Saying this but to a computer
I was the dad at trader joes I was at the Trader Joe's today with my 3 kids. The baby was grumpy and the big kids were asking for everything. You gave me a sympathetic and understanding look. I wish I got that kind of empathy from my wife. You were also beautiful with short hair and no bra I was stunned.

Last month, I led an immigration shadow hearing in Chicago. What happened there is beyond belief.

Children teargassed, CBP agents breaking a 67-year-old man’s ribs, an active duty service member whose father was deported while he was deployed.

There must be accountability.

I'm sure shifting from inappropriately or non-identified agents to non-identified bounty hunters with letters of marque looking for a 9 figure payday won't have any downsides

NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.

RealPage allegedly helped landlords price-fix and jack up the cost of rent.

Instead of cracking down, Trump's Justice Department struck a “deal” that lets them continue to rip off renters.

Is that the art of the deal or a sham? RealPage called it "an endorsement."

The case had alleged that RealPage’s software allowed landlords to unfairly coordinate prices.

Per multiple sources:

Two hours after ruling that Lindsey Halligan was unlawfully appointed to her post as US Atty in Virginia, prosecutors in the office were notified to put name of an assistant U.S. Atty atop cases

At 430p, instruction was reversed. They were told to resume using Halligan’s name

I regret to inform you there is more Olivia Newzzi: the print VF will feature a nude portrait by artist Isabelle Brourman that is also destined for Art Basel Miami Beach. Notably, its inclusion appears be a surprise to VF staff. VF looking worse and worse here. www.artnews.com/art-news/new...
An abstracted nude in the style of Picasso; is it called "How to Disappear and is by the artist Isabelle Brourman." The painting, titled How to Disappear is by the artist Isabelle Brourman and is set to appear in the magazine’s Dec. 2 Hollywood Issue, according to industry newsletter Status, though until now, no image has circulated publicly or even widely inside Condé Nast. Sources tell ARTnews that the portrait that the image is a magazine exclusive and was not intended to run online.

It looks like that BBC page has been updated in the last few minutes, so that's no longer the last sentence. I think part of it has been moved to this paragraph in the middle of the article, and the age is no longer mentioned:

It's extremely telling that none of these pieces quote Linehan's actual tweets. It sounds from the dates that this was steady harassment for more than two weeks.

Every elite authority in the UK appears to have lost their mind in precisely the same way
Reading a summary of her judgment, the judge said she was not satisfied that Linehan’s conduct amounted to harassment or that the complainant was as distressed as they made themselves out to be. In one video of Brooks confronting Linehan, the judge said that the activist looked “visibly happy and not distressed”. She said that Linehan had not tagged the activist in his social media posts, bar one, and that while his comments were “deeply unpleasant, insulting and even unnecessary”, they were not “oppressive or unacceptable beyond merely unattractive, annoying or irritating”. But the judge found that Linehan had taken Brooks’s phone because he was “angry and fed up”, and had damaged it by knocking it to the ground. She said that while the offence was not aggravated by the fact the complainant is transgender, it was because they were 17-years-old at the time.
