In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows:

An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

Modern-Day Peaceful Protest…

TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea.

The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

CISA – a federal agency that helps secure elections from foreign threats and disinformation – has placed its employees on administrative leave. The move puts the security and integrity of elections in the U.S. at risk.

🚨An open letter to the Democrats. 🚨

Get off your fucking letter writing asses and do something, anything that is not the norm. Every fucking one of you is still acting like the kid in HS that spent his time with model Gov or junior UN haveing debates full of platitudes and quips to win your point.

Can anyone tell me whether studies being done by NIH will be affected by any of these freezes?

My son has been enrolled in one for almost 20 years and they JUST had a huge breakthrough. It would be devastating to stop it now.

Never got into twitter so I’m still trying to figure out how to be seen on here.

Need to talk to anyone who is familiar with the UK laws regarding immigration from the US, specifically dependents on an adult’s (/parent’s) work visa.

Please help.

My husband and I are researching whether moving to Scotland is feasible for us right now. We are in the US.

We have 3 kids, ages 19, 16, and 13. We know that should my husband get a work visa, myself and our two younger children would be able to come over on his. But we’re in sure of our oldest. 1/

After every mass shooting, gun lovers insist they need their stockpiles to fight tyranny.

Yet here we are, knee-deep in tyranny, and no one is batting an eye or bearing any arms.

It’s almost like it’s more about owning guns/libs than giving a shit about other people’s wellbeing.

Huh.

Wrote all of my government representatives yesterday regarding Elon. For Fetterman’s, I added that I was really unhappy with his Yes vote for Bondi but again, the rest of it was about Elon.

Here’s his response.

I get that when you're used to being privileged equality can feel like oppression, but the entitled clowns destroying the US government are making even that assessment look generous.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
