If you're a 1L starting law school in coming weeks, just remember: You're *supposed to* feel a bit confused at first. It's normal. Law is like a language. You learn it best through immersion. You'll take a few weeks to get to speed.

It makes me deeply angry as a D.C. resident that this fundamentally unserious person with no knowledge of local D.C. issues is now the person in charge of prosecuting most serious crimes committed in the District.
REPORTER: Do you support a federal takeover of Washington DC as the president suggested?

Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes.

Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items.

If you’ve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.

The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.

He’s trying to create his own militia so he doesn’t need the military to comply in order to complete the hostile takeover of the country. The illegal and forceful gerrymandering is one of the back-up plans in case he’s not able to eliminate elections by that time.

I.C.E. is now a recruitment center for the worst of society. It’s also a literal Army he is building to prevent his removal from office. Recruiting the National Guard to assist ICE? Don’t be fooled.

But we don’t have funding for healthcare for the disabled, elderly and our veterans.

Bass: We just heard that the administration’s experiment failed. The raids that were happening in Los Angeles—the random pulling and snatching of people off the streets based on the language they spoke, their appearance, where they work—the court has said that can no longer happen.
