Something to take into account: almost a third of the Cassidy-Crapo bill focuses on surgery for transgender people. It’s barely even trying to conceal how much this bill is about trans people than it is about expanding health care.

I read this criminal complaint and get something different about it:
1) It was written almost exactly a month before statutes of limitation expire--literally last minute.
2) It doesn't REMOTELY meet the standard of proof of the other Jan6 arrest affidavits; even location data spoken of differently.

How are we supposed to trust the FBI & DOJ after years of watching Donald Trump denigrate & politicize them? That question was brought into sharp focus by the arrest earlier this week of Brian Cole, Jr., on bomb planting charges. joycevance.substack.com/p/charges-in...

Can we trust the FBI and this Justice Department after years of watching Donald Trump denigrate and politicize those previously independent agencies?

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

undercovered as part of Our Current Nightmare that 60% of Republican SCOTUS appointments in the 21st century got there by stealing the 2000 election for Bush.

To say this for the 50th time, for anyone who doesn't know:
Three young conservative lawyers were part of the GOP "Florida recount" team that led to GWB becoming president, via Bush-v-Gore.
They were: John Roberts. Brett Kavanaugh. Amy Coney Barrett.
Small world.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.
