It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

This shouldn’t be surprising - his appeal has always had a WWF, let’s watch him burn everything to the ground quality to it. Many Americans simply have no idea how good they have it.
This means there is a significant subset of the polled who consider Trump’s regime BOTH “chaotic” AND “exciting.” This is nihilism.

Turkey, and the Ottoman Empire before it, has long been an important lever in maintaining geopolitical stability between Europe and Asia. It’s economic relevance has always been secondary.
Few heads of state are luckier than Erdogan: No matter how badly he mismanages the Turkish economy or shreds its democracy, every few years events compel European leaders to look past those things and embrace him once again. www.economist.com/europe/2025/...

Trump talks tariffs. The EU talks free trade with the rest of the world.
With the United States throwing up the highest trade barriers in a century, Ursula von der Leyen’s European Commission is on a mission to do trade deals with everyone else.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

my humble opinion is that if your job is to manage risk and make big decisions about markets and you screw up your judgement this badly you should be disqualified from ever managing money and also shunned completely from speaking on the subject in public again
