I saw an Instagram reel where people had installed a movie theatre-type soda machine in their home and they walked you through the cost which was thousands of dollars and the only two sodas it dispensed was Diet Coke and Diet Doctor Pepper so I think their assets should be seized
Oyer: "2 days after Blanche was confirmed as deputy AG, he fired me from my position as DOJ's career pardon attorney. I declined to rubber stamp a favor for a friend of the president, and it cost me my job. Mr Blanche's office had asked me to restore the gun rights of a convicted domestic abuser..."
One thing that seems missing from the sports "debate" is that student athletics are not meant to be training for professional athletes, but for health and social reasons. The only "fairness" govt should protect is everyone having access, not about subsidies for preferred athletes.
"We were friendly" - no, he played you, you absolute idiot whose job is to not fall for this.
What Ivanka & Jared are doing is worse than I thought they are destroying natural wetlands of Albania. The corruption is unpalatable. Ariel Brunner is fighting them tooth & nail and boy oh boy is he angry. As he should be. Ariel Brunner is Europe & Central Asia Director of BirdLife International.
I saw Kushner’s Albania resort up close — it is an environmental disaster
The damage at Vjosa-Narta is not fake news. Bulldozers are tearing into one of Europe’s most precious wetlands.

BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Rep. Lauren Boebert weighs in on the government's release of UFO files, saying aliens are actually "fallen angels and Nephilim" from the Old Testament: "I do believe that this is more spiritual and, if you really want to go there, demonic."
After a trough of relatively less activity, that is fewer people calling me for help, I'm back up to 10 active habeas cases. I do not want to cause anyone undue alarm, but ICE has changed tactics and seems more likely to detain people when they go in for routine appointments with ICE.
The headline says so much... The article outlines so much more. It's a history everyone will benefit by knowing

Sharing, without comment, British newspapers’ depictions of the only Jewish person currently leading a UK political party . Times. Mail. Telegraph. Sun.
Aligning with the political left means that the odds are against you because you choose to side with those historically deprived of power. By definition, that means that defeatism is never an option. The fight continues as it must, across generations. It is good to be part of the fight.
I get that part of the Hasan Piker discourse is “would it hurt Democrats to go on his stream, etc.” Look, I’ve no knowledge or opinion about his content but the Sunday shows are 1000% more cancerous than anything a Twitch streamer has concocted so hold them accountable for that.
men can’t understand what it’s like for women to see story after story after story of women being victims of sexual violence in a culture where it’s routine; what it’s like to live in a world that is fundamentally hostile to our existence. it’s a wonder we leave the fucking house, let alone thrive.
Now any white man promoted has to be considered suspect because he may well have taken the place of a more qualified black or female officer personally removed from the promotion list by Hegseth.
NBC News@nbcnews.com · 6mo agoNEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process.
A number of Jewish organizations are shrilly insisting that any criticism of Israeli genocide and warmongering is an illegitimate attack on Jews. At the same time, an increasing number of non-Jewish people are insisting that any attack on Jews is a legitimate attack on Israel. This sucks, man
