They could actually crow that they brought all that good stuff back but now illegals are ineligible. Ignoring that they've always been ineligible. Shit, they've already blown the budget and deficit straight to hell, why not tack on a few billion for the people.

Not needling you, I've cited Brooks before. It's just that these "common gooders," typically fundamentalist Cathoiics, do a great job of identifying the problems, but their proposed solutions are too white-hetero-Christian in perspective. https://www.patrickjdeneen.com/ https://archive.blogs.harvard.edu/adrianvermeule/ I think Deneen is more sane than Vermeule.

Dumb Question Amnesty Thread
This is hugely overblown. On the other hand, if your negligence causes a "lifetime injury," say paralysis, like, I dunno, Greg Abbott, the judgment is going to seem pretty huge.

Dumb Question Amnesty Thread
They (the band/ISD) have some kind of public performance license that extends to typical high school football venues, but not to broadcasts, most likely. Also, the broadcaster needs its own license to broadcast copyright content. ASCAP/BMI have/grant licenses tailored to incredibly specific situations. They leave little or no money on the table.

Last Chance U
Sorry to hear about that coach. Missed this about the lawsuit. The attorney is a notorious asshole and drunk that represented Rittenhouse until he was let go. Financial and other impropriety follows him wherever he goes.

That's an interesting piece. But there's a couple of problems I see with it that may reveal more about Brooks than anything else. The terms "moral" and "morality" are very loaded these days, as is the term "common good." I very much agree that we have overemphasized individuality and lost community in the process. But attempts to "recover" from that often tend to focus on the moralistic rather than the strictly moral. There's a balance in there somewhere.

So, yeah, as a law dog I have ended many letters with this. I can't do it anymore with a straight face. Just sent one off with something else.

"Putting victims first" is so twisted. Just as a general proposition.

Cuz you're doing lots of sinister shit.

Also, some of you whippersnappers may not believe it, but there was a time when it was believed that communicating by email waived attorney-client privilege because there was no expectation of privacy. Therefore, our clients forbade us from emailing them and those in the organization. Sure, emails can be hacked. Phones can also be tapped and mail stolen or read. It's all relatively unlikely. And I think all this Epstein email came straight out of his email account via search warrant. It wasn't hacked.

Vice President tells NASA to get to the Moon in 5 years.
Well, the owner of BO is only somewhat less of a dickwad than Elmo, so there's that.

John Fetterman - saving America with sweatshirts and Umbros
Regardless of their actual position, or the concerns of their constituents, being a Republican is easy: Support Trump or do not. If you choose the former, you go along with whatever nonsense he's up to at the moment with no regard for anything else. If you choose the latter, you're likely to get primaried, lose a lot of funding, and probably lose the support of the base in your district or constituency; plus, you're likely to get "Truthed" and given a stupid nickname; and possibly investigated by the DOJ. It's not that easy for Dems.

One of the advantages of emails for attorneys, over phone calls, is that they can put in writing a warning of adverse consequences. It can be a fine line regarding putting that kind of stuff in an email, but protecting yourself from a client who is going to try to say you didn't warn them or advise them can be a paramount consideration.

That's very likely true. I'm not even sure Congress really has the power to compel an executive branch agency, like DOJ, to do anything. Yes, they pass the laws that govern the agency and that the agency enforces, but I'm not sure about this kind of thing. It's probably blurry enough to bog the thing down in litigation for 3-4-5 years.

Make the sonofabitch deny it. Trump wouldn't be working so hard on the discharge petition if he wasn't deathly afraid of votes in the House, Senate, and his own veto.

Trump’s America
I suspect Kenvue lodged a complaint with the administration of the use of Tylenol versus the generic name. And probably mentioned that since Trump is the recipient of stupid amounts of license fees over the years, he should appreciate the issue.

A curiosity. Many .gov site do not have a Hatch Act violation at the top of the page. Here's the one from USPTO.gov, which may be a special case because it is self-funded. At present, the USPTO will remain open and fully operational until further notice under operating reserves from the prior year’s fee collections. Labor: Lapse in Appropriations For workplace safety and health, please call 800-321-6742; for mine safety and health, please call 800-746-1553; for Job Corps, please call 800-733-5627 and for Wage and Hour, please call 1-866-487-9243 (1 866-4-US-WAGE). This website is currently not being updated due to the suspension of Federal government services. The last update to the site was 10/1/2025. Updates to the site will start again when the Federal government resumes operations. For more information related to the lapse for DOL employees, please visit the DOL Lapse Information Page. Wonder what's up with that.- Trump’s America
Whose nomination was withdrawn because he was such an unqualified loon that he couldn't be confirmed even by this assbag Senate.- July 4th Hill Country Flooding Tragedy
The fact that there was not a flood of quite these proportions in the not-too-distant past keeps this from being a slam dunk for the plaintiffs. But that fact doesn't help the defendants all that much given the not-quite-as-bad events that still caused death and for which other parties were demonstrably better prepared, including those better prepared for this one despite the lack of public infrastructure. There is still enough wiggle room to make this a close case. - Trump’s America
