This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.
Well, here’s a link:

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

Trump’s voters have become like the members of the administration, delighting in the crassness and obscenity that pours out of the president and his circle whenever they are challenged. But policies suffer and the public is poorly served.

Jeffries: "Trump, get back to DC. Why are you at a golf event right now & the govt is 4 days away from closing? That's outrageous. And it speaks to the fact that these extremists could care less about the health, safety, and economic well-being of the American people. They're on vacation right now."

My wife and I currently have a marketplace policy. Premiums have not come out for next year yet, but we will be over the new "subsidy cliff" so are likely looking at an increase of ~$14,000 for next year. That's effectively a $14,000 tax increase.

Where are the CEO complaints? The bond vigilantes? Where are billionaire hedge funders who trade on good data? Was Capital's power a mirage?
