Tomorrow you wake up American. You are the same person, nobody asked your permission, you had no say in the matter, but you are within the borders of America, are a citizen, and have no other citizenship. In fact, because you are American, no country will take you, and even if they would, it would take years up emigrate.

What do you do?

“Well, guess we have to hire 33,000 more ICE agents!”

Parnell, the Pentagon spokesman, responded to the ruling in a statement posted to social media, saying the department planned to challenge the order.

“We disagree with the decision and are pursuing an immediate appeal,” he said.

Their first step in the appeal will be to seek a stay of the district court order. And they probably will get it, making this an illusory victory. To recap:

• Step 1: Enact illegal rule/agency guidance/EO. This creates a new status quo.
• Step 2: Ignore any objections and delay during inevitable court challenges to sustain the new rule as long as possible.
• Step 3: Argue in trial court or appellate court that an injunction against the new rule will disrupt the status quo.
• Step 4a: Court rejects the injunction. Go to Step 2.
• Step 4b: Court agrees to the injunction. Appeal, and optionally ignore the court order during the appeal, which only creates more urgency for the appellate court and challenger to address the appeal.

I think we’re being too quick to judgment on this. We’re forgetting that this is a vital step in Jensen Huang’s plan to make $1 trillion from selling AI accelerators to new data centers, which I think we can agree is what really matters to most gamers.

That’s very well said. The bottom line is Democrats’ entire theory of political power is backwards. They need to demonstrate value to get political power. But instead we have Jefferies and Schumer who whine about not having political power so they can’t demonstrate value.

Right…Per the article, the guy is fighting with the town’s lawyers who are apparently sending takedowns to Google without a legal basis.

Per the article, because he wanted to shine light on the fact that you play by different rules if you are wealthy.

From the article:

Parr’s experiment and documentary raises questions, of course, about who gets to have privacy in America. A wealthy enclave has set up the legal and surveillance infrastructure to be able to prevent being mapped. The rest of us, meanwhile, are subject to all sorts of surveillance by our neighbors and law enforcement. “The only reason it’s set up this way is because it’s such a wealthy community,” Parr said. “I know that I was able to do this, but I don’t know if I should be able to do this, and that’s kind of the question that I wanted to tackle. The YouTube comments are pretty crazy man. They’re all over the place. They’re very split 50/50 on that question.”

Seems like a pretty worthy activity to me.

Yup, both the Paul Ryan and stock market metaphors are apt.

But taking the Paul Ryan comparison to its conclusion is probably also apt - he never had the chance to buy back in low, because he didn’t factor in that this particular market has no bottom. The only rational move with the GOP, ever, is to just cash out and leave forever.

The Trump administration is considering a new strategy for throttling the country’s offshore wind industry, after federal judges blocked its five previous attempts to stop wind farms under construction off the East Coast.

Senior administration officials are drafting settlement agreements that would pay nearly $1 billion to TotalEnergies, the French energy company behind two wind farms off New York State and North Carolina, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times, including copies of the agreements.

Under the terms of the proposed settlements, the Interior Department would cancel the leases in federal waters for the two projects, known as Attentive Energy and Carolina Long Bay, the documents show. The Justice Department would then pay more than $928 million to TotalEnergies, reimbursing the company for its winning bids in lease sales during the Biden administration.

In exchange, TotalEnergies would abandon its plans to begin building the wind farms. It would also commit to investing in natural gas infrastructure in Texas, as the Trump administration prioritizes the production of fossil fuels over renewables like wind and solar power.

This is one where I had to click through to the article solely because the headline was too stupid to make sense. We are paying $1 billion of taxpayer dollars in order to undo green energy that was already in process? What reason could there possibly be for not only making our energy policy worse, but paying through the nose to do it?

Mr. Trump has disparaged offshore wind power since 2012, when he tried unsuccessfully to stop a wind farm visible from one of his golf courses in Scotland. He has often called the projects ugly and inefficient, and he has claimed without evidence that they are “driving whales crazy.”

Oh, right. We are a country whose every action must curry approval by narcissistic sociopath with the prefrontal cortex of a 2-year-old.

But they’re bracing for long hours and possible late nights in a bid to build momentum for the bill, which already has broad public support. A recent Harvard CAPS/Harris poll of 1,999 registered voters found that 71 percent support the SAVE America Act.

That’s pretty depressing. But then, I suppose low-information people would support any bill if they just called it “The Good Law Act.”

Oh, right, that’s basically what they did when they passed the, what was it called, Big Conservative Wet Dream Bill last year.
