The Supreme Court held that migrants physically stopped outside the US border haven't 'arrived' and can't claim asylum. The perverse result: those who sneak in illegally have more rights than those who present themselves lawfully at the door.

The Haitian and Syrian cases are only the beginning. The Trump administration has moved to end TPS for nationals from Venezuela, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Afghanistan, and Ukraine. When Trump took office, over a million people held TPS. Now, in light of a ruling that guts judicial review of these decisions and excuses presidential racism, every one of those rescissions becomes nearly unreviewable [1] — Leah Litman "Largest delegalization in US history: Leah Litman described the potential mass rescission of TPS across multiple nationalities as the large…" 11:35 . Most chillingly, the people being targeted are those who followed the rules — they submitted to vetting, they do check-ins with immigration officers. The government knows exactly who they are and where they live. Justice Kagan's dissent says it plainly: the court is inviting the administration to put these people on the next plane.
When Trump took office, more than one million people were living in the US with Temporary Protected Status from countries including Haiti, Syria, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and El Salvador.
Fei-Fei Li went back to Stanford from Google in 2018 specifically to build a multi-stakeholder governance framework for AI. Her argument: market forces are not societal norms. Just as biology uses IRBs and cars have safety laws, AI needs layered oversight from educators, governments, and the public — not just a few industry titans.
Andrew Santino's personal MCU of political villains is collapsing. He and Bobby speculated that a circulating photo of Mitch McConnell with a Chinese official was AI-generated compositing two separate images.
Mass surveillance is here to stay. The real battle isn't stopping cameras — it's ensuring judges and laws keep that data out of family court and civil disputes, admitting it only for violent crimes and national security. The surveillance economy currently yields more upside than downside, but only if we build the legal guardrails now.
When people cite Scandinavia as proof socialism works, Galloway says they've got it backwards. Northern Europe runs highly competitive free-market economies with more competition in many sectors than the US — they just make sure taxes are actually paid and redistributed. Billionaires and universal healthcare can coexist.
Two percent adjustments to income tax and stamp duty tweaks are deck-chair rearrangements. The UK's competitiveness hinges on four structural levers: currency valuation, energy costs, regulatory burden, and tax rates. Devalue the pound, build 56 nuclear plants, slash red tape, introduce a flat tax — and the country transforms.
Lisbon had one of Europe's worst heroin crises. Then Portugal legalised drugs and redirected all enforcement money into rehabilitation and housing. Crime collapsed. Addiction fell. Then politics moved the money elsewhere, and the problem started creeping back. Chesterton's Fence: you forget why you were spending that money.
Congress passed the Boland Amendment 411 to 0, explicitly banning CIA and Defense Department funds for the Contras. Reagan signed it — then immediately moved the operation deeper underground, essentially responding to a bipartisan prohibition by going more illegal.
The CIA planted mines in Nicaraguan commercial harbors, wrote the Contras' press releases taking credit, and promptly blew up ships from four allied nations. The Wall Street Journal broke the story, Congress erupted, and the Boland Amendments multiplied.
Oliver North was a decorated Marine and devout Catholic with zero covert operations experience. He ran the entire shadow war against Congress — planes, airstrips, arms shipments, shell companies — learning on the job. And by every operational measure, he crushed it.
