Two things are true about Lindsey Graham, he’s a corrupt cowardly spineless criminal and he’s also scared shitless over whatever highly damaging info that the MAGA regime has on him. What a pathetic soulless treasonous piece of shit.

Ho hum, another day, another LLM-generated submission to a journal I edit. Fake references and junk. This is a huge time-waste for everyone.
Too bad, because if you know what you are doing and use an appropriate LLM, they actually can be useful to do some mathematics.

Again, as we observe not only ICE but <gestures at everything today alone, including Don Lemon & the Epstein Files>, I will reiterate that there is a constitutional solution to the systematic violation of the law & the court orders, & it is not more laws or court orders.

ICE is violating court orders at a record pace but, sure, some additional training and a few administrative rules will bring them to heel.

Six days ago federal officers murdered a man in the streets of Minneapolis and we still don't know their identities. Is there any modern precedent for this?

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.
This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.
They must be released immediately.
