I'm so glad Trump's election ended the era of "political prosecutions" and that after a decade of whining about such prosecutions there is no chance Trump or any of his people will ever go after any Democratic politician

Rampell: If you look at whom Trump prioritized for deportation in his first term, it was not the criminals. He released more convicted criminals convicted and charged criminals into the US than Biden did because he was filling up his jails with asylum seekers and TPS recipients

This was very difficult to read: The Spurs announced earlier today that Gregg Popovich suffered a mild stroke before a game on Nov. 2.
The Spurs say a full recovery is expected but no firm timetable for Pop’s return has been established.

Funnily enough, only a couple of weeks ago then candidate Trump outlined his tariff policy, and now a few weeks later he's talking about a different set of tariffs on different countries at different rates.
** TRUMP THREATENS 25% TARIFFS ON ALL MEXICO IMPORTS
The US imported $476 billion from Mexico last year - more than any other country
A 25 percent tariff on those imports would translate into a roughly $100 billion annual tax — or ~$1 trillion over the next decade

Social media is in desperate need of innovation. Meta is only letting you have a slice of control over what you see because Bluesky is here building for you.

Today they took another step— finally allowing users to set their default feeds to a chronological “following” feed.
