Japan would have sunk the carrier, they've got lots of experience taking out US warships.

Play stupid games...

AI is big tech's pipe dream. The only way the current version of "AI" takes all jobs is by crashing the economy when the bills come due for these vastly overextended companies.

This is the same freak who forced his child to give blood so he could use it in transfusions to stay young. No sympathy.

I'm with Al Green on this one.

...restoring gun rights to some people with mental illness

Never want to hear the it's not the guns it's mental health argument again.

We've already got rules for this.

Note: On January 24, 2020, the Department of State amended its B nonimmigrant visa regulation to address birth tourism. Under this amended regulation, U.S. consular officers overseas will deny any B visa application from an applicant whom the consular officer has reason to believe is traveling for the primary purpose of giving birth in the United States to obtain U.S. citizenship for their child.

Republican "leadership."

5-4?!?

They got this right at least.

Yes it's a bad decision but it will make it easier to fire every sleeper agent Trump tried to hide in the federal workforce once he's removed form office.

More: Writing for the 5-4 majority, Barrett said the federal law doesn't set a deadline for ballots to received so Mississippi's law doesn't conflict with federal rules.

"The question today is not whether requiring ballots to be received by election day is a good or bad idea; the question is whether the idea has made its way into the United States Code," she wrote.

More than a dozen states have similar laws. Additional states allow late-arriving ballots from military and overseas voters. Voting by mail has decreased since its peak during the COVID-19 pandemic. But nearly 30% of voters still cast a ballot that way in the 2024 elections.

Me and a small group of friends are hiking down to stay at Phantom Ranch for a few days down at the bottom of the Grand Canyon this August. Hopefully we don't become unreported statistics.

The Havasupais say they've been living waaaay down in that canyon "since the rocks were wet" - the beginning of time.

I've hiked to their reservation to see the falls and camp for a weekend. Was a hell of a hike but worth it.

Daniel Sanchez Estrada wasn't accused of attempted murder or material support of terrorism after a protest turned catastrophically wrong outside an ICE detention center in Alvarado, Texas. He was merely convicted of obstructing the investigation by moving a box full of antifascist zines after the protest. Giving him a long prison term would make a mockery of justice, his defense attorney, Christopher Weinbel, told U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor on Tuesday.

"The punishment must fit the crimes " not the headlines, not the politics, not the fears that have been mongered about the case," he said.

Instead, O'Connor gave Sanchez Estrada a 30-year term.

The lengthy sentence was among the eight harsh terms handed down by judges in two courtrooms in Fort Worth on Tuesday to activists who played roles at or after the July 4, 2025, protest at Prairieland Detention Center. Their sentences " longer than any of those received by members of the January 6, 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol " capped a case that is widely regarded as the Trump administration's first major victory in its crackdown on left-wing activism.

More: The housing bill would still become law without Trump's signature in 10 days after Congress formally submits the bill. He did not threaten to veto the measure. It's not clear if a president has ever refused to sign a bill he supported in similar circumstances before.

Thune seemed stunned by Trump's announcement that he wouldn't sign the bill.

"I just heard that. I guess I would say, at this point, I don't have any observations about that," he told reporters.

Shortly after the announcement, workers began dismantling a stage set up in the Capitol for a signing ceremony and removing the presidential seal from the lectern where Trump had planned to speak.

Warren said she had no idea if Trump would let the bill become law. He supported the measure from start to finish, especially the private equity provision that Warren championed. He'd even mentioned it in his State of the Union address on his prior visit to the Capitol.

"Don't ask me to rate Donald Trump's tantrums. That's not my specialty," she said.
