"Subject has no criminal history.". Fuckers.

At this point, most school shootings occur on the anniversary of some other school shooting ...

"Aggressive response", lol. Moron-in-chief is threatening to annex their country!

The administration was not only keeping the AP out of the press pool — the daily rotating group of reporters who get access to Trump in tight spaces that cannot accommodate the entire press corps — but removing the permanent “wire service” spot as well. That means there will no longer be a spot guaranteed for one of the wire services: the AP, Reuters and Bloomberg.

I have a friend who has to keep going in there to re-correct bad data and bad relationships that people keep re-adding. They think they're helping, but they're not, they're just contaminating the data and the site keeps letting them do so.

Guess that explains the videos of doordash drivers stealing deliveries and stuff ...

I tried to prevent this, and I'm fine with the damage this is doing / going to do. I don't blame anyone who decides not to come to the States, wants to buy non-American products and services, wants to divest from US stocks and bonds. I wouldn't trust us, either.

We've already seen the creep: first it was violent illegal immigrants, then it was any illegal immigrants, then it was immigrants waiting for due process on their case, then it was green card holders - not necessarily a lot of them, but enough to establish precedents and see how far they can get.

Now they're saying "violent US citizen-criminals" - but they run the state that determines whether you're a criminal and how violent your crimes was. Remember all those videos of non-resisting people being screened at by the cops "Stop resisting!"; remember bills in Florida and other states to label trans people sex offenders - that's what we're up against. Any resistance or non-conformity can and likely will be punished.

"First they came for ... "

The first agencies he targeted were all the ones investigating his companies or limiting his companies: DoD was trying to limit exposure through SpaceX due to Musk's multiple conversations with Putin; the NLRB was investigating both SpaceX and Tesla; the EEOC was suing Tesla; DoT was investigating Tesla over both Smart Summoning and "Full-Self Driving" accidents; the FAA called for both 'radical reform' and Musk's firing at SpaceX after repeated launch violations; the FEC was investigating him for repeated elections violations; DoJ had an open lawsuit over SpaceX hiring practices (now dismissed, and anti-Tesla actions are now "domestic terrorism"); the SEC had an open complaint of his Xitter takeover; the FDA was limiting his ability to pay around with NeuraLink; the EPA has repeatedly fined bitch SpaceX and Tesla; he's been pressuring NASA to retire the ISS and to use SpaceX for Mars exploration instead of their own craft; and the CFPB had limited his plans for a Xitter-based electronic payment system.

While they haven't always received a lot of press coverage, he's sent his goons after every single one of those agencies.

I think gutting the government and sowing chaos is part of his goal (he's fully bought into Zuckerberg's "move fast and break things" mindset), but he went after specific agencies pretty quickly.

His situation: He's currently in high school, with the same people he's been with for years, with settled routines and everyday stresses. There's little there that he hasn't faced before: it's safe to leave him there.

Your situation: once you take time off from school, it takes a lot of effort to go back; even with a full intention to go back, life gets in the way and people will often put it off "for just another year". It's also perfectly valid to not want to go to college, but in that case you should have some other general life plan: "I want to apprentice at this trade" or something.

Assuming that you want to go to college, you should go directly to college; your boyfriend still be safe where he is, and this will give him time in a known environment to explore himself a bit, while you'll have time to settle into college and figure yourself out a bit. You can meet up over the various holidays, and then settle in together at college next year, assuming that's what you both still want.

Recession is decreasing domestic tourism and fascism is killing international tourism. I doubt we'll need the hotel workers for long.

The stock market is a mood ring for rich people.

Because the US government and a large percentage of their people (especially in Florida) suck, because insurance there is becoming unaffordable (and will certainly become even more so under Trump), and because climate change (now set to get Even worse with the current administration dismantling all climate policies and increasing oil and gas pollution and cutting down national forests) will all combine to make living there an absolute hellhole.

has revived long-dormant plans to open a Tesla-themed restaurant in Los Angeles

.... Oh, this can only end well ....

Xinis issued a new order for the government to “take all available steps to facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s return and directed it to provide her with a sworn statement from an individual “with personal knowledge” of the steps the government has taken or is planning to take to secure his return. But attorneys with the Justice Department told the judge on Friday morning that they needed more time to provide the sworn declaration, blowing past two deadlines she gave the department to file it.

This is the same reason Trump's lawyers refused to give sworn declarations that Trump had turned over all of the classified documents he stole: whoever signs the declaration is going to (a) be in the hot seat for everything that goes wrong with this case, and (b) be the fall guy when it finally falls apart.

In the eyes of Republicans, all of this is an intended feature, not a bug.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed this week that the president has discussed this idea privately, too, adding he would only do this “if it’s legal.” [...] Stephen Yale-Loehr, a retired immigration law professor at Cornell University, tells Rolling Stone he worries Trump could try to deport citizens anyway, court precedent be damned, given how the administration seems to be “attacking on all fronts and worrying later whether their actions are legal. So unfortunately, it would not surprise me if we saw at least one plane load of incarcerated U.S. citizens being shipped off to El Salvador.”

Oh, at least one

“It’s not like we would send everybody there — but depending on the case, it can be an option,” says one of the people familiar with the matter,

Riiiiight. That's what they said about the deportations, that it would only be the worst, most violent criminals taken into custody and returned home. Instead they're snatching people off the streets and out of their homes, throwing them into vans, moving them around the country so their families, friends and lawyers can't find them, and sending into a death camp that's not under control of US law, without due process and no possibility of return.

People have been posting screenshots of invoices with line items labeled "tariff surcharge" on them already.

Probably shouldn't have put the tie on him then, they usually don't like that kind of thing.
