The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court earlier this month to stay a federal judge’s order that had limited immigration agents in the Los Angeles area from stopping, questioning and detaining people based on factors that included their “apparent ethnicity,” language and place of work.
Place of work - restaurant, car wash, landscaping business. Oh and also, Home Depot parking lots.

Three different federal grand juries in D.C. refused to indict a woman on felony charges that she assaulted an FBI agent during an immigration protest in July. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office finally conceded Monday and knocked it down to a misdemeanor, which doesn’t require a grand jury to charge.

Pure fantasy. What Israel wants and what Hamas wants are irreconcilable. There is no “diplomatic push” that will end this war.

“I don’t want to be defense only. We want offense too.” [Trump wants to rename the Department of Defense the Department of War.]
What’s the over/under that he has no idea it was originally called the DoW?

OK, can we finally dispense with the photos of that repulsive fuckwit? I would rather look at dog shit. I draw the line at looking.
Coincidentally, my crack research team uncovered an old audio recording of the bloated imbecile on his way to dinner with one of his supporters, who draw no line whatsoever . . .

Btw, saw this posted yesterday online on a forum. Its supposedly the last photo taken of Queen Elizabeth before she pased. The reason it was posted was to highlight her hand. It does look familiar.

Law Firms Doing Free Trump Commerce Department Work As Part Of ‘Please Don’t Hurt Us, Daddy’ Deals
Wait! I thought they were just going to do work for veterans.
Kirkland and Paul Weiss are repping the Commerce Department for free, presumably as part of their pro bono payola deals. Skadden’s situation is still up in the air.
So much for those grand declarations the firms sent to Congress just a few months back. Despite explicit claims from the administration that, under the deal, the firms would be conscripted to paper up nonsense tariff deals, the firms hand-waved it all away as preposterous. Nonetheless, those letters dripped with bravado about how the firm would never be coerced into abandoning principles. Paul Weiss specifically promised that its free work would be limited “to assist our nation’s veterans, to combat anti-Semitism, and to promote the fairness of the justice system.” Kirkland’s response offered fewer specifics but declared that its pro bono work would be delivered on “a non-partisan basis to a wide range of underserved populations.”
Uh huh
