Here’s something Trump could work on to damage the Mexican cartels. But he won’t. Nothing to post on social media.

No struggling newspaper ever saved itself by becoming a worse and less essential product. But what's happening today at the @washingtonpost.com is not just the latest devastating contraction of the news industry; it's the gutting of an American institution vital for a healthy society

"Musk is part of the 'PayPal Mafia' of libertarian billionaires with roots in South Africa under white rule. They include co-founder Peter Thiel, who was educated there in the 1970s, former chief operating officer David Sacks, and Roelof Botha, grandson of the apartheid regime’s foreign minister."

Plus the PayPal founders are a bunch of white supremacists who hate Europe and democracy.

Tomorrow, Mike Johnson's majority in the House will be down to one vote, which means, in my humble opinion, that Rep. Thomas Massie has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.

This rules so hard. In law school I remember people who wanted to be federal prosecutors spending three years doing everything they could to be maybe, possibly be competitive for an AUSA job someday. Now you just need to hop on X the everything app and DM a guy named Chad.

In 2017, six actresses told the LA Times that a prominent Hollywood director was sexually violent toward them.

They were talking about Brett Ratner, who stood next to Melania Trump to celebrate the premiere of Melania, his eponymous documentary about the First Lady.

So...
- ICE was staying in a hotel
- The hotel management worried they might go after an employee
- They informed ICE of the legal status, which permitted the employee to live and work in the US
- ICE promises they'll leave him alone
- Then they arrest the guy anyway
JUST IN: ICE agents in Minnesota arrested an employee at the St. Louis Park Homewood Suites — where they were staying to help carry out Operation Metro Surge.

A federal judge just ordered the man's release.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.
