Still trying to understand the Hyundai ICE raid. Supposedly a months-long investigation that... picked up people here on visas, permanent residents, and U.S. citizens?
I also haven't seen anyone charged under 8 USC §1324a for hiring undocumented employees.

A lawless and illegitimate regime and its minions are not entitled to the protection of the rule of law.
UPDATE: Fox News reports that ICE told Kilmar Abrego Garcia they are going to deport him to Uganda on Monday.

Something that I have been thinking about with attribution of "PhD level intelligence" or "PhD level expertise" to a machine is that it reflects an increasing trend among these AI bros and their sycophants to want the products of highly skilled training without actually doing any of the work.

“Hey quick follow up for the History Respecter — what aspect of the Confederacy are you *most* proud of?
The treason against the United States? The defense of slavery? All the losing? I bet it’s the losing.”

Hegseth on restoring a Confederate monument in Arlington cemetery: "We recognize our history. We don't erase it. We don't follow the woke lemmings off the cliff that want to tear down statues ... we're proud of our history."

Freedom to cause offense without being jailed or sued is a thing.
Freedom to cause offense without being criticized, shunned, and despised is not. The very concept is incoherent.

I am also happy because neither Harmonies nor Wingspan allowed you to do bad things to competing players. My wife carries a grudge. We were playing a game — don’t remember which one — and I took a coffee-producing city before she could and she still talks about it. The game was in 1996.

The Federalist Society continues to be the only group brave and open-minded enough to discuss the questions other groups are too smart to address
Judges should have "more skin the game" when it comes to issuing injunctions, VanDyke suggested.
"You could say, if you issued a nationwide injunction, you have to shoot your dog or something like that."
