Kristi Noem makes an announcement on Fox & Friends: "We are saying that if you voluntarily want to go home now to your country, if you're in the US illegally, we'll give you $3,000 through the holidays to send you home. We'll buy you a ticket, give you $3,000 to go home."

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.
Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.
See for yourself.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

The single biggest question in American law today is:
Are lies a get-out-of-laws-free card? Can the government simply lie to grant itself new powers? And is everyone else under an obligation to act as if obvious lies are true, or at minimum, that they might have merit and deserve respect?

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just took the bench. She's expected to rule on a request for a preliminary injunction governing the use of force by federal agents in Chicago.

Given that I don't recall Leslie Knope ever suggesting any kind of ideas on the freedom of trade or even much on geopolitical reality outside of Pawnee and her seething hatred of the neighboring town (Eagleton? I forget) I'd really love to hear the argument for her being a neoliberal.
The reason 30 Rock succeeds years later while parks and rec has aged like a toilet full of milk, is that 30 Rock doesnt shy away from portraying Liz Lemon as an obvious villian with a victim/hero complex, whereas Leslie Knope was played just a straight hero character, even tho she is a neolib shill

When President AOC federalizes the National Guard in 2029 to protect abortion clinics, Ilan is going to magically discover an English treatise written in 1610 that proves Matthew Kacsmaryk can issue a nationwide injunction against her.
We don’t have to carry water for dictators. Just my thought.

You wouldn't blame fascist hatred of liberal intellectuals on some initial offense committed by those intellectuals which "broke their brains." It's pure tribal out-group hatred for essentially psychological reasons, for which an entire pretextual ideology was constructed over time.

What? Firing the head of the BLS didn't fix the cratering labor market?
The U.S. labor market appears to be stalling. The economy added only 22,000 jobs in August, well below the number that forecasters had expected.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

The media deliberately downplayed the fact that the US economy rebounded from the Covid crash far better than other countries because of Biden’s spending on investing in the American economy and people. They hyped inflation, omitting the fact that US inflation was comparable to that of other
