Are socialized roads bad? How about water and sewer service? Both of those are the most common socialized services in the United States. A government run electricity/internet provider (the Tennessee Valley Authority) is one of the best run utilities in the nation.
I'll admit that socialism isn't the best system for everything but, there are many places where it's a damned sight better than capitalism.
The reason that American federal judges have lifetime jobs is so that they aren't beholden to the President or Congress beyond impeachment. I sincerely doubt that Judge Young is in danger of impeachment (67 Senate votes isn't likely).
Gmail filters spam in two ways. First are things that they are sure are spam. Those don't even make it to your spam folder, you simply never see them. Second are things they think are spam. Those are placed in your spam folder.
Technically there's a third level now for things that many but not most other people manually marked as spam. Those show you a notice bar if you open them, saying that a bunch of people marked them as spam but they still make it to your inbox.
I get a bit of Republican party spam although most of it ends up in my spam folder. I only directly allow political email from my direct elected representatives (my two Senators, House representative, state senator, and state representative) since they tend to have important things to say about my local politics. Unfortunately, since my state rep and senator are both republican, the GOP has my email address. I also get a bit of Democrat party spam but, based on the email addresses it goes to, it doesn't seem to be from my elected officials providing my email address.
Normally, your point about the petition would be true but this is an official government petition. Once it broke 100,000 UK citizen signatures, the government is required to respond. It doesn't guarantee any particular movement on the topic but, it's a way for the people to show what they think about a particular topic between elections.
If he were eligible to run (he's not a native citizen) I would vote for him for President. After a term or two as mayor he can probably try to make it to the US Senate for New York though.
This has already come to pass. Those Texas flash floods occurred in a locale that voted not to install emergency sirens because of the tax burden. Instead, people died.
GAVIN NEWSOM, IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY AS GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA; STATE OF CALIFORNIA, Plaintiffs,
v.
DONALD TRUMP, IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES; PETE HEGSETH, IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY AS SECRETARY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE; U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, Defendants.
It's on the first page of the embedded lawsuit. Hegseth is one of the named defendants.
As said in my subject line, language evolves and these changes aren't even new. Language is used to transmit meaning between people, as long as everyone in the conversation understands what is meant, the words are functionally correct.
Currently the DC Bar is having an election for their new President. One candidate is AG Pam Bondi's brother. We should hope that he loses if we want any sanctions to be acted on.
The only thing Goldberg redacted in this message thread is the name of a CIA operative on the ground. I don't know if that operative is their source but, I wouldn't feel good about being in the area if it were me.
Because the Order works to brand Perkins Coie as persona non grata and bar it from federal buildings, deny it the ability to communicate with federal employees, and terminate the government contracts of its clients, the Order violates the right to counsel afforded by the Fifth and Sixth Amendments. (Emphasis mine.)
That was pointed out in the article and the argument by the law firm.
Fortunately, TROs can't be appealed. So, no harm will be done until after the decision comes from this court (almost certainly in favor of Perkins Coie) and then the appeals process.
Passwords are one of 15 categories that are still end-to-end encrypted by default in iCloud. I say this as an Android user. Apple has enough issues, let's attack them with the truth, not FUD.
I'm wondering how the Democrats are going to deal with the budget fight in about a month. That does have to get through a potential Senate filibuster. That's where they will still have leverage. If they screw that up then it's effectively over until the mid-terms.
Senate rules were changed in the past such that nominations can't be blocked by filibuster. You only need a simple majority to get nominations done. If Trump were trying to get his agenda done the legal way, by passing laws through Congress, Democrats would be able to stop it with the power of the filibuster. However, with him running his agenda through mostly illegal executive orders, congressional Democrats don't have much they can do. Others outside of Congress have been fighting by way of lawsuits against the illegal orders to mixed success.
Non-hispanic whites are already a non-majority amongst under-18s at 47.3% in the 2020 Census. That genie is out of the bottle. Unless there's a serious shift in birthrates, that number is not moving back up in the coming decades

Since the district court awarded legal fees on the dismissal, I'd hope that they'd do the same if they win at trial.
Why not?

Too Bad I Can't Vote For Him

It's Already Happened

Outside?
Outside is cold and covered in snow and ice. Inside is warm. I think inside wins here.
