Oh, I have no doubt that the Leavitt's might use ICE as a weapon against someone inconvenient. The article makes nothing clear, though.

Maybe not even that. Former girlfriend of Leavitt's brother? Former one-night-stand of Leavitt's brother? The article is unclear in a way that is either purposeful or ignorant. I'm not sure which.

The woman is Leavitt's nephew's mother but is estranged from her child. She has no real relationship to Leavitt.

The real story here is that she was a DACA kid with one arrest for battery, the legal outcome of which is unclear. Obviously "the worst of the worst".

Shit, point conceded... Thanks for correcting me.

I guess my point is mainly that the increase in price for employer supplied health care is unlikely to be due to the changes in subsidies. It is more likely due to gouging by someone somewhere in the chain. We don't know enough about the impacts of losing subsidies for health care companies to adjust other prices in good faith. Someone is getting wealthy off the changes to that employer supplied health care plan.

Why do these dumb fucks pretend they haven't seen the video? They always do this if they don't want to address an issue. They say "well, I have been busy and haven't heard the MOST IMPORTANT NEWS OF THE DAY" as though it's okay to be grossly uninformed. As though their staffers didn't bring it to their attention immediately. They treat us like morons. It's just too bad so many of us are...

At my job

While that is definitely fucked, it is due to a different problem. The probelm discussed in this article impacts people who cant get affordable insurance through their employer and, instead, go through the ACA health care exchanges.

Maybe your employer is taking advantage of the confusion around this issue to quietly make you pay a larger share?

It probably has more to do with other countries adding terrifs on lumber exports in response. Maybe it's the cost of importing parts and materials needed for the process, though.

Spell checking for this comment coming to you from Microsoft

My city made busses free but they only run like once per hour so it's still impossible to efficiently use the system. Unfortunately it's not just about cost. It's also about usability.

These are definitely not pigeons.

I like my Subaru if that helps.

I wonder if courts would uphold the provisions against discharge through bankruptcy after this. Probably but I feel like they shouldn't.

Two questions:

1. Why would we think otherwise considering that everything in the universe seems to rotate from galactic clusters to galaxies to black holes to stars to planets to the brains of physicists trying to reconcile relativity and quantum?
2. Does the math actually work out? If so, is there a known constant for the angular momentum of the universe that would explain what we're seeing?

I hope we fall a few votes short of veto-proof. Then Trump vetos. Then we get a veto-proof vote. Maybe that's asking for too much, though.

Oh, that person is way too alpha for therapy.

I would think that all of the school officials could be brought up on charges of failing to report as mandatory reporters.

I got an MS in a STEM field and wasn't able to buy a house until I was 36, supervising multiple employees, and married to someone who also contributed.

How the fuck is Kid fucking Rock still relevant in any way? I thought he would have just disappeared into obscurity after the 90s ended. Do some people actually still give this guy their money for some reason?

Edit: How the hell does the "ba with the ba with the bang da bang diggy diggy - diggy said the boogie said up drop the boogie" guy have eleven studio albums? And who the hell are the 5.3M monthly listeners on Spotify? This blows my mind!
