You don't have to listen to these professional liars who are barely trying. 9 months ago they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty
Vance pushes back and says this was not illegal, arguing "Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."

Plenary authority extends all the way to the oil fields of another country or the place where their leader resides, whichever comes first.

Damn, did y’all hear that Epstein’s best friend started an illegal war with Venezuela last night?

I still firmly believe that anyone who was involved in family separation from the first administration should be shamed from public life.

The politicos on the Sunday morning shows are not good at arguing, their analysis is shallow, and it’s time for new people.

It’s as simple as planes arrive on time, and they don’t crash into each other. That’s it.
Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

So does Black Friday include rent, or?

I think Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral victory is actually a ruse. It was actually a marketing campaign to further his rap career

Now he is in too deep

I feel like retail companies are really over supplied right now and that’s why they are offering so many deals right now.

Because this doesn’t seem like the regular Black Friday discount

In Rhode Island, ICE arrested an intern who worked for a court, and then a judge intervened to say they had the wrong person.

All leading to a scene where ICE agents surrounded the judge's car and "threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply." www.wfla.com/news/judge-i...

This dissent, from a legal perspective, is unhinged.
Judge Smith, the Reagan appointee who dissented in the Texas redistricting case, just filed a 104-page dissent that starts as follows. drive.google.com/file/d/1Ecy6...

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Yes. Very casually turning the SSFA into a determination that any statute addressing race discrimination must be time-bound. Just absolutely untrue. An utter usurpation of Congress’ enforcement power under the 14th & 15th Amendments.
Justice Kavanaugh in the Callais oral argument keeps alluding to some longstanding requirement of strict scrutiny that use of race have a time limit. This is invented.

We need to talk about how social media algorithms push moms down a slippery slope of distrust.

From "Are my kids getting enough support in school?" To "Maybe I should homeschool." To "Maybe modern medicine is bad."

I've seen this first-hand in research I'm doing on parenting apps. 1/🧵

Is there any reason the SCOTUS advocate just directed his comments to Justice Alito when he was being questioned by Justice Sotomayor??

As immigration agents have escalated their tactics, US citizens, many of them Latino men, have been stopped and in some cases taken into custody by law enforcement officers. Allison, Jenny and I took a closer look at the encounters. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/u...
