I've answered consulting client questions dozens of times over the years to the effect of "should I force my users traveling to China to take burner devices to safeguard our IP?"
It's amazing that in just a few short months, the US is on par with China for many countries' espionage concerns.

This is our Gestapo.
One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.
An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Every time someone my age says something about “a brainrot trend on TikTok…” I’m compelled to remind Gen X that we were obsessed with Gregorian chant for a year in the 90s. Like we *went to the mall* & *bought CDs of it*. We blasted it in our cars driving to our high schools. This was normal to us🥸

Schumer thinks he’s smart to vote with GOP now because “in 6 months Trump will be unpopular.”
Tax fraud conviction, insurrection, fascism, & literally being judged a rapist in court didn’t make Trump unpopular. What is Schumer smoking to think THIS time will be different?
Schumer—resign & retire.

Schumer tells me Republicans might try to jam Democrats again in September, but thinks Trump will be less popular then and Republican appropriators might be more willing to stand up to him. He said they refused to do so now.
