Study after study has proven that undocumented immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than U.S. citizens.
Statistically speaking, you're measurably safer living in a town filled with average undocumented immigrants than a town filled with average native-born citizens. https://twitter.com/chiproytx/status/1653080219782201345

“261000 illegal immigrants have committed some 430000 crimes including 800 homicides, 800 kidnappings, & 5000 assaults in last decade in Texas… and our border has never been more exposed & dangerous. #EndBorderCrisis”
Agreed: "I think it is more likely the Court merely takes the opportunity to narrow the doctrine and make clear that statutory silences and ambiguities should not be construed as grants of agency authority."

My initial take on today's
#SCOTUS cert grants: Has the Supreme Court Put Chevron in the Crosshairs?

Has the Supreme Court Put Chevron in the Crosshairs?
One of today's two cert grants comes in a case asking the justices to reconsider Chevron v. NRDC.

Vivek Ramaswamy is important as the first AI candidate for president. His internal program scans millions of pixels of right-wing cliches, then recombines them into startlingly human-like sentences. Some glitches are audible, but you can glimpse the potential of the technology.

“Vivek Ramaswamy is a Fox News-created fake candidate, who’s raised less than $1 million from people other than himself. There is no value for an actual news organization to waste time talking to him. It just takes some operational costs off Fox’s shoulders.”

For a judge, Alito sure shows poor personal judgment. What possible good could come of saying you know who the leaker is, pointing vaguely at non-conservatives, and refusing to provide any evidence? Does he think this will change anyone's mind? Or is his intent to inflame?

“The Richard Glossip case is a case that could push the death penalty over the edge,” @RDunhamDP said. “If the entire country sees a man who objectively appears to be innocent and the court system that says we don't care.”

Innocence question cuts at Glossip’s death penalty appeal
The Supreme Court will consider if evidence that could prove Richard Glossip’s innocence is enough to prevent his execution.

IN OHIO: The first thing Sherrod Brown thought of when he heard about the run on Silicon Valley Bank was the East Palestine rail disaster. The populist Democrat running against a Republican tide blames Wall Street pressure putting profits over people. 1/

I am not saying that current predictions about the emergence of a China bloc versus a US/EU bloc are necessarily wrong, but it is worth remembering we too easily make predictions that implicitly assume that recent trends will continue forever.

5. A reason Exhibits 1-3 are so incriminating.
DOJ told court that someone (hint: Trump) “asking the vice president to do something the individual knows is wrongful…one of the definitions of ‘corruptly’ is trying to get someone to violate a legal duty.”
