Our government shouldn't be able to consign people to conditions in a foreign country that would be constitutional violations, and criminal too, here.

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

Trump, on the leader of Russia:
"Putin is tired of this whole thing and he’s not — he’s not looking good. And he wants to look good”
It's hard to imagine a more fundamental misunderstanding.
No, Putin is not "tired of the whole thing" - the war is the only thing keeping his economy going

I'll never get over the coverage Clinton, Biden, and Harris were subjected to when this man does crimes, falls asleep on tv, and speaks in word salads.
Trump to UAE president: "We have a term 'groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food, it's a pretty accurate term but it's an old fashioned sound but groceries are down."

people have a weird “beggars can’t be choosers” attitude here, but quite literally if you want housing provision to be an effective intervention it needs to be done in a way that makes it easier, not harder, for people to get access to the services they need to get ahead

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

The Economist says that the Gaza health ministry's death toll, criticized by some as inflated and as Hamas propaganda, might actually undercount the death toll (it could be as much as double).

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.
