Seriously, watch this. Descriptions won’t do it justice. There’s no technical difficulty.

The amazing pause here from Miller is him realizing he said the quiet part out loud (probably a few months early) and then freezing like a possum in the face of a coyote or something as a defensive measure.

Not Stephen Miller accidentally outting the regime in an interview. Let that "plenary authority" claim slip right out and then had to act like the audio cut out.

Sir! We heard you.. and the President does NOT have plenary authority.

The cities are exclusively for weak effeminate homosexuals but also too dangerous for strong manly heterosexuals.

You can imagine the stress this family was already under in the current environment, especially if they needed to have any contact with immigration court.

So…the administration’s Big Plan is to use tariff money (paid by American consumers) to bail out the farmers whose market crashed due to those same tariffs.

Sora is not the real problem here. The real problem is that in 12, at most 24 months, there will be a Sora clone from Tencent or Alibaba that is just as good and can be run by anybody with a 5099, at which point everyone in society needs to rapidly agree to treat all digital video as fake, period.

The problem (at least in IL) is not that we have a feckless governor or mayor unwilling "to stand up to Trump." The problem is that over 80 years+ we the people have ceded vast powers to the Fed govt for good and necessary reasons and then, last November, we gave all those powers to Donald Trump.

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

/end Basically, US immigration law accreted over decades and is totally incoherent, counterproductive, and in dire need of total rewriting, except that's utterly impossible politically.

The New York Times doesn't tell you why the alleged murderer said he sent pizzas to the victim's house just before he ran down the girl and her best friend. He said on video that he was getting revenge for social media comments about death of Charlie Kirk.
