The prestige of the Post's books coverage can't be overstated and they're just throwing it away.

Look at me reposting the Cato Institute. Immigrants get the jobs done.
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Kennedy Center will close for 2 years for renovations starting in July, Trump says, after a backlash from performers.

Epstein just seems so *gross*. Sloppy, careless, not smart enough to know that he wasn't actually that smart. This is the biggest lie fiction tells us: that evil is charming. Most of the time, it's not.

ICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glass—from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: “We’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.”
And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.

A shot of hope. Chicago, you rule.
It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"
