This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

If the Jets stopped screwing themselves over with turnovers and penalties, they could actually be decent.

This is how you get a lot of government workers to suddenly decide to quit without notice. And that appears to be part of the point.

Johnson: "It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis - I don't know the details, I just saw a headline - but there are some legal analysts saying that might not be appropriate or necessary"

Do CBS News executives understand that MAGA will not be in power forever? I genuinely think this is lost on a lot of people. They've gotten scammed by bad actors into believing Trump's 2024 win represented something seismic and even permanent. I predict they'll look back on this as a serious error.

CBS News current president Tom Cibroski praised Weiss on the call, saying "Bari's energy and passion is infectious and you will feel it, big time." He also added that the Free Press and CBS News "are going to learn a lot from each other...that's what this is all about."

Canadian Supreme court. Everyone is dressed in bright red wooly gowns, with a beige trim. It looks sort of like a Santa robe

I see twenty thousand people a day, and maybe two of them are assholes. Even on a stressful day, even in an unfamiliar environment, even hungry and tired and on a timer.

That's a *much* better ratio than folks realize.

I see no reason as it stands to complain about the pace from governors like Pritzker dealing with a previously unfathomable constitutional crisis. Public opinion matters. Institutional inertia matters. Openly shattering the government's monopoly on force is not something you leap into ill-prepared.

As Gov. Pritzker says in his opening statement, ICE and CPB are attempting to provoke a reaction by their actions in Chicago. And as he says -- more or less -- at the time stamp below, he won't order state police to physically confront them, b/c he can't.

Laur-eeeeee😱 (spooky scream) @laurie-merrell.bsky.social · 1d

If you still know anyone who imagines that Pritzker or Johnson will order police under their command to arrest federal agents, you can send them this (1hr12min42sec timestamp). They are explicit that they will not and they view courts as only venue for enforcement.
