The people who should be complaining about Netflix buying Warner Bros are the producers, actors, writers, directors and others involved in the creation of visual content, as the number of viable places to shop their wares dwindles further.

"Trump and Miller both judge people by their ethnic group, and they judge those ethnic groups by the condition of their ancestral country." This sort of racial collectivism is absolutely at the glowing core of MAGA fury. The thing is, though, that U.S. public opinion isn't on board with it.

Has anyone written a coherent, good-faith argument *against* a ban on stock trading by members of Congress, or in favor of the status quo? What is the argument lawmakers use when explaining why they don't want a vote on the matter? Having trouble finding.

They are running the government according to the logic of right-wing grievance media. I cannot emphasize that enough. The point is to create content, and they don't see an actual difference between dunking on Sabrina Carpenter, passing legislation, and bombing other countries.
I don't really know what the administration hopes to gain by picking fights with the most well-liked pop artists in the United States. You're just generating backlash for no discernible reason outside of owning the libs.
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.
The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.

“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.”

Typically,the phrase,"Fog of War is used to describe decisions made in complex armed conflicts.
Bombing a boat might create a fog like cover as it explodes,and illegally bombing an non combatant boat while using the term,"Fog of War", is completely inappropriate and foolish, though quite dramatic.

We owe these Afghani-Americans a lot. We owe our troops who fought in Afghanistan and Iraq a lot. The constitution demands everyone here the law as a shield against caprice. In the GWOT, we owe ourselves a fuller accounting, at the very least because the 2001 AUMF is still in effect.
"Mustafa served alongside the United States military in Afghanistan. Like so many other Afghans who helped American forces, he later came to the US for its promise of refuge. When I met him recently, though, he had only just left an ICE detention center after months behind bars."
The US Let Afghanistan Fall. Now It's Deporting Afghans.
As the Trump administration escalates deportations, tens of thousands of Afghans are in the US without permanent legal protections.
