I truly hate that this idea actually makes sense, and I'm not kidding one bit.
I continue to believe that the fastest way to get Stephen Miller fired is to convince Trump that Miller's ICE operations are what cost him the Nobel Peace Prize.

If you want to know where Silicon Valley is at these days, this story doesn't mention that one reason the pro-murder VC in this story works at this fund because he was fired for sexual harassment from his prior job at Square.
At times like this I’m glad I deleted my X account so I don’t encounter such ghoulish takes by tech bros and VCs.
Truly just the worst of humanity to celebrate a senseless death just to show your allegiance to their orange king.

My sister and her family live with me at my large house and we get along great. My older sister has divorced herself from the family for the 2nd time, and my older brother is sort of in between. We talk but not often, and we used to be much closer. Things changed after our parents died.
Quick question for people with siblings… do y’all get along as adults, or nah?

Folks need to immediately shut down this kind of framing by the Administration. SCOTUS explicitly held that state and local governments and officials—including law enforcement—are protected under the 10th Amendment from being “commandeered” in order to enforce federal law and regulations.
President Trump will reduce the number of federal agents in Minnesota if local officials there increase their cooperation with U.S. authorities, according to the White House.
