I don't like "homeland", but standalone capital H "Homeland" (not used in the proper agency name) is setting off all sorts of extra alarms.

“illegals” aren’t stealing your house but they sure as hell are building the housing we so desperately need to bring housing prices down

Student journalists: Want a hands on opportunity to learn government and political journalism alongside a crew of veteran reporters, diving into the machinations of a key swing state? Then apply to the Pennsylvania Legislative Correspondents' Association internship!

Abusive spouses like this one weird trick.

In case Sundar Pichai attending the inauguration or Alphabet donating to the vanity ballroom weren't confirmation enough of that already.

I understand this framing makes this egregious in the eyes of even more people, but whether you're a US citizen should have no bearing on whether the government is deploying chemical weapons against you. It should be irrelevant. (Criticism of piece not poster)

Yes the Senate impeachment power is totally a real thing and not just made up for political messaging and/or intimidating judges.

Easy opportunity for any journalist speaking to any immigration official of the US government: Ask, “Can you please define the term, ‘remigration’?”

I'll have to dive into this later. Are they still requiring US applicants to apply via fax? If I remember correctly, that's how Trump used to unlawfully discriminate against US workers.

There's a difference between mandatory detention being illegal and detention being illegal. To be sure, there's a lot of illegal detention going on, but here it's the mandate that's illegal, not the detention: They are wrong that they must detain her, not that they can detain her.

Faster just to state the reasons he shouldn't. Let me know if anyone thinks of one.

This is what never made sense to me. Why are they doing this instead of just subpoenaing the files and entering them into the Congressional Record? That requires one chamber only, not the other, not the President and not a supermajority.

For what it's worth, the Mint gets lost in the middle of a lot of important buildings, but it's a fun tour. Normally, you'd then go around the corner and toss pennies at Benjamin Franklin, but I guess he's getting a raise now.

He doesn't know the half of it. I've been operating at about 15 percent of capacity on tormenting Frankenstein Von Papen here.

This is begging the question. You can't claim that funding legal services for proceedings to determine whether people are deportable is illegal because it's funding people who are deportable.

Defending them from Mom and/or Dad being home for the holidays?

I've managed to avoid it all but once in 13 years (even the once was eight years ago). I can certainly make it to 2029 and probably quite a ways beyond if I have to.

@people.com doing God's work while too many outlets act like, "Well, the voters asked for this, so there has to be two sides to gassing children."

Connecticut for McCormick for Fetterman Party

But when I said we should break the filibuster by attaching a rider that appropriated $1B to Joe Manchin personally, I was told it was unseemly.

When they go low, we step on them like ants.

Who gets tapped as the caretaker interim Senator if this did happen 🤞🏻? Probably not someone who would run in the special election, I'd think.

To their credit, most immigration lawyers I know need more help with stopping pro bono work (or at least, not trying to help everyone all the time and burning out completely).

ICE in ghoul masks.

Are they going to bomb Amazon?

The "public charge" exclusion originates in the colonial era and was replicated in US immigration law when the law federalized + nationalized in 1888. It was unevenly applied & gave broad discretion of front line officials. For more, see my forthcoming book. In the interim...

[reading from notebook] "You can now pay your deductible with a suspected immigrant you turn in. Is that something?"

Some geriatric Democrat will probably drop dead again to prevent that.

Looks like Pennsylvania Democrats got the surrender memo.

This is presumably what happens. Everyone now gets their food money, attached to a reminder that it comes as a personal gift from the President in celebration for having slain the evil Democrats. Perhaps they could switch to a scrip with his face on it.

They'll make noise but then fall in line when it happens. Source: the last time they changed the lottery illegally and business fell in line and did nothing.

So I _could_ have sold my vote after all. A Pennsylvania vote could have made me a decent profit. (Note: in Pennsylvania you can vote for electors directly and those votes are aggregated with the votes they get from the votes for President by proxy)

These politicians aren't in disarray. They fucking hate you. They don't work for you.

He means he's fighting for these things to happen, I assume.

I don't even think it's this. Do they care about other travelers (except the Nevada Senators, *maybe*)? I think they (or a substantial number) sold everyone out because they were worried about _their own flights_, nothing more.

Stop Senate Gang Violence

Lyndon Johnson would have beaten members of his own caucus to death for less than Schumer lets happen on an average week.

"The cavers aren't vulnerable because they're retiring or otherwise safe" doesn't really matter. Let them know you're punishing Dem colleagues that aren't safe and it's their fault.

Breaking: Senate Democrats have reached a deal for me to not bother voting anymore.

I am represented by Fetterman (D-Israel) and McCormick (R-Conn.) so calling is pointless.

They learned that lesson back after the Democrats' March cave, and then the summer happened.

Someone needs to explain to me how not being able to travel for Thanksgiving is remotely comparable to the other two.

You can only eat if you do exactly what Republicans want is where we are?

Some good news is I already didn't have to vote for a US Senator next year, so while this would have made me boycott the election, it can't. No promises about 2028 though.

Get ready for everyone to retroactively blame Democrats for causing all this pain for nothing.

Much as with immigration judges, we should be very concerned that the solution to everything is to use the military for it, qualifications be damned.

We never should have started putting Presidents on money, even dead ones. It's monarchical, un-American and clearly leads to the least President claiming the honor not even the greatest should have had. The country does not want for patriotic symbols we could use instead.

This is one of the more frequent misconceptions I come across in my practice: Contrary to popular belief, all immigrants are not psychically connected to each other.

Banning public prayer huh. That’s certainly a choice…

Pittsburghers seem like the least likely to buy this anyway. If you want to trick people into thinking you grew up like you were the steelworker in Flashdance, you tell outsiders who don't know better. You don't tell the people who know you grew up in a Squirrel Hill mansion.
