Video Search ADVERTISEMENT Biden administration won’t defend Trump public charge rule By SOPHIA TAREEN and JESSICA GRESKO an hour ago CHICAGO (AP) — A Trump-era immigration rule denying green cards to immigrants who use public benefits like food stamps was dealt likely fatal blows Tuesday after the Biden administration dropped legal challenges, including before the Supreme Court. Continuing to defend the rule “is neither in the public interest nor an efficient use of limited government resources,” the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said in a statement. The Supreme Court won’t weigh in on the legality of the so-called public charge rule because of an agreement by the Biden administration and the parties and states challenging it. Separately, the Justice Department also dropped objections to a ruling before the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, upholding a federal judge’s November order striking down the rule nationwide.

How we came to rely on the courts, instead of the democratic process, for justice

The first time I got laid off I thought that I was going to get a raise. I got a calendar invite the night before for a 9 a.m. meeting with the CEO and our executive editor, which was similar to the one I’d gotten six months before when my salary had been bumped from […]

t’s a sunny weekday afternoon and Manny McCall has just sat down to eat some tacos at East Oakland taqueria El Paisa@.com after a full day driving around to deliver his now Instagram-famous spicy garlic pickles.  McCall hasn’t always been in the pickle business. Before the pandemic hit, he was a server at Zuni Cafe in San Francisco. But like many workers in the restaurant industry, McCall was laid off from his job. With unemployment benefits not being sufficient to cover his expenses, he had to think of creative ways to make ends meet. He turned to cooking, a skill he first learned from his mom. “I got started with cooking through my mom at a very young age,” McCall said. “It was a way that she and I bonded. I was always involved in everything that she made.” 

“The atmosphere resembled less a self-improvement seminar than a site for off the-books interrogation of terrorist suspects,” the complaint alleges. “The sensory isolation and intimidation was reinforced by constant yelling and verbal abuse by seminar staff, creating an atmosphere of fear in the room. Nevertheless, most attendees, including plaintiff, felt that they had no choice but to remain because they were sent to the seminar by Panda Express and told that their opportunity for promotion would depend on completion of the seminar.”

If you know anything about the Orthodox community, this information may surprise you. For devout Jews, watching porn is forbidden, and many Orthodox rabbis equate male masturbation with wasteful “spilling of seed” — harmful, offensive and dangerous. But despite what rabbis might say, humans are human, and humans like to fuck, especially after they see people like them having the kind of sex they wish they could. “Yossi,” FrumVids’ pseudonymous moderator, uploads Orthodox-targeted videos and photos to his website, many of which he teases on Twitter under the handle @FrumSex. Often, his porn is characterized by typical Jewish symbols and imagery — there are hashtags like #KosherSexRevolution, cheeky shots of buttocks and breasts beneath modest, traditional clothing and a woman lying on a table, naked, with a full loaf of challah delicately covering her crotch.

This has the tiny, mischievous paw prints of Colin Jost all over it.

Having a monarchy next door is a little like having a neighbour who’s really into clowns and has daubed their house with clown murals, displays clown dolls in each window and has an insatiable desire to hear about and discuss clown-related news stories. More specifically, for the Irish, it’s like having a neighbour who’s really into clowns and, also, your grandfather was murdered by a clown.

DHS “Fusion Center” under fire for spreading far-right conspiracies, pushing racially and politically biased intel A state lawmaker from Hallowell is pushing to abolish a secretive domestic intelligence agency whose methods and effectiveness have become increasingly questionable since last spring. The Maine Information and Analysis Center (MIAC), one of 80 “fusion centers” created after 9/11 by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to monitor terrorist threats, will be forced to justify its existence or lose most of its funding when hearings are held on Democratic Rep. Charlotte Warren’s bill later this session. “COVID has created economic difficulty within our state budget. We need to be reevaluating the purpose of every dollar we spend,” Warren said. “We need to ask if each expense delivers the intended results for Mainers. MIAC does not pass that test.” Most of MIAC’s $700,000 annual budget comes from the state; it also receives some federal funding.
