“Extreme”? It’s extreme to *not* have tax inheritances and gifts worth more than Sfr50mn ($61mn)

Oh wow I didn’t realize how central IMLS has been to that. Just reading an article about it now

No! Why?? Funding?

Exactly. Pick up the phone. Newsom would take his call

Opinion | The Abundance Agenda Has Its Own Theory of Power

I would humbly request anyone saying Abundance is bad to base their criticism on something actually in this article instead of way-too-online free associative beefs.

You’re arguing with a bot, my friend

Wow

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

This is at least half of the value proposition for any international student seeking any US post-secondary degree. It will cause international applications to crater, nationally, and the hardest hit schools will be tuition-driven public universities that get minimal state support, often ~15% or less

Priest was ultimately accepted into the study, alongside about thirty other religious leaders, including a Catholic priest, a Baptist Biblical scholar, several rabbis, an Islamic leader, and a Zen Buddhist roshi. (The joke about walking into a bar almost writes itself.) Priest was one of four Episcopalians. The final sample, like the demographics of the study team, skewed white (ninety-seven per cent), Christian (seventy-six per cent), and male (sixty-nine per cent). Recruitment, through ads and direct outreach to religious communities, proved difficult, especially for religions such as Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism; religious proscriptions against mind-altering substances may have played a role. Finding willing rabbis, however, was easy—the challenge was finding ones who were “psychedelically naïve.”

buried lede in this article about what happens when you give a bunch of religious leaders mushrooms and an Enya playlist is that they had a hard time finding rabbi volunteers who weren't already pretty cool www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

This is an astoundingly good interview. The LA Port Director explains very clearly how profoundly trade is coming to a screeching halt. This summer will be tough.

Sorry, I don’t speak Russian bot

You should try reading a newspaper sometime, buddy

Tbh this is basic federalism. Sanctuary cities aren’t breaking the law because the federal government can’t force states or cities to enforce federal immigration laws. Federal agencies have to handle enforcement on their own. See the 1997 Supreme Court decision in Printz v. United States

“First they came for the pulmonologists, but I said nothing because I couldn’t remember what kind of medicine that was, and I didn’t want to come off as poorly informed.”

Lawyer for U-M protester detained at airport after spring break trip with family Dearborn lawyer says feds tried to seize his cellphone at Detroit Metro Airport as he returned from spring break trip with his family.

“While in the interrogation room, Makled said, a man in plain clothes entered and began speaking to him. He said he recalls the man telling him: ‘We know you're a lawyer. We know you take on big cases.’”

So too do we all agree with the per curiam’s command that the Fifth Amendment requires the Government to afford plaintiffs “notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal under the Act, . . . within reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs.” Ante, at 3. That means, of course, that the Government cannot usher any detainees, including plaintiffs, onto planes in a shroud of secrecy, as it did on March 15, 2025. Nor can the Government “immediately resume” removing individuals without notice upon vacatur of the TRO, as it promised the D. C. Circuit it would do. See 2025 WL 914682, *13 (Millett, J., concurring) (referencing oral argument before that court). To the extent the Government removes even one individual without affording him notice and a meaningful opportunity to file and pursue habeas relief, it does so in direct contravention of an edict by the United States Supreme Court.

Picking up on this point, Justice Sotomayor writes in dissent:

"To the extent the Government removes even one individual without affording him notice and a meaningful opportunity to file and pursue habeas relief, it does so in direct contravention of an edict by the United States Supreme Court. "

Yep. He’s no longer an American billionaire.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Googled you. Yeah… disappointing how few libertarians are screaming from the rooftops. Weird how many of your ilk turned out to be statists all along.

Thanks for not being among them.

A visa is a _travel document_ that allows its bearer to come to the US port of entry to apply for admission in some status. That's it. It doesn't guarantee that admission. And it is not required to be valid at any time other than entry. 3/

I’ve never heard this term “garden path sentence” but this just popped up on my IG feed. Seems to fit here!

They’re using “furious” as an adjective to describe the judge?

Yes. They misread decades of support by Evangelicals for Catholic SCOTUS nominees.
