She was truly singular and incandescent.
My sister and I were with her as were her siblings when she crossed over at 1:47 this afternoon.
I may share more later but for now I’m devastated. Goodbye, Mom.

I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.

Nine days after the 2024 presidential election, I interviewed Chair Powell at a public event in Dallas. I asked him what happened the last time the Fed was not seen as credibly independent. Here's part of his response

Good on Jake Tapper. For my part, I could not have sat in his chair across the desk from this vapid moron spouting idiotic, hypocritical non-answers from her surgically-enhanced face hole without losing my composure.
Tapper to Noem: "I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers on J6. Trump pardoned them all. You said Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. That's just not true. There's a different standard for LEOs being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters."

ICE are thug scum
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Threat right out in the open. These pieces of shit really operate with impunity and the belief they're accountable to no one.

The only way the next democratic administration is going to do anything even somewhat resembling reforming and rooting out lawless thugs from ICE and elsewhere is due to sustained popular pressure. Otherwise, the instinct from the Dem elite to just turn the page and move on is going to be massive

Can you imagine you’re some poor schlub who came to town to visit family and ended up in the same hotel that’s quartering ICE?
Oh, I bet that class of citizen hates ICE as much as any other right about now.

State Prosecutions of Federal Agents and the Presidential Pardon Power
State prosecutions of ICE agents may end up in federal courts, but any conviction would be beyond the president’s pardon power.

Laughably, it did not have even close to that effect sir. You have to put yourself in the shoes of the average juror-and not to put too fine a point on it-that could mean either a civil or a criminal jury, and view this video through that lens. Also, good god, Vance is the most stupid man alive.

Mrs. Maloney and I are lawyers. That's the thing: there's not enough money in the world to have the guy in this video for my client. A jury sees this, a few of them will volunteer to dig the hole themselves.

If this is in fact the video from Ross's cell phone recording, a prosecutorial heavy lift might have just gotten a little lighter.
Alpha News claims that it has obtained the cellphone video recorded by the ICE officer who shot and killed Renee Good.

/7 Prosecuting a cop for misconduct, let alone murder, is the hardest prosecution you can do in America. Thanks to America’s culture it’s like trying to convict a fucking kitten for high treason. It’s like trying to convict Jesus. You just cannot rush over confidently into that.
