My weekly newsletter is up. Along with the usual assortment of fascism and sadness that is this country’s news cycle, I think Sam Alito just shadow dropped his retirement announcement with his book launch.
Is Samuel Alito Preparing to Disrobe?
In this installment of Elie v. US, our justice correspondent explores the week’s big legal news, including a possible Alito retirement. Also, the anti-trans mob’s latest target: tight clothing.

BREAKING:

New reaction from Leader Jeffries to the racist Trump video:

"This disgusting video posted by the so-called president was done intentionally. Fuck Donald Trump and his vile, racist, and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom feeder."

Don't agree with Cato Inst on much. But:

Very glad they have quantified what has been obvious for years.

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.

The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.”

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

Other agents then pepper spray Mr. Pretti, who is holding a phone in one hand and nothing in the other, and pull him to the ground.

"His concealed weapon was found only after he was restrained on the sidewalk, the videos show. It appears to have been taken from him before the agents opened fire."

Yeah so anyway you're not getting discharged from the hospital the same day if you have internal bleeding in your torso.

Even Grok knows that.

LOL.
Hi Grok. If someone suffers internal bleeding in the torso due to a car hitting them, would they likely be discharged the same day from the hospital, or would they have to likely stay overnight for observation at the minimum Searching the web 33 results Browsing web page 1 result No, someone with confirmed internal bleeding in the torso from a car accident would almost never be discharged the same day. In fact, they would typically require at least an overnight hospital stay for observation — and often much longer, depending on the severity. Internal bleeding in the torso (such as from injuries to the spleen, liver, kidneys, or other abdominal/pelvic organs) is a serious medical emergency, even if the person appears stable initially. Trauma from a car accident often involves blunt force that can cause organ lacerations, hematomas, or vessel damage, leading to bleeding that may not be immediately obvious but can worsen over hours.Key Reasons for Hospital Admission and ObservationRisk of delayed or worsening bleeding — Symptoms or significant blood loss can appear hours or even days later, potentially leading to shock, hemodynamic instability, or the need for emergency intervention (e.g., surgery or embolization). Standard trauma protocols — Patients undergo imaging (like CT scans or FAST ultrasound), serial blood tests (to monitor hemoglobin/hematocrit), vital sign monitoring, and clinical exams. Guidelines emphasize admission for hemodynamically stable patients with suspected or confirmed torso bleeding. Even in "mild" or non-operative cases — For common injuries like lower-grade splenic lacerations (often managed without surgery), current recommendations suggest:At least 1 day of observation for low-grade injuries. 2–3 days (or more) for higher-grade ones, with monitoring in a higher-dependency unit if needed. Surgical or severe cases — If active bleeding requires intervention, hospital stays extend significantly (often days to weeks), with risks of complications like infection or re-bleeding. Same-day discharge might only occur in very minor trauma cases with no evidence of internal bleeding after thorough evaluation (negative scans, stable labs, no symptoms). But if internal bleeding is actually present or even strongly suspected from the mechanism of injury, discharge the same day would be highly unusual and generally unsafe.If this relates to a real situation, always follow medical advice from professionals — trauma care is highly individualized based on scans, stability, and other factors. Stay safe!

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

PCE inflation has fallen to 2.1%—nearly at its 2% target—and incomes are up nearly $4,000.

The economy has grown 12.6% under President Biden—more than any presidential term this century.

16 million jobs created and the lowest unemployment in 50 years.

🚨 Do not let Trump take any credit for this.
