Immigrants have always been part of America's story of innovation and growth. Treating them as a threat may be good politics for some, but it's lousy economics for everyone. https://newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/from-the-gilded-age-to-ai-a-conversation

“For years to come, there are many people on the right, in the media, and voters at large who are going to have to explain and justify how they fell into the trap of supporting Donald Trump.” — Marco Rubio, 2016

The red card against Balogun was a bad call, but given the apparently corrupt circumstances under which it was suspended, the only ethical choice is for Balogun to voluntarily sit the match out. If he plays there will always be an asterisk not only on his performance, but on that of the whole team's

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.
