This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

Just thinking about a crazy student who immigrated to America, matriculated at King’s College, and helped lead a revolution.
Rubio: "If you come to this country as a student, we expect you to go to class and study and get a degree. If you come here to vandalize a library, take over a campus, and do all kinds of crazy things, we're gonna get rid of these people. And we're gonna continue to do it."

I’m thinking about a South African who came on a student visa and didn’t enroll. When’s he getting kicked out?

Jeff Goldberg explains here why the Hegseth-led discussion he saw on the unsecured Signal messaging app put American military crewmembers lives at risk.
Not a partisan issue. This created enormous risks.

My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example

It's never clear whether Trump is engaging in a deliberate strategy or just reacting to a squirrel, but I had the same thought as Senator Schatz.
Blaming diversity for a plane crash is just depraved as hell but it’s obvious to me that this was an intentional distraction from the massive unlawful screw up with the federal funds freeze.

Trump can own this the way they tied Afghanistan withdrawal and the murder of Laken Riley to Biden. This is the first of many FAA tragedies under a government that fires all federal employees and guts agencies.
