This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

The authors "estimate that by 2025, the Brexit process had reduced UK GDP per capita by 6 to 8 percent, investment by 12 to 18 percent, employment by 3 to 4 percent, and productivity by 3 to 4 percent. These effects grew gradually over time." www.nber.org/202602/diges...

Professional athletes are being advised not to leave the hotel or go anywhere without their passports while visiting Minnesota.

This is not a country that can safely host international events like the World Cup.

Boycotting is not even a political question anymore. It is a basic issue of safety.
The Montreal Canadiens are playing the Minnesota Wild in Minneapolis tonight. The players have been recommended to stay in/eat at the hotel, take the team bus to the arena, and carry passports.

Perhaps we shouldn't be hosting the World Cup and the Olympics...

I was a White House ethics lawyer.

I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.

I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.
Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
 
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
 
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

If a university student group had celebrated Charlie Kirk being killed, complete with a graphic made from an actual picture of the killing, the whole lot of them would have been expelled before the ink on the digital story was dry.

This is something really special, from one of my favorite science communicators, but also one of my favorite cultural commentators. Do yourself a favor and set aside some time to watch it. Your dishwasher will thank you.

Without the caption (and... honestly... even with the caption if you know the context) this could be anti-ice propaganda.

Someone needs to ask Canada's Leader of the Official Opposition if this is still his position as well.

TikTok is censoring the words “Epstein” and “ICE” — and that alone should tell you how fast political censorship just arrived in America.

We don’t owe them anything. They spent a decade ignoring obvious evidence implicating the most guilty while fabricating insane accusations against the innocent.

Bari Weiss darling CBS's Peter Attia skipped out on visiting his baby son in the ICU so he could meet with Jeffrey Epstein.

How many times are we going to discover something about someone in conservative circles and think, "That would never make it out of a writers' room. It's too over-the-top."

Just so everyone is clear: the valve here releases pressure that would otherwise build on her leadership from within her party.

She would rather lose the country than her own job.
