Yes, and yesterday’s ruling was the true conservative position.

America is the woman who says she wants to find a good guy and marries a felon. Nobody wants freedom or fairness, we want excitement and drama.

The rich have all the advantages, all the lawyers, experts and algorithms to make the most profit and pay the least wages. We have no one who will stand up to them. There used to be politicians who believed in fairness but now they just want to cash in.

If you've ever watched the dynamics between men vs between women in the workplace, they are different, and I don't imagine that even in the rarefied air of SCOTUS, in the end, things are so different than the rest of the world in that regard. I will venture the supposition that over time the three women on the court will have more influence on each other, despite any initial ideological differences, than the male members of the court generally have on each other.

So what does this do for reducing the price of eggs?

Federal immigration officials are warning Congress that the Laken Riley Act could require detention for 60,000 people — needing billions of dollars and thousands more detention beds to comply, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: The bill requiring detention for undocumented immigrants accused of certain nonviolent crimes has received stunning bipartisan support in Congress this year. 

Driving the news: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sent details to congressional offices in December on what they would need to enforce the Laken Riley Act if it became law, according to a copy of the report obtained by Axios.

ICE warned that without emergency funding, they could be forced to release tens of thousands of immigrants — including potentially some deemed to be public safety threats.

We're talking $3.2 Billion. That better not come out of my Social Security or Medicare

why does anyone think the asylum system got backed-up by the millions? - Because no-one would pay the bill to expand the ability to process people. Lack of funding has been at the heart of immigration chaos since Reagan. Passing more laws will pretty much make no difference if funding doesn't materialize for them to executed.

He's only half right. There is nothing wrong with spending the money if you are willing to raise it. The real problem is that most of the GOP wants to spend money just as much as the dems, they just don't want to take the responsibility for raising any.

We already spend Billions on illegals. I have lost track how many billions Biden has dished out in the last two months alone. Drop in the bucket, plus once they are deported we will have a net gain.

All these CEOs so blatantly kissing up to him.    Bezos with a $40 million bribe (yeah, right, a 40 million documentary, sure).   Makes me think some thing really really bad is going to happen. 

 

Wouldn't shock me if he goes full Dictator mode and starts having Democratic politicians and Governors arrested.    The goal is to get 2/3 of the states in Republican control so they can radically change the constitution.

Scoop: Trump team sets red line on Hegseth's FBI background check

Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth's confirmation hearing is becoming a test of will for Republicans on ensuring FBI files aren't distributed throughout the entire Senate.

 

Why it matters: The Trump transition team is demanding that the president-elect's nominees be treated the same way they insist Joe Biden's were.

 

That means no FBI background check access for rank-and-file senators, according to two people familiar with the matter.
