It's the first line in the article: but said that U.S. courts lack jurisdiction to order his return from the megaprison where he’s now locked up. The point is if they disappear people quickly enough, they think this argument will fly

Sounds like they are testing an argument about jurisdiction now. US citizens are likely next. The Trump administration acknowledged in a court filing Monday that it had grabbed a Maryland father with protected legal status and mistakenly d

Good point. The Democratic Party has a ton of issues with platform and messaging. But, I would vote for them over any MAGA person at this point and I think the polls/special elections are starting to show that shift at scale.

Just so I’m clear. You think people, including citizens, should be thrown out of the country if they criticize Trump?

> When you are welcomed at someone's house, you don't start going around by lecturing them on how to run their house. Cool, so are all the people criticizing Trump and his group of idiots not allowed to do so?

Exactly. Once due process is removed from non-citizens, they can arrest whoever they want, claim they are non-citizens, then prevent them the due process to prove otherwise.

> Have you ever heard anything said by the current US president? It's just incoherent rambling. Which is ironic considering all we heard from MAGA/Fox for the last 4 years is that Biden was incoherent and senile.

It's not really the style anymore (and they were wildly expensive), but some of the best jeans I've had were True Religions. I could go to the store, try on a ton of pairs, and then get the length tailored. I used to power lift, a

Meeting strangers is the first step to friendship. A big issue now is that people don't know how to meet other people. It involves risk taking, building confidence and yes enduring some rejection. And that's ok.

It can certainly be both. Just like they have already tried to shield DOGE from FOIA transparency requests.

Hahaha...it has always been a farce, just like Twitter and Musk are for free speech and DOGE is about transparency.

I'm glad you mentioned this. I asked Deep Research to lay out a tax strategy in a foreign country and it cited a ton of great research I hadn't yet found.

Claude isn't wrong. The baseline for entry level has just risen. The problem isn't that it's risen (this happens continuously even before LLMs), but the speed at which it has increased.

The problem is defining negative impact and also timing. For example, I can stop doing backups and save time and money. There is zero negative impact right up until the point I need to use the backup, then the impact is catastrophic.

Great points. I love the idea of 'vibe living', and just being nice to people and showing genuine interest in how they are doing.

It should also be noted that housing is super local. Building a bunch of new supply in the mid-west isn't going to lower the prices along the southeast coast. And for a less extreme case, adding a new house across town from me isn&#x27

Starlink does come back to earth often in the same country or region as the user. Then it would fall under all the same blocking.
