Zero arrests by NYPD is actually astounding to me
A preview of Trump’s proposed canonization icon shows him wearing the sleep apnea apparatus that is intended to blunt the effects of his congestive heart failure. A bold choice.
I gave this a like for its excellent reproduction of a socialist realist aesthetic. Spasiba, comrades!

The “I’m not sure what you’re doing here” comment was directed at Michael Froman, the president of CFR, which was literally hosting the event
Q: In 2018, Trump imposed 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum. Two years later, there were 1,000 more steel workers and 75,000 fewer manufacturing workers in the sectors dependent on steel

Q: That's a Ball State study

vance to his kids: “it is okay to tell your friends you love hitler as long as you don’t get caught”
It's telling that Vance's first instinct following the Politico leak was to tell his sons to be wary of what they write in group chats--to assume “some scumbag is going to leak it in an effort to try to cause you harm.”

His message here is basically--be racist; just don't get caught.

Jeanine Pirro’s office tried three times to indict a woman on bogus felony charges of assaulting an ICE agent. A DC grand jury turned her down each time. So Pirro brought a misdemeanor charge instead. And now a trial jury has acquitted her of that. www.huffpost.com/entry/sidney...

Prosecutor Jeanine Pirro failed to secure a felony indictment against the woman three times, then lost a jury trial on a misdemeanor charge. Ouch.

When the Nazi group chat ruins your talking points
My favorite part is when one guy gives an unreserved apology and immediately follows up by suggesting that the texts might be fake. But also the product of extortion.

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.
After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.
