Remember that Donald Trump, Jr. is involved with both Polymarket & Kalshi โ€” and the Trumpsโ€™ social media company is launching its own prediction market.

Meanwhile, Trumpโ€™s regulators have announced they will fight any state that attempts to regulate prediction markets.

Always follow the money.

Yes itโ€™s Valentineโ€™s Day. But itโ€™s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

This entire answer from Mike Johnson โ€” the speaker of the House and a lawyer โ€” must be seen.

It is fundamentally wrong on both points: as to administrative warrants (which need not be signed by immigration judges) and as to judicial warrants (which are not "new" for authorizing home entry).

He was then flown to the Ice facility in El Paso, Texas.

He said he has been locked in the same large, cold and damp room for 4ยฝ months with more than 70 men. He said detainees are constantly hungry because meals served at tables in the centre of the room offer only child-sized portions. Fights often break out over food, โ€œeven over those little child-sized juice containersโ€. Toilet areas are โ€œfilthyโ€.

He said there is little to do but lie on a bed all day. Most detainees do not speak any English. He said he has been allowed outside for air and exercise fewer than a dozen times in nearly five months. The atmosphere is full of โ€œanxiety and depressionโ€, he said.

The government says the people being deported are violent criminals, and they treat them inhumanely. But mostly they are subjecting ordinary people to extraordinary punishments.

Minnesota is grieving. But weโ€™re resolved. The support weโ€™ve received from across the country has energized us, and given us hope.

Itโ€™s time for the federal government to draw down their forces and let us get back to allowing freedom, opportunity, and security โ€“ for everyone.

I donโ€™t want better point of view videos of people being brutalized, I want those people to not have jobs. The brutal agency to be abolished. Their victims released. Criminal charges against everyone who brutally assaulted our communities. Better video means more funding and crimes

you should not share a post that's a screenshot without a link to a news item. you should not share a post that's a video or picture without some kind of sourcing. we're in a new bad era and these are now basic practices.

... also photogs and journos gotta eat so share their work.
