Happy J Dilla Day to all who celebrate! And if you don't know him it's time look into his work, as he was one of the most innovative hip-hop artists! So much so, that there is a rhythm called after him -- Dilla time: www.ethanhein.com/wp/2022/dill...

This makes sense and it's totally insane and worrisome on top of everything else.
Lots of people are asking me why DOJ is leveraging the ICE deployment in Minnesota to obtain unreacted copies of the state's sensitive voter file data. I recently explained why this is the biggest legal story and may be the biggest political story of the year.
Watch and share.

Trump invaded Venezuela because he didn't get the Nobel Prize (among other things :) ); now he wants Greenland. I'd say if they give him an Oscar for Greenland 2, he might just let that drop. Look, he can play a very convincing Earth-destroying comet:
