Peter Navarro: "The jobs report comes out tomorrow. We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like ... Wall Street has to adjust for the fact that we're deporting millions of illegals out of the job market."

It's quite the culture that we've created: We've made pedophiles our ultimate boogeymen, but then we completely ignore the victims and protect the perpetrators with redactions and legal bargains.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. Heβs referenced 38,000 times.

"Libertarians can be annoying." I stopped reading after that sentence, as there was no way she was going to say anything else as true as that.
I feel like I'm losing my goddamnned mind.

Seattle is tied for my favorite city in the US, so even though I don't follow football, I'm happy they won. That's my most controversial Super Bowl take.

What does the word βFarsiβ mean?
Uncle Jay Hubbard's answer:
> βFarsi [1]is the name of the Persian language as spoken in Iran. Itβs the endonymβwhat native speakers call their own languageβand it comes from a historical sound shift...

The Awakening, my latest novel, is #litfic with a speculative angle and a heavy mix of humor. Available everywhere in both print and e-book editions.

Seeing all the "How can they do this legally??" replies is making me want to laugh and cry at the same time.
You all started it and we fucking finished it.
Ted Cruz (@tedcruz)
A brazen abuse of power & an insult to democracy.
47% of VA voted Trump. They will now get just 9% of the seats.
52% of VA voters voted Harris. Now they get 91% of the seats.
(By comparison, in TX, 56% voted Trump; GOP gets 79% of the seats.)

Trump being a racist isn't news. Trump's supporters making excuses for him isn't news. We've seen this all before.
The focus should be on what his Obama video says about who he thinks his audience is. Make it clear *he thinks* his followers are fine with overt racism.

To see the paper gutted and watered down even while Jeff Bezos' wealth grows exponentially is something that should anger any person who cares about journalism. I don't imagine the paper will actually go away, but its value as a tool for informing the public has taken a huge, potentially fatal hit.

I was also a subscriber to WAPO for many years, in large part because it had a well-earned reputation of being one of the finest journalistic outlets in the world.
Alas, the current owner is now doing to the Washington Post what he did to the book industry.

Many (many) years ago, I had an article published on the front page of the Business section of the @washingtonpost.com. It was the highlight of my young "career" (if you could call it that) and the experience of working with the Washington Post editorial team was a joy.

Accountability for ICE and CBP
However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is β the reality is far far worse.
