  1. Not sure if this is what you're referring to, but at least Schumer is raising a bit of a stink about the Qatari plane. https://apnews.com/article/trump-plane-qatar-schumer-nominees-senate-8efd139a898c32cb7a1fa554c3e937c7
  2. There are things the government could do to incentivize corporate models that are pro-worker but not necessarily unionized. For example... Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) - Government could encourage more of these structures where every employee has skin in the game, or help establish new models B-Corp Certification - This is an independent certification that evaluates (among other things) governance models, transparency and fairness to employees; Government could encourage these through tax incentives (I don't think there are any today) or other means. Policies around corporate benefits - A major argument against employee benefit plans (especially healthcare) is that employees are held captive so there is less mobility of the workforce and less incentive to take risk with new initiatives. You could take this to the extreme and remove employers from the equation with universal healthcare, but that's not the only option. The ACA helps mitigate this. Personally, I think income inequality between executives and front-line employees is problematic. I would be curious about government incentives to tie executive compensation to employee comp. Also, these ideas and the general push for more pro-worker policies aren't limited to the liberal/Democratic perspective. Oren Cass is one right-wing voice who is advocating for Republicans to adopt more policies that consider all workers and stakeholders other than just shareholders.
  3. Dude, you're completely wrong here. If the government is allowed to ignore the rights of one person, they've succeeded in stripping rights away from 365 million American citizens. That's the number that should matter and it's not hyperbole.
  4. Should we be creating separate threads for every gulag, or just keep everything in one place? Current thread title doesn't really reflect our blossoming bouquet of concentration camps.
  5. Regarding the proposed film tariff:
  6. Cross posting from the Daily Texan thread
  7. Apparently the DFW lawyer who advised immigrants of their rights and was then harassed by law enforcement has been fired
  8. Not really out of character for Joel to stand down to protect Dina. We saw him do the same thing in S1 when they first got surrounded by the Jackson Hole crew on horseback and they brought out the dog. He even broke down telling Tommy he was paralyzed with fear and losing his edge. Once he realized they were from Salt Lake, he knew he couldn't talk his way out of it without revealing the Firefly plan and putting Ellie at risk. At least that's my read.
  9. News coming out this morning that maybe the SEVIS terminations are getting rolled back.
  10. House Democrats are asking for answers from law firms who made deals with Trump and raising questions about whether they've violated bribery and racketeering laws. https://min.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/min.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/04.24.25-letters-to-law-firms-on-trump-administration-agreements-all.pdf
  11. There are over 100 men who were sent to CECOT outside the AEA authority. They were sent there, according to DHS, under typical INA processes but there is no clear legal basis for holding them in El Salvador. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/inside-the-fight-to-return-the-other-men-trump-sent-to-cecot From the article, here's one guy who agreed to go back to Venezuela and withdrew his asylum claim, but not he's sitting in a prison camp.
  12. A second judge has ordered the Trump administration to return a second man from El Salvador who was blocked from deportation for different reasons (it violated a prior court settlement).
