Very cool. Harpur was owner of Harpur’s Arabian and other important influences on the origin of the thoroughbred. Do you have the date of the newspaper notice?

NEW: It’s 5 p.m. ET, and DOJ is officially late on its first daily court-mandated report on the status of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. But! Abrego Garcia's attorneys have just asked Judge Xinis to order the govt to take these specific steps to return him:

The Social Security website continues to experience frequent crashes as Musk pushes for cuts to the agency’s IT staff. Americans face chronic outages and login issues while trying to access their accounts—despite being urged to conduct more of their Social Security business online.

Restaurants are so called because the first restaurateurs served "restorative bouillons" (their patrons were the bone-broth aficionados of the eighteenth century). It's very hard to get rich in the restaurant business. This still made me laugh. From an anonymous account (I Louvre Art Memes) on FB.

A win for truth and history: A National Park Service page(removed by Musk) on the Underground Railroad has been restored to prominently feature Harriet Tubman, after her image and quote were removed earlier this year. Now, her legacy as a fearless champion for freedom has rightfully been restored. ✊

You can probably trace this back to the Nixon pardon, the post-2008 "Too big to jail" decline in white collar prosecutions, and of course more recently the half hearted Trump prosecution. These are fundamentally political, not legal problems

The govt’s admission, in the Abrego Garcia case in Md, that it mistakenly removed him to El Salvador despite protective status, may reverberate in the Alien Enemies Act case, where plaintiffs allege that many with open asylum cases were wrongfully removed. 1/7

the people who wanted "everything run like a business" also transformed how businesses were run, and it broke those too. (they transformed businesses into the idiot share-price maximizers of pathetically stylized economic models, which is not how most businesses actually functioned before 1970!)

Elon Musk’s staffers visited the U.S. Institute of Peace, accompanied by two FBI agents. They were met at the door by a lawyer who informed them that the institute holds “private and independent status as a non-executive branch agency.” Following this, the staffers left.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.
