When Bereleh and Faygel Krugman emigrated from Belarus to New York, which was mostly Catholic and Jewish in 1920, I don't think they did for the Scots (with one t) Irish culture

Whoa! Didn’t expect to wake up to this news.
“A year into Trump’s term, voters say Biden was better.”
Trump’s net approval on the economy is now -18. That’s 26 points worse than this point in his first term and a brutal 53 points lower among independents.

Young voters have cratered too. Trump’s sitting at -42 net approval with 18–29 year-olds, a staggering 51-point collapse from +9 at the start of his presidency.

given education polarization and MAGA's reliance on low propensity voters, something like the SAVE Act would almost certainly backfire on republicans (i'm reasonably sure senate republicans understand this too)
i'm against barriers to the fanchise but it would be extremely funny if the republicans enact barriers to voting and nuke their voter base
Been toying with the same thought. Pointless barriers to voting pitched as a solution to an imaginary problem are a bad idea in principle, but Republicans seem very sure it will help them on net, and that’s not really obvious to me.

The content of those files is so shocking, so incriminating, and so dangerous that I have no doubt the effort to bury it is behind many world events, inexplicable shifts in alliances, blackmail and extortion, murder. The scope of it is incomprehensible. Fixing it will be some dangerous work.

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total.
The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

I think @wajali.bsky.social was clear. He acknowledges the current fight, but asks @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to lead on the long term goal of abolishing ICE. I don’t understand the leader’s reticence on that very simple, and frankly moderate position.
A simple ? from Wajahat Ali pushes Hakeem Jeffries into a crashout:
"Why not lead and abolish ICE? What you're telling us is you want our taxpayer dollars to pay for a lawless masked armed agency to continue terrorizing our cities."
Jeffries: "I don't understand anything you just said to me."

CoreCivic executives receive cash incentives beyond their base salaries, based on company earnings.
ICE revenues more than doubled in 2025.
Patrick Swindle is now CoreCivic CEO. He is heavily incentivized to grow ICE revenues -- as are executives and investors.

The best case scenario is that Trump will waste $38 billion. The more likely outcome is that these will become warehouses of human suffering, and a permanent stain on America's history.
Breaking news: ICE expects to spend $38.3 billion on its plan to acquire warehouses across the U.S. and retrofit them into immigrant detention centers that can hold tens of thousands of people, according to agency documents.

Just as one example, with just a single affidavit I can think of, virtually every other case that has fallen part was attested originally by an HSI agent, not a Feeb.
