“This case, ladies and gentleman of the jury, is about a sandwich.” Closing arguments from the defense in the DC sandwich guy case are now underway.

Going thru the elements of the crime. Looking at the 6 magic verbs now, and the one even more magic adverb: forcibly. “Here we have the defendant throwing — it’s a sandwich, but throwing it hard.”

Mike Johnson: ‘My Christian Faith Is More About Not Jacking Off Than Feeding The Poor’

AI cannot be trusted to provide information that does not need to be fact checked. It cannot write a good joke. It can't write anything better than B- level prose. However, it's great to yell at.

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

A 2020 study found that Amazon—which shares owner Jeff Bezos with The Washington Post—is one of the largest employers of people on SNAP.

If we stop measuring economic indicators, the economy can't be bad. Sort of like how if you don't check your bank account after a big weekend, you can't be overdrawn. It's called economics, and if any of you were smart enough to attend Wharton, you'd know it too

Around Chicago ICE/Border Patrol are mostly just driving around looking for landscaping crews. It’s not targeted by threat or criminal background. It’s just Kavanaugh sweeps of brown men in work clothes operating landscaping equipment to hit quotas. They’re not investigating, they’re hunting

When I lived in Mexico City as a teenager, it was well understood that conspicuous security was a status symbol, like wearing a Richard Mille or driving a Lamborghini. The truly extravagantly wealthy had professional, discreet security teams, but the mere millionaires favored gaudy, visible guaruras

This is why you don't pick a Secretary of Transportation who is from a town that is more than 100 miles from the nearest international airport.

this is blood libel gutter racism of the kind that you only encounter if you or your staff are spending a lot of time in online spaces that are avowedly white supremacist

WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "I’m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

who could have seen this coming

if he hates non-English speakers so much then why the FUCK can't he stay away from California

Just found out that the Dr who delivered both of my babies, who I've been seeing for the last 7 years, has decided to stop taking ANY insurance at all. Cash price only. But the cash price is like...comparable to what I was paying out of pocket from my insurance, and I can use HSA funds to pay for it

being a stubborn old man who would rather get colon cancer than sub in ground turkey is going to become a class signifier by q2 of 2026

i had to get an MRI when i was pregnant because they thought there might be something catastrophically wrong with the baby (there wasn't) and the MRI tech told me that a lot of people are too big for standard MRI machines and have to get scanned at the zoo. anyway just thinking about that.

there are enough people who are completely blinded by racism and sexism that they'd rather have a swiss cheese-brained dictator who would do war crimes on americans than a president who is a black woman

oh jesus

"focus less on abortion" is a crazy take. it's something that you can do if you don't have a body that's being fought over by the state-- eg: women beyond their reproductive years, v wealthy women in their reproductive years (though they're kidding themselves if they think they're exempt) and men.

For the record, $130 million is almost literally a tiny drop in the bucket. The U.S. military payroll biweekly is some $23 billion (the latest budget request is $600 billion). This ostensible gift amounts to a bit more than 0.5% of the biweekly payroll.

i like that we know the ICE fitness standards now because now we all know exactly how fast we need to be able to run to be just slightly faster than any given ICE agent. a useable training goal

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/
