In a move that raises very serious First Amendment issues, ICE executed a major splashy operation in California aiming to arrest a guy for posting fliers with names, pictures, and apparent phone numbers for ICE HSI agents.
I am struggling to think what possible law posting that info could violate.

The rest of the world is tragically unprepared for Rich Cincinnati Suburb Guy behaviors. They lack the antibodies for it.
Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.

we are approaching a moment of market singularity economists have only ever theorized: a quantum state of market inefficiency in which it is simultaneously so over and we are also so back
INSANE market action right now. Market exploded higher on a headline attributed to Kevin Hassett. And now nobody can figure out where it came from and the markets are diving again.
