a UK bank to wire a deposit for an apartment. Neither cash nor debit nor credit card payments accepted.

The GSA rate for Orlando in July is $140. It looks like the standard room rates range from $500s-$1500, so pretty doubtful a government rate would bring it down that far, if available at all.

Thank you for all you do, and your consistent support for ethical positions and practices both professionally and personally. I have supported you directly for years and never regretted a penny.

Holy crap. Trump will make the FCC crucify Jimmy Kimmel for this.

If this was a declared foreign war, treating POWs this way, filming them for propaganda purposes, would be a war crime.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

I received texts from her within hours of Kirk’s death. Blocked her immediately. I’ve never voted R for anything, and have worked on D campaigns for decades. She must have just used the widest net text list available. The grift must go on

The discovery of the drawing Tr*mp said didn’t exist—and sued the WSJ over—isn’t surprising. He is the same person we have know him to be for decades, with numerous accusations of sexual assault, walking in on Miss Teen USA participants, etc. This is what people voted for.

This formulation is popular: contrasting SCOTUS' intolerance of race as an admissions factor with SCOTUS' tolerance of race as a detention factor. There are, in fact, doctrinal, historical, and logical distinctions between the positions, that one could use to dismiss this comparison.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

Frankly, I have seen enough.

Secretary Kennedy should be fired immediately.

He's destroying the agency responsible for keeping diseases (like measles and Ebola) under control. This is deadly serious.
