Something like that. I'm also curious to hear who'll staff the resorts and, more importantly, why they think a place that'll take decades to clean up will be an attractive place to vacation when people can just go to Greece, Cyprus or elsewhere and not have to be beneficiaries of ethnic cleansing

This does nothing to help with the actual celebrating of the holiday though since you can’t drink because you have to work that night.

When I worked 3rd shifts, you’d get the night before off so you wouldn’t be tired during the day of the holiday

Well this doesn't raise any questions at all, and given Giuliani's history of upstanding transparency, I'm sure there won't be any questions in the future either.

Every single thing, EVERY SINGLE THING, that RFK has done was predictable and predicted. He is doing what every other fascist eugenicist has done before him. The disability community has been warning about this for YEARS. It is not in any way shape or form mysterious and unknowable.

Judge Sooknanan to Ensign: "This is why we have process. This is why we have courts." Then she says that she also took the opportunity to look at the provision that Ensign cited. "I'm pretty skeptical that it gives the government the authority to do what you are claiming it does," she says.

Sooknanan then says that she had an opportunity during the break to read some of the declarations filed by the named plaintiffs. She wants to read from them because they underscore the conflicting information she's received from the government about the children they want to remove.

Congestion pricing is actually the perfect example here. Trump declared that “congestion pricing is dead” (and that he is the king) Hochul and the MTA told him to fuck off, and now, more than 6 months later, congestion pricing is still alive and working exactly as planned

If Dems want to win over the Midwest they need to lean in heavy on “people from coastal ‘away’ are telling you how to conduct yourselves”. They need to fuel the jealousy & spite that the Midwest has for “coastal elites” b/c the secret is that those feelings trump everything, even MAGA

The plan is completely illegal; it’s openly in violation of black letter law. Nevertheless, the Trump admin is trying to claim that the budget bill effectively amended the law; even though it was a budget bill, and cannot by definition amend the law.
