We can dispense with legality in exchange for a robust stock market? How do we protect our earnings if everyone is a criminal?
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

I saw a graph of the pace of deportations/arrests over this and the two previous terms. Biden's showed a ramping up, a peak, and a decline. The graph could easily be interpreted to say that the Biden admin had dealt with the problem and was on course. Then Trump tor-paedo-ed the immigration bill.
👀 CATO INSTITUTE: “Biden didn’t cause the border crisis… Many believe Biden caused this increase in migration by reducing border enforcement. However, data challenges this narrative — the crisis began before Biden took office and ended before he left.” www.cato.org/blog/biden-d...

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

RON JOHNSON: In Central America, if you become a police chief, the drug cartels send you a DVD w/ a video of your family going to church or school...that's what ICE agents are facing

The best brain break I've had in a while is Wonder Man on Disney+. Just a hangout with two incredible actors with minimal superhero stuff and very little previous knowledge of the Marvel universe needed. A blast beginning to end, and I wanted more the second the 8 half-hour episodes were over.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

And people like me are at the upper end of the spectrum. I don’t have any kids or dependents, I have resources if anything goes wrong, I’m protected. Incomprehensible to me what this must feel like to everyone living at the margins with no safety net - immigrants first on that list. It’s a crime

Something I think a lot of people aren't clear on, Liam's parents have followed the legal process of claiming asylum. They are here LEGALLY.
Liam was being used to try to lure someone ELSE out of the house. He and his father were taken because that failed.
Now ... they seek revenge.
