There’s a lot of countries, like Canada, that run on a social democracy as well. It’s supposed to be a well-regulated type of government but unfortunately capitalism has a heavy hand on the steering wheel right now.

Shouldn’t laws be (almost) immutable? As in the only way they can be altered is through the courts or by Congress?

If that isn’t the case, and things being as they are, the law is meaningless when it comes to Trump. He ignores rulings he doesn’t like, outright disobeys court-ordered actions, lies to the court (through lawyers) and lies to Congress and Americans all the time.

An industrial wood chipper (used in saw mills). The disc is 5’ 6", holds 6 x 18" knives and can chip an 8’ x 15" diametre log in about 1 to 2 seconds.

It is deadly as they come.

At this point I’m not sure that’s as important as it should be, because Trump is, in effect, doing whatever he wants – including ignoring the courts.

Do you have a link? 'Cause afaik Judge James Boasberg is fighting Trump over his refusal to bring back at least one of the men sent to CECOT.

Feeling shame indicates someone has a conscience and I’m not sure all 9 justices do.

To me, this whole thing has nothing to do with Diddy so much as it is about a judge who is uncomfortable with the fact that there are valid criticisms to be had surrounding race and the courts.

Here’s the thing tho, that lawyer isn’t even part of the defense team. He’s simply a spectator in the courtroom who happens to be a lawyer and that’s what the judge is holding him accountable for, ie: he should know the rules and keep his mouth shut.

I think we could give some leeway for a lawyer pointing out the racial politics of having 6 white female prosecutors outside the fucking courtroom

If he had said something about 6 white male prosecutors would you have still said the same thing? Probably not.

A much better thing to do.

The company staffed mental health and other medical positions with low-level nursing assistants trained to perform basic tasks like taking vital signs, but not to diagnose or assess medical conditions.

Hire cheap labour, charge top dollar for the cheap labour, and murder clients on request.

America in a nutshell.

It’s from the article …

“I would say the whole process took about 15-20 minutes,” the hacker told the publication. “It wasn’t much effort at all.”

That should have been the title in rl.

You know shit is bad when news orgs start using aggregate headlines to advise us of Trump’s stupidity of the day.

Anonymous doing God’s work.

Anyone know if they’ve released the hacked data yet?

Documents obtained by journalists and state investigators show that the original settlement amount matched precisely with earlier findings that Centene had overcharged the Medicaid program. Despite this, state officials, under DeSantis’ administration, channeled $10 million of the recovered funds to the Hope Florida Foundation, a nonprofit run by the First Lady and intended to help reduce reliance on government welfare programs.

From there, the $10 million was distributed to two nonprofits not legally required to disclose their spending. These organizations later funneled $8.5 million into a political committee controlled by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, DeSantis’ then-chief of staff, which campaigned against a ballot initiative to legalize recreational marijuana. Critics, including Republican Rep. Alex Andrade, allege that this diversion of Medicaid funds may have been politically motivated and potentially illegal.

If politicians spent half as much time and effort into working for their constituents as they do to steal money for themselves, America wouldn’t be the shithole it’s become.

It’s at $643+k now (USD).

As always, ACAB.

Never mind that they’re a new design. So if you give them to Ukraine who’s gonna supply repair techs and parts for them?
