If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear

Per Friends of BLS, Bureau of Labor Statistics has lost 20% of its staff since Jan, including 1/3 of leadership.
As I wrote in July, I requested these figures at least a dozen times from BLS/DOL. They blew me off. Other agencies have sustained similar losses

The tragic Texas flood warning failure is a reminder: Government protections, like vaccines, save countless lives, but require trust and upkeep to work their quiet magic. When politicians claim these systems do more harm than good, people die. And we’re about to relearn that lesson, again and again.

Ábrego García:

- Was forced to kneel overnight, beaten if he collapsed, made to soil himself
- Heard screams as gang members freely harmed each other

You've heard about how ICE deported a bunch of adults to a Salvadoran torture prison based on their tattoos. Did you know that the Big Beautiful Police State Act includes millions to identify "gang kids" the same way?

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

If Stephen Miller were to spend a week in Port-au-Prince with the money in his pocket that an average Haitian has, he'd likely determine otherwise.
They actually just said
"The Secretary determined that, overall, country conditions have improved to the point where Haitians can return home in safety."
