Essentially, what you're seeing in Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness is the answer to a hypothetical: What if, in the midst of all of these crucial turning points in American history ... there was some loud asshole fucking everything up? We know what that looks like today. All too well.

Screenshot of interview section. Isaac: Putting aside the merits of this war, do you think people such as yourself and the Prime Minister misjudged Donald Trump! I know you said a joyful prayer on the air when he was elected in 2024. You must have had some sense of who this guy is—that he isn't loyal to anyone, that he had no real core values… Shimon: Listen, I was really happy when he was elected. I admit it. I think it was good for Israel. And, in the beginning, it was. But today I don't know what to think. I am really in shock. Isaac: It's hard to fathom.

Where did President Donald Trump's idea to deploy ICE agents to airports strapped for TSA agents come from? As with so many things, the answer may be Fox News. On Friday, "Linda from Arizona" called into The Clay and Buck Show to volunteer that "I think I have a solution to the TSA problem... We need to bring in ICE agents." Host Clay Travis replied, "Linda, I have to say that's kind of a brilliant idea." That evening, Travis, the founder of the right-leaning Fox-owned sports site Outkick, floated the idea on Fox News to host Charlie Hurt. The next morning, Trump posted to Truth Social that he would "move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before, including the immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants who have come into our Country, with heavy emphasis on those from Somalia." And so the wheels of government turn. Travis — whose Mixed Signals interview is worth a watch — told us: "I'm happy to have helped people's TSA lines, hopefully, be shorter on Monday, but Linda's the genius here." A White House spokesperson didn't immediately respond to an inquiry about whether "Linda," in fact, deserves credit (or blame), but it shows you don't need to track down the president's cell number to send him a policy proposal.

From the linked article: “Democrats promised to lower the tariffs that drove up prices for consumers, while Republican leaders agreed with industrialists that they needed the tariffs that protected their products from foreign competition. Republicans assumed that the upcoming 1890 census would prove that the West was becoming the driving force in American politics, and admitting new states full of Republican voters would dramatically increase the strength of the Republican Party in Congress. The one new representative each new state would send to the House would be nice, but two new Republican senators per state would guarantee the Republicans would hold the Senate for the foreseeable future. Then, too, the new states would change the number of electors in the Electoral College, where each state gets a number of electors equal to the number of the state's U.S. senators and representatives. Harrison's men were only too aware that Harrison had lost the popular vote and won only in the Electoral College, and they were keen to skew the Electoral College more heavily toward the Republicans before the 1892 election.”

Screen shot excerpt: I am not exaggerating when I say that the forces of the New Right want to use the full force of the state to impose a national patriarchy. I read through the Heritage Foundation's plan to save America by saving marriage. Here is the plan, in Heritage's own words, with a little translation from me. [ highlighted section below ] They are explicit: Have fewer women go to college; push women to marry and start having babies when they're very young; ban same-sex marriage; ban IVF; limit contraception access; strip basic rights even to physical safety from children; penalize single mothers; and impose conservative Christianity as a national religion.
Who’s the bigger Fascist? Pam Bondi or Dedra Meero
Per the article; *highlighted sections* : “In total, the nation's top 25 philanthropists have donated $275 billion so far in their lifetimes, an uptick of $34 billion over last year. That's a huge sum but represents just 14% of their combined fortunes, the smallest percentage since 2021. *One notable fact: six of the top 25 are solo women*; another 11 are husband and wife (or ex-husband and wife) teams. *That's partly because women tend to give faster and more generously* and partly because people who are not founders or primary creators of their wealth are open to taking "more risks" when it comes to philanthropy because in some ways they feel less ownership, according to Cecilia Conrad, CEO of Lever for Change, a nonprofit that pools funds from wealthy givers, including Scott, Melinda French Gates and at least three other billionaires. *Not generous enough to make the top 25 cut: Elon Musk and Larry Page, the world's two richest people, who together are worth more than $1 trillion.*”
Draft of a middle school poster of Minoru Yasui, born in Hood River, Oregon. He was one of the few Japanese Americans after the bombing of Pearl Harbor who fought laws that directly targeted Japanese Americans or Japanese immigrants.

Adam Smith (D-Wash.), Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), and Rep. Pat Ryan (D-N.Y.) Collins is highlighted given her milquetoast pronouncements that ICE is drawing down its surge in Maine. An unsubstantiated claim.

Fink opened the session by instructing the audience to applaud more enthusiastically for Musk. "That was not a large applause. Start again," the BlackRock chief said. Musk began with a joke about US President Donald Trump's territorial ambitions, referencing a peace summit. "And I was like, is that piece? A little piece of Greenland. A little piece of Venezuela," he said to limited laughter.

Referring to “reform” versus “abolish” rhetoric: The experience of the Twin Cities shows us the ways that this line of thinking is delusional. Trump previously suggested that military troops could gain training experience in American cities. That is exactly what is happening with ICE and CBP. We are watching them evolve into their logical endpoint on the streets of the Twin Cities. They are learning tactics and practices that they will implement elsewhere. They are testing the limits of their power.
Nationwide Comparisons Compared to Judge Segovia's denial rate of 95.3 percent, Immigration Court judges across the country denied 58.9 percent of asylum claims during this same period. Judges at the Pearsall Immigration Court where Judge Segovia decided these cases denied asylum 78.5 percent of the time. See Figure 2. Judge Segovia's asylum grant and denial rates are compared with other judges serving on the same court in this table. Note that when an Immigration Judge serves on more than one court during the same period, separate Immigration Judge reports are created for any Court in which the judge rendered at least 100 asylum decisions. [ Figure 2: Comparing Denial Rates (percents) ]

From NBC News report on former Trump Inc CFO Alan Weisselberg getting released from Rikers early for good behavior; this quote from the judge in that case: Judge Arthur Engoron, who presided over the civil fraud trial, in February said that Trump's and executives' "complete lack of contrition and remorse borders on pathological." "Defendants' refusal to admit error - indeed, to continue it, according to the Independent Monitor - constrains this Court to conclude that they will engage in it going forward unless judicially restrained," Engoron added.
