Excuse my ignorance, but if Todd Blanche is confirmed, couldn’t he just issue a new memo under a slightly different framework that still gives Trump the slush fund and the immunity he wanted? We can’t trust these people.

I feel like if a company is willing to spend $3.6M on political donations to try to roll back food regulation to before The Jungle came out, their taxes are at least $3.6M too low.

Is prioritizing human intelligence over artificial intelligence the key to addressing societal issues?

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.
Overland couple shot dead in Guatemala after local ICE stop led to deportations
The couple’s 14-month-old daughter was found crying beside her mother’s body in a sugarcane field last week, according to Guatemalan authorities and media.

Superb and horrifying column: The “inhumane mass deportation policy … has become a mindless and lawless machine of evil banality … sweeping up all kinds of refugees to fill its gulag detention quota” and permanently destroying the U.S. legacy as a safe place for the world's stateless dissidents.

Reduce the huge bonuses given to Wall Street folks, tax the rich, elect Democratic Socialists, add universal health care, reinstate environmental controls, support a green agenda, eliminate the school voucher system … What would you do to make America a society & country people respected again?
#ProudBlue #Defend #MoneyMatters I hope school administrators, teachers & aides, supported by social workers & an army of other people take on the Trump Regime on this plan. Education is valuable. A major doesn’t determine your future earnings. Graduate students will fail their test, Buzz is right!

The human brain, with 86 billion neurons and a million billion connections between them, runs on 20 watts, less than a lightbulb. Think we may be going down the wrong road believing data centres, needing megawatts or gigawatts of power, with all the environmental & climate costs, are the way to go.
