They’re calling it the most Ella McCay thinktank of all time

“The site publishes in the name of the Hanover Institute for Public Policy, which apparently does not exist as a legal entity in any jurisdiction, has no physical address, and carries no named staff and no bylines on any of its reports. Its own terms of use are governed by the laws of “the state in which the Institute is established”, which they decline to name.”

Thinking about this moron today

Bluesky user Aaron van Dorn: "I think that we need to come to terms with the fact that the Epstein stuff didn't matter at all to Trump's popularity, but it did foster further conspiracism and provided a stalking horse for the exploding antisemitism on the left.

The juice was not worth the squeeze."

Hoo boy I feel like the part about non-confirmed Trump appointee demanding exigent real-time warrantless surveillance of a major political enemy who is also a former senior official should be getting more attention! Nobody is outside the surveillance state

"The filing offers more detail into the lengths law enforcement agencies went to pursue Mr. Comey hours after he shared, then deleted, his post. Earlier reporting by The New York Times described how the Secret Service spoke to Mr. Comey on the phone, trailed him as he drove from a vacation home in North Carolina to Virginia, and asked his cellphone service provider to give the authorities real-time tracking information about his location.

One Secret Service message cited in the filing from that day said that “the # 3 guy at DOJ ‘wanted to ping the cellphone’” of Mr. Comey using an exigent circumstances request, referring to a legal process typically deployed in fast-moving emergency investigations where court orders may take too long because someone could be in danger."

Hey uh what the actual fuck

At one point in the meeting, the report said, one U.S. official made mention of the Avignon Papacy of the 14th century. During this time, the French Crown used its military power to influence the papacy.

Some would say that this is perhaps the literal opposite of the proper ethics consideration for something like this, but what do I know

The 1,000 initial recruits would be managed by roughly 100 experienced employees of large tech companies brought specially into government, Kupor said. He added the government was “working through ethics issues” to make sure that those who were seconded to the federal agencies would not have to sacrifice stock options or other forms of compensation.

I have been waiting for a sufficient follow-up to one of my favorite memes of all time from 2016 and we might be close

Tweet from November 2016 that reads: “These subject lines from Trump emails sound like an absolute fire Dashboard Confessional tracklist.” Subject lines include “Crooked,” “Last Chance,” “Losing Sleep,” “Can’t Trust Her,” “Final Stretch - I’m Counting On You,” and “Memo from Kellyanne”

ICE official confirms agents in PR can use incredibly broad judgment to detain anyone suspected of being illegal, including "you were standing next to an illegal." And that U.S. citizens can be detained for evaluation if you aren't carrying explicit proof of citizenship. Horrifying, unacceptable

NPR: What about a citizen?

González-Ramos: I've never detained a citizen here. If it's a citizen, it's a citizen.

NPR: What is the agent using to decide whether enough suspicion exists to detain someone?

González-Ramos: The agent can justify his acts by different means. Reasonable suspicion. They had identified an individual that didn't have status right next to them. But those persons are not being detained. A person is being asked questions about their nationality. When you're detained is when I put the cuffs on and I put you in the van and I transport you to the facility to process you. And if you tell me you do have status, those are the first individuals that we're going to make sure that we check in the system so we can release them. We don't want to detain anyone that has a legal status in the U.S.

NPR: But you're acknowledging that you are doing that, because if they've made it to the facility, you're checking them out there, not in the street.

González-Ramos: Yeah. I have to transport you because you don't have your documents with you. There's no other way for me to determine that unless I check the system and I run your fingerprints.

I don't know how to explain this to people who don't care about fed govt hiring, but this is really, really bad. Will destroy federal employment for the rest of our lives, and I have no confidence in the next Democrat admin undoing this.

This tweet made me laugh so much that I started listening to a lot of classic R&B and honestly it’s great

Tweet reading “I was raised on silk shirt rnb so all that incel shit never hit for me, I believe in beggin for the pussy. Outside in the rain, crying, throwing up, just for a sniff. That’s your role as a man”
