Rand Paul was the only Republican senator not invited to Trump’s luncheon at his new Rose Garden Club today. He said he had lunch with Thomas Massie instead. bsky.app/profile/blue...
Rand Paul: There is no fentanyl made in Venezuela. Not just a little bit, there's none being made... These are outboard boats that, in order for them to get to Miami, would have to stop and refuel 20 times... We don't just summarily execute people.

My signal is annabower.24 if any other United States Attorneys want to text me!
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Forty arrests. Zero charges filed.
This SFPD drug raid was a dud.
But not on social media.

Questions remain about both the efficacy and legality of an SFPD raid in which 40 people were arrested but none have yet been charged

Oh.

The WSJ is blaming Krasner for the fact that Philly’s homicide rates are down “only” ~40%.
Gun robbery down ~35%, car theft down ~30%. Basically EVERYTHING down.
So now? It’s just not down ENOUGH.
“Tough on crime” can NEVER be wrong. Never. And reform NEVER right.

The industry claimed it would be devastating & require significant job cuts and prices increases
Here is what really happened: workers got a raise, prices went modestly, and the industry continued to add jobs

What really happened after California raised its minimum wage to $20 for fast food workers
What would happen to the fast food industry if it had to pay its workers something closer to a living wage?
