🚨NEW: Declarations filed in the lawsuit against the rushed attempt to deport 600 Guatemalan children reveals the chaotic way the Trump admin carried out the operation. Children were taken out of bed after midnight to be rushed onto planes. One girl "was so scared she vomited."

7. At all of the shelters visited in the middle of the night, ProBAR staff witnessed children who had been pulled out of their beds. They were confused and scared. At Hands of Healing Los Fresnos, one young girl was extremely distraught, crying and repeatedly saying that she could not go back to Guatemala. At New Hope McAllen, one young girl was so scared that she vomited and asked to speak with a clinician. At Urban Strategies Alamo, one young teenager was scared that he might end up murdered like one of his family members. At Compass Connection in Harlingen, an attorney was able to meet with only one child. None of these children’s parents in their home country had requested their return. ProBAR’s client and named Plaintiff ARMD was at Compass Connection, but he was transported to a plane without notifying me as his attorney of record.

The irony here is that it was not until the late 1930s that people in the US began describing the country as based on "Judeo-Christian values." Anti-fascist Jews were often the ones promoting that invented "heritage," hoping to staunch the rise of far right populist Christian nationalism in the US.

Don’t think it’s murky at all. Looks like a classic case of Giuliani deciding to engage in some sudden ā€œrubber neckingā€ with the driver behind traveling too closely to avoid ramming into Giuliani’s Ford Bronco.

What happens when it turns into a buyers market? Credit spreads will widen and these same wealthy ā€œinvestorsā€ will be underwater, just like they were in 2008. /3

OK, OK the non Wall Street translation: The same crowd that poured hundreds of billions into sub-prime mortgages in 2007-08 is now pouring money into illiquid Private Credit at a time when credit securities are trading with extremely tight bid/ask spreads - it’s a seller’s market today. /2

I would think @apnews.com would believe the NH State police over Ruby's hired flack, but I guess that's too much to ask for these days. www.nhsp.dos.nh.gov/news-and-med...

CEOs are trying to convince you that quiet quitting is worse than wage theft, while they plan on replacing you with a robot. Unions know better. Happy Labor Day Weekend.

I’ve heard wall streeters are buying up the tariff refund rights from importers as speculative investments.

So, here's my take based on the police report: Rudy ordered his driver to slow down to engage in some "rubber necking" of the troopers addressing the domestic violence incident. The driver behind failed to respond quickly enough to the sudden slow down and rammed into Giuliani's car.

FWIW here is the NH State police account. Rudy had no involvement in the domestic violence incident. www.nhsp.dos.nh.gov/news-and-med...

My brother-in-law stopped by returning from a trip to Norway. Verdict? Loved it! Asked him about Oslo and he gave it a šŸ‘. Reason I asked is I took a psychological test years ago to match people up with what cities they would be most happy living in. To my surprise my result came back Oslo.

Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.

Tweet from Joshua J. Friedman: Plaintiffs: No. Possible some children might be in that situation, but everything we could find on short notice is children not in this situation. Judge: Mr. Ensign you saying that *all* these children have parents who are requesting their return to Guatemala? DOJ: That's what I've been told Tweet from Joshua J. Friedman: Judge: During recess, I read provision you cited and then the complaint. Every one of 10 named plaintiffs says they are *afraid* of being sent back to Guatemala. (Reads aloud from declarations.) Doesn't line up with what govt is saying. This is why we have courts.
