Baghdad Don
Who didn’t see this happening?
“.. off limits to the public.”
But Baghdad Don said…
“In the last five days of September alone, the department blew through $50.1 billion on just grants and contracts.”
“…including $2 million for Alaskan king crab and $6.9 million worth of lobster tail.”
Yes
Brilliant
This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

“Pluralism is a lie.” - Member of the party of Abraham Lincoln
Democracy itself has become a partisan issue. As of right now, the Democratic Party is the country’s sole (small-d) democratic party – while the GOP is firmly in the hands of an ethno-nationalist movement and oligarchic interests determined to impose their reactionary vision.

von der Leyen: “We will always defend and uphold the rules-based system that we helped to build with our allies, but we can no longer rely on it as the only way to defend our interests.”
“…the 339 people killed in Israel’s opportunistic invasion of Lebanon are even more invisible than the 1,332 in Iran.”
“Our government is treating the suffering of the Iranian people as a backdrop for our own entertainment, as if it's just another piece of content to be swiped through while we're waiting in line at the grocery store. But, in the end, we lose our humanity…”
The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.
Trump doesn’t want Americans to know they’re in danger because he’ll look bad.
Trump is intentionally making your life more expensive. Where are the journalists who staked out grocery store parking lots when Biden was President to ask Americans about the high cost of food (which he had nothing to do with!) now?
Now, just waiting to find out that the target was selected by Anthropic.
These are war crimes, violations of the Geneva Conventions.
Increasingly I think we should turn the whole Trump cabinet over to the ICC to be tried at The Hague.
“We have seen arguably the worst friendly fire incident in modern US history, the worst articulations of war aims, the worst economic/industrial preparations for a war, and, tragically, what might very well be amongst the worst war crimes in US history.“
Quick question does anyone know how to restore virtue to a decaying society
The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Whoa. Buying now.
The entire executive branch is engaged in one massive coverup after another.
Remember the outrage when Michelle Obama wanted us to eat healthier? 🤦♂️
Despite the lies the President and his administration want to tell, you can see and hear what happened for yourself when ICE ran rogue in our state.
No one is above the law — the Illinois Accountability Commission will hold them responsible.
The glibness and arrogance of this administration when briefing the American people about matters of life and death is unbelievably astounding.
