So, there are a few of scenarios here:

1. They knowingly sent this to her and intend to follow through (least likely IMO)
2. They knowingly sent this in an attempt to scare an immigration attorney (somewhat likely)
3. They accidentally sent this because they are negligently sending these notices without any checks or due process (most likely)

The most likely option, while less scary than #1 and #2 is still supremely frightening. They are simply removing due process from the process. It is just a process now without any due diligence involved.

I'm not sure that Elon is feeling that much pain. His investors are, but he's so rich he barely notices. That, or it might be the ketamine.

So, the teriffs will also cause Amazon deforestation to accelerate as land is clear cut to grow soy beans.

I don't think that's it. I think that this article is missing the point. Trump is manipulating the market in the most blatant of ways. He is intentionally crashing the market, telling people who listen to him when to sell and when to buy, then recinding the order that crashed the market.

He literally posted on truth social today to say that it is a great time to buy. Then, four hours later he rescinded the teriffs.

He is not caving to Wall Street. He is aiding insider trading at the largest scale ever seen.

Trump doesn't give a shit about anyone but him. They just cut $55M intended to fund training for rural teachers (because who wants educated educators?) and now he wants to spend more than that on a mile long military parade celebrating his birthday. And it's not even a milestone birthday, just a birthday.

From the article, Trump wanted to do something similar but, presumably smaller, in his first term but backed off after the price tag came to $92M. He instead opted for an event that ONLY cost $13M. How much do you think this one will cost? What will get cut to fund it?

Fucking narcissistic traitor... He'll probably figure out how to grift a few tens of millions from this by selling tickets, too.

Sorry, the hostility wasn't really aed at you. It was more intended to be aimed at the media. I'm just a little tired of people believing that protests weren't happening before now. They were happening but the media wasn't covering them.

Finally what? Finally the media is covering the protests that have been going on the entire time? They're growing but they weren't small even a month or two ago.

Jesus... Are the prices low due to the interest rate? Or is all property owned by people who can buy cash?

Nearly 26.6 million people in the U.S. rely on UnitedHealthcare Employer & Individual through insured and self-funded plans. In addition, we serve more than 7.5 million people with care and benefits services outside of the United States.

Rather than hundreds to thousands, I'm going to go with thousands to tens of thousands.

I don't think that's the point. The point is that Pete is sharing classified information with someone who doesn't have clearances. "Who knows who she shared it with afterwards" is an indictment of Pete's decision making and criminality, not an indictment of his wife. She could bear some responsibility, though, if she knowingly spread classified information after receiving it. But that is definitely the secondary point here.

Soon, Mike Johnson will bringing his son to classified congressional briefings to make absolutely sure they don't miss any of one another's porn usage.

Gun lovers who don't even know the difference between "shot" and "shoot".

FWIW the US is claiming that the researcher had confidential information from Los Alamos National Labs against the terms of his NDA. They claim the researcher admitted to taking the information and attempting to conceal it.

I honestly hope this is the explanation. If we're starting to deny entry to the country simply due to criticisms of domestic policy decisions, we're going down yet another dark path.

Oh, come on, they're both on drugs.

It seems like displaying an ad at a stop light would be a safety issue since it makes it so you can onky look at the screen while moving.

You know, I was annoyed by that when I had to pay for an out-of-warranty update but now I'm pretty happy that my car is one year too old for automatic updates.

I agree, but I do wonder how many additional companies have quietly "donated" by buying up his meme coin.

The vaccine isn't 100% effective. If we inject him enough times, he'll get measles eventually.

It's in their contract that the results of a polygraph are grounds for dismissal alone. They have no grounds to sue.

As a Coloradan, I agree. Also, New Mexico and Virginia. Probably should also leave PA to Jesus Land.
