Mullin: Saying there have been many ICE involved shootings is absolutely false. You guys don't cover all our other arrests, just these ones

(There have been at least 25 shootings involving immigration officers in Trump's second term)

It's just like Marlon Humphrey to organize a high-profile visit with Donald Trump, then talk about how he's never voted.

Humphrey didn't go meet Trump to express his political values. He went because he's a shameless clout-chaser.

I am a member of the Supreme Court Bar. I find it absolutely ridiculous that we cannot watch their proceedings.

I can tell you it is likely because of the poor behavior (dozing, ignoring advocates, chatting with staff) some justices demonstrate while on the bench.

"A banana republic is a politically and economically unstable country which is typically controlled by a small, corrupt ruling class and exploited by foreign corporations.
A tiny, wealthy elite or military junta holds power and profits, while a large, impoverished working class performs the labor."

Wait… it gets better.

The SEC charged them both in a corruption scheme that involved hyping and taking orders for tech *that didn’t exist*, and Paxton was paid with free shares in exchange for recruiting new rubes to keep the Ponzi scheme going.

I think in reality what socialism actually means in the American context is that trillionaire Elon Musk got $38 billion from the U.S. government and you got rejected trying to buy a $1 soda on SNAP benefits.
Q: How do you define socialism personally?

JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports
