Saw this today at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. I'm not religious but it felt blasphemous

Sucks that you have to go to another country to find a properly sized Ram pickup! I would buy this in the US

This seems like an attempt to save holiday travel and take SNAP benefits off the negotiating table, but sets up another shutdown fight over healthcare early next year.

Better than what some of the reporting has suggested. Still unclear if it'll pass IMO

Requiring ID to shop at a grocery store is the kind of Big Brother government surveillance that libertarians have long railed against

To be clear, it is not actually funny that Bill "Fuck the Justice Manual" Essayli is in charge of federal prosecutions for all of Southern California right now. I guess they don't think they can get the votes to confirm him
Screenshot of linked article that says: It’s his leadership on criminal enforcement, however, that’s caused internal tension as the immigration crackdown in LA sparked civil unrest, multiple attorneys said. His strident communication style exacerbated those concerns, they added. Essayli shouted “Fuck the Justice Manual” at a team of his attorneys pursuing an indictment stemming from the protests, said four current and former federal prosecutors familiar with the incident. Essayli’s reference to DOJ’s handbook of prosecution rules came during a break from lawyers’ presentation to a grand jury. A grand juror overheard the exchange, they said. In a separate episode, three former prosecutors said he forced staff against their counsel to prioritize prosecution of LA resident Alejandro Orellana for distributing face shields to protesters—a case that pitted Trump’s base on social media against those supporting demonstrators.

But Brett Kavanaugh said this couldn't happen. Is it purposeful ignorance or malice? #KavanaughStop
Excerpt from Norm v. Vasquez Pedromo SCOTUS decision: Under this Court’s precedents, not to mention common sense, those circumstances taken together can constitute at least reasonable suspicion of illegal presence in the United  States. Importantly, reasonable suspicion means only that immigration officers may briefly stop the individual and  inquire about immigration status. If the person is a U. S.  citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that  individual will be free to go after the brief encounter. Only if the person is illegally in the United States may the stop  lead to further immigration proceedings.
