Unsurprisingly, Trump's immigration crackdown is not delivering labor market improvements for the US-born
Over the last year, native-born unemployment is up from 3.9% to 4.3% while native-born employment has decreased by a similar amount

You're only allowed to do that while seeking to *secure* a death penalty.
A veteran lawyer in the Philly DA's Office has been disbarred after a panel of judges concluded he “lied repeatedly” while seeking to overturn the death sentence of a man who killed an East Mount Airy couple.

One thing that drives me crazy about this is that it would constitute a bait-and-switch that radically rebalances power in a way that fundamentally relies on Congress having deceived about its own ability to constrain executive agencies.
NEW: SCOTUS appears ready to give Trump greater firing powers, over sharp liberal warnings.
The Republican appointees are almost certain to overturn a 90-year precedent, as Trump wants. Pushing back, Sotomayor told DOJ: “You’re asking us to destroy the structure of government.”

That was an absolutely spectacular play between Shea Theodore and Jack Eichel to win it for Vegas with 8 seconds left in OT.
It was a set play off the d-zone draw. Theodore banked it off the boards to a perfect place for Eichel to skate into it, deke Quick, and win it!

I’m kind of new to the Democrats, but I thought we were FOR respecting the legal process, and also that we were AGAINST political corruption. And that it was especially important to hold to these principles at this time.
But I guess there’s some insider memo I didn’t get that would set me straight?

The case for a stock trading ban
After becoming a congressional leader, a politician’s stock portfolio beats out those of peers by 47 (!!!) percentage points a year through trades timed around bills and firms that later get government contracts

This is an example of how tiny details are the difference between saves and goals (and in this case, an embarrassing goal).

For those who were so concerned about Alex Ovechkin's empty-net goals as he chased down Wayne Gretzky's NHL goal record last season, he now has more goals than Gretzky (and everyone else) when excluding their empty-net goals, too.

You can bully companies into dropping DEI programs, and you can force the public library to pull books with queer characters. But you can’t, in the end, force other people to approve of your bigotry, which is what they really want.
