The chips staled long ago, and the jerky has turned. It’s quieter now that the sun has fallen. I nabbed a piece of charred kindling. Maybe I’ll draw again when the light comes back.

DC statehood now.
DC Cir. will allow the continued deployment of National Guard troops in D.C. while the litigation continues.
Decision rests on idea that D.C. has no sovereignty (or federalism interest) of its own bc it is not a state.

Here is the Department of Homeland Security touting this new ban by describing the (among others) spouses and children of U.S. citizens coming on visas as "foreign invaders."
It has never been about legal versus illegal. They hate legal immigration. They want to stop it. That's the story.

You don’t give a “shockingly candid” interview ripping your own administration and then act surprised when people quote you. That’s not a media problem. That’s a foresight problem.

The usual suspects are trying to drag the Overton Window to permit “deport all Muslims” as acceptable rhetoric.
Consider what should be done to those people, and then drag the Overton Window to encourage that.

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker.
This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

DHS published data claiming to show that it is "starting with the worst of the worst" immigrants. I analyzed the data: DHS has classified just 4% of ICE arrests as the "worst", most for nonviolent offenses, and hundreds for minor crimes like drug possession, traffic infractions, and illegal entry.
