In Bovino's upside down world, there is no difference between an armed gang member preying on others in his community and a guy working 12 hours a day washing cars, flipping burgers, or installing sheetrock to feed his family — and he wants you to hate and fear both men equally.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.
Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

If you didn't realize this earlier, this latest action by the Administration amply demonstrates it does not have the back of federal workers.

Nothing shows respect for the military better than a sleepy speech rambling incoherently about paper stock and the "two N words" you can't say. A true blessing for the top brass.

This is a damning anecdote from Rep Jim McGovern. He tells me that during debate over Trump's big budget bill, House Rs privately admitted to him that it would screw over their own constituents, yet they had to vote for it anyway.

The analysis of China’s energy moves is worth a read, but the idea that Trump is guided by thoughtful national security rationales to cling to fossil fuels is laughable. What about regulatory capture? Fossil fuel $$? Climate denialism? Ideologically driven sabotage of clean energy projects?

We made a deliberate choice as a nation, until now, not to have a police state. We siloed off federal data and put in place laws, regulations, policies and internal norms to prevent the federal government from putting together everything it knows about you into one place.

Great essay. And for college students a lack of a “leisure ethic” generates additional impediments to learning. Apathy toward self-improvement meshes unsettlingly well with students’ diminished ability to focus.
