“If we’re going to say it’s OK to kill so-called terrorists in the Caribbean, for actions that have traditionally been dealt with as a criminal matter, using due process — what’s to say you can’t do the same in an American city?” asked @scanlon.house.gov

Trump Calls His Enemies Terrorists. Does That Mean He Can Just Kill Them?

A good thing happened today: Haitians in Springfield, Ohio and elsewhere are (for now) safe from the planned ethnic cleansing operation. This happened because people came together — organizers, reporters, and those who care — and made it happen. Let’s take the win and continue the work.

This doesn’t look good
This is bad!
Wholesale prices just spiked way above expectations. PPI up 0.5% in one month, core PPI up 0.7% when experts expected 0.3%.
Translation: costs that hit companies are climbing fast, and they do not magically disappear. They get passed straight to you and me.

How many other cases have gone under the radar through our judicial system?
A federal judge has temporarily blocked the deportation of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father.
In his order, Judge Fred Biery told the federal government that it could not move the boy or his father out of his court's jurisdiction while they challenged their detention.
