No, on a flying red firetruck. With an eagle and maybe an assault rifle or two. 

“Then sanctuary cities could issue limited employment authorization to allow them to work within the city limits.”

How is it that so many people yammer non-stop about “cooperation with federal authorities” without ever sparing a second to wonder just exactly what the cooperation is?

{sigh} Robbery is also a state crime, so local LEOs can make a contemporaneous arrest for that just like they can for any other crime in their jurisdiction. Bank robbery, incidentally, is one of the few crimes that will automatically be transferred to federal jurisdiction as a matter of law.

He’s one of the best historians around. He won the Pulitzer and the American History Book Prize for Washington: A Life as well as a National Book Award for Nonfiction for his book on the J.P. Morgan family. He’s also won two National Book Critics Circle Awards, one for a biography of John D. Rockefeller and a second…

He’s no dummy, but he IS a sociopath. He’s the sort of person that’s so damned sure that he’s far more brilliant than anyone else that he either gets cocky and makes careless mistakes or goes all Zodiac Killer and goes out of his way to taunt the police to rub their noses in it.

Except I haven’t really seen a huge mass of folks rushing to Avenatti’s defense. Yeah, there are few people here and there trying to come up with some sort of half-ass rationalizations, but the closest thing most folks are offering as a defense is along the lines of “Well, he’s slime, but look at the rest of ‘em.” 

I think it’s safe to say that “modest” and “low profile” are not character traits that he can claim.

To be more accurate, Trump says that he’s been audited repeatedly. We have no idea whether this is true, but given his track record for honesty, there’s every reason to believe that it is not.

Nah, not Jim Acosta. It’s at least even money that he would dearly love to take a few shots at Mitch.

Oh, lord. Yes, please, please, for the love of all that is holy, this. It drives me insane to hear the non-stop blather about this supposedly El Salvadoran gang coming to get us. MS-13 isn’t some existential evil being sent here by those dasterdly brown folks, it’s something that we sent to them in the first place.

Wait, has anyone checked his portfolio lately? If he’s heavily invested in Disney, his love of tourist dollars might be the deciding factor.

It’s mind-boggling that Andy Borowitz hasn’t simply thrown up his hands and walked away.

I’m pretty sure that DeSantis doesn’t give a happy rat’s ass about the environment. That said, he’d have to be an even bigger idiot than I give him credit for if he couldn’t look at the numbers. There’s no way that Florida would see enough of a benefit from off-shore drilling to offset the risk to the tourism…

Oh, come now. Surely you don’t think that we can have nuance in our approach to the world, do you?

It’s still a thing because it’s still a major fundraiser for a good cause, even if it became a circus side-show in the 1980s. Until then, it was largely an industry affair, handing out its awards and scholarships without much fanfare.

The writing was really good and really funny, anyway. Unfortunately for Wolf, her voice is grating, like nails on a chalkboard. As a one-time event, it’s fine, but you have to be a pretty big fan to listen to it every week. 

I’m guessing that the historian will be telling soothing stories about the fabulous history of journalists as the upholders of truth and freedom.

I keep looking, but I can’t seem to find Mulvaney’s fallback position in the code anywhere. You know, his claim that Congress can’t ask for these returns without some really, really, really good reason - and that it doesn’t matter if they have a really, really, really good reason because he doesn’t believe that’s…

True enough, but those local agencies don’t have federal jurisdiction. They cannot arrest on federal charges unless there is a warrant issued by a federal judge, which is something that can’t happen if Barr refuses to allow USAs to file charges.
