Does Trump think there’s a spreadsheet of undocumented workers where you can just go to their house and arrest them? Or that anyone who works for ICE can sort and filter a spreadsheet?
They did raids on Chicago first, possibly the city least likely have undocumented works.
This is the opposite of what worked in the Good Friday Accords (and many other peace deals). It might not feel great but turning a militant group into a political party — which was already happening in Lebanon — is how lasting peace gets made.
I’ll go with .zip because it’s so stupid, it’s funny. It’s like selling .pdf or .docx and expecting zero shenanigans.
But in all seriousness, I like .website. It’s short and to the point. This is my website.
Well, they just cut every research university in the country’s money by limiting facilities and administration funding on science grants to 15% (with a few exceptions possible, if approved, presumably by Elon Musk).
Basically, a $1,000,000 grant to a research scientist comes with a corresponding payment to the university to build whatever is needed and run the lab. It’s usually close to 50% because research labs aren’t cheap. And with few exceptions, private companies don’t really fund basic research labs like they used to. (There is, obviously, a lot of private sector R&D but nothing like back in the day when Bell Labs, Xerox PARC, etc. were doing revolutionary work.)
I know you were talking about an old timey filibuster and not the modern one.
But for anyone curious, Certain spending bills — bills that deal with spending, revenue, and the debt ceiling — only require a simple majority. There’s a bunch of rules about what can be in the bills and how many times a year you can use reconciliation (once for each of the three topics per year). Basically, no policy changes; just the basic budget stuff allowed.

Not that rules matter in DC anymore. Congress is apparently letting Elon Musk handle appropriations and if Republicans don’t care about the Constitution (or even their own personal power), I doubt like they’ll be worried about following Senate procedure.
We checked everywhere in St. Louis and it turns out, it’s not even close to a border. They would have had to take a ferry boat from the Port of New Orleans and win a few poker hands.
