When Trump launched “the largest deportation operation in the history of our country” without ICE facilities to accommodate it, inhumane overcrowding was inevitable. Judge Kaplan’s 9/24 ruling shows the results. Diagrams simulating a NYC holding cell in Aug 2025 look like slave ships.

Which Toby Young is that - the one who was infamously sexist and misogynistic, homophobic and disablist?
Publicly commenting on MPs’ breasts?
Described as having “repellent” views?
Can I describe him as a nasty, privileged nepo-baby, bald 4-eyed retarded wanker with small penis energy?

And Toby Young will lead a commission looking at how to "end the institutional self-censorship that stops people from doing the right thing". Not 100% sure what that means.

Glad 60 Minutes is doing a Jacob Wohl story literally nine years after I reported on that guy. One time he was pretending a scam website he was running wasn't his, so I called the number on the website and it went to his mom's voicemail. Jacob is like training wheels for investigative journalists.

Seems the difference between ‘protestors’ and ‘terrorists’ is that protestors wear balaclavas while terrorists hold placards.

Note that the statement of agreed upon facts in David Morens’ plea deal demonstrates that he categorically rejected the COVID-19 lab leak theory as “anti-science” at the time of this supposed “conspiracy.”
Also, the big gift he accepted supposedly to defraud the U.S.? 2 wine bottles…~$40-50 ea.
