It's 9:30 a.m. and I'm watching the Nevada Assembly decide if they want to allow two assembly members to participate remotely (apparently while one of them is on vacation?) before they vote on the Film Tax Credit bill.

This is the most slam-dunk, anti-American thing I can think of. You need a passport to go to a Major League Baseball game now? Malpractice not to make a huge deal out of this.

LA DODGERS just now:
“This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.”
Right on, Dodgers!
More of this, please.

After Arnulfo’s closed in 2023, fast food fans rejoiced after a sign went up on the vacant restaurant in December 2023 stating Carl’s Jr would be “coming soon.” However, “soon” was relative, and updates were few and infrequent. Work officially began in September 2024, and at that time applicant Miranda Brake said the restaurant was finishing up permitting. According to job listings on Indeed, the restaurant is currently hiring for a number of positions including cashiers, a district manager, assistant manager, general manager, opener, cooks, and shift leads.
