Tell me again how someone can ‘take your job’ without papers, ID, or rights — while also collecting benefits they don’t qualify for.

If you ever want to see a Trump supporter go insane, just casually mention he's never won an election against a man.

And to be clear: the "national collective goal" here for the US is also totally incoherent and inscrutable and changes day to day.

It's pretty funny that Trump has engineered a geo-political game of chicken between two societies - the US and China - where the winner will be the society most willing to withstand economic pain and inconveience in furtherance of some future national collective goal. Not really a US strong suit!

it's a bit grim but i think most people probably have a mental "things to do if i have 24 hours to live" list and i would guess approximately zero people in the world have "meet JD vance" on theirs

A few of the justices might be going through The Realization.
Just before 1 a.m., #SCOTUS stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation with a (remarkable) ruling that suggests, among other things, that a majority of the justices is tiring of the Trump administration’s Calvinball.

Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.
