INBOX: Rep. Thomas Massie, who has enraged Trump for his insistence on blocking tariffs and releasing the Epstein files according to the law, just issued what is widely known among Chinese dissidents as "a declaration of no suicidal intent" (不自殺聲明), a sign of extreme distress.

It's going to be wild when Paxton gets the GOP nomination in Texas, loses in the general, and the Dems miraculously grab a 51-49 lead in the Senate in November . . .
. . . and then Fetterman switches parties in December.

Social Security Workers Are Being Told to Hand Over Appointment Details to ICE

I need this form factor with modern ARM hardware
In the 70s, Sharp had a series of "Latte case" boomboxes; as the line went on, more and more got put into it, like TVs. One of the last in the line was the RatecaPuter - a latte-case boombox with a 2KB computer that could run SHARP Basic programs off of the built in tape deck.

In my experience, most of my (native-born) American friends think the immigration system is somewhere between Feivel in "An American Tale," Cousin Balki on "Perfect Strangers," and Gerard Depardieu in "Green Card."
The current ICE surge is forcing them to learn that it isn't so
The current ICE surge is forcing them to learn that it isn't so
In other words, "what Americans think about immigration" is, if you take it literally, a null category. They don't think anything about the reality of immigration because they simply do not know the reality of immigration. They can not have opinions on things they do not know.

Yes and no. There's suburban sprawl like Long Island, where the sprawl also had a racial component (Leavittown, famously). That existed early on in NoVA, but by the early 90s the counties involved were majority-minority/no-majority counties.

The NoVa suburbs are diverse and vibrant in ways that inner Arlington and Alexandria often aren’t because the rent has not priced out the kind of small business and communities that make a place vibrant and diverse
Some really dismal land use here in old suburban Manassas, Virginia. Look at the small townhome blocks that back onto the rear of the very long strip plaza.
Yet this area is also home to a multitude of small, local immigrant-owned businesses. It's opportunity, too.

I use these kinds of glasses displays with a Steam Deck if I’m on a plane and it rules. I have a prescription insert for mine.
I have these glasses as well (I am a tech nerd, sue me). No cameras attached, just a big imaginary screen floating in space in front of you. Not bad for having a big screen experience without lugging an actual big screen with you.
I really like my Viture XR glasses. They’re not practical to wear as regular sunglasses, but they’re very useful for using your electronics in public places without anyone seeing your screen.
Also very useful for those of us whose near vision is going.

Part of what makes this so insane is that Michigan and Ontario are essentially one big manufacturing complex together. If the border shuts down, assembly plants in Brampton, ON and London, ON halt because of no parts from Detroit. Sub-assemblies in Michigan depend on inputs from Ontario & vice-versa
Remarkable: Trump's deranged threat to block the bridge connecting Detroit to Canada is backfiring, giving Dems a big issue in 2026 races in Michigan, which could help decide control of Congress.
