There's something fishy going on in Alabama. Their state legislature set aside $1.3 billion to build 2 new "mega-prisons," but the construction of just the first facility has ballooned in price and devoured almost the entire $1.3 billion budget by itself. Total estimates for both projects have now expanded to $2.2 billion.
That comes out to $300,000 per bed.
The speaker of the Alabama House of Representatives called on the construction to be paused because costs are spiraling out of control, but Alabama's governor Kay Ivey rejected that request. Even high-ranking Republicans in Alabama are unhappy with this.
A single construction project involving mass incarceration has doubled in cost and fallen years behind schedule with little to no public oversight. I smell a much bigger story involving criminal activity, mismanagement, and financial corruption. And the consequences of this are putting Alabama further and further into debt.
Alabama is on a stretched budget with limited revenue streams. Spending $2.2 billion on 2 buildings meant for mass incarceration blatantly wastes funds that could otherwise go toward public education, food, rural hospitals, or housing. This should be much bigger news.

Holy shit! Today at the tomb of the unknown soldier, a guard had to tell Pete Hegseth and his group that they were being too loud and laughing disrespectfully!
The Secretary of Defense had reprimanded to maintain decorum at the tomb of the unknown soldier... on Veterans Day! Shame!

Unsurprisingly, the deeply unstable ICE officer who shot and killed Johan Sebastián Durán in July also made racist comments about a Colombian man (a PhD candidate at the time) dating his sister in 2021.
It is an ongoing scandal that ICE hired this man and put a gun in his hands.
ICE agent who fatally shot an immigrant in Maine talked of foreign bloodlines, denounced noncitizens and more, according to emails

NEW: The @nytimes confirms that ICE deliberately electronically "disappeared" tens of thousands of people in detention and ordered contractors to refuse to reveal where they're held to family or lawyers.
30% of all immigrants detained in ICE jails now have their location hidden.

It is a very clear sign of weakness when you have a deeply unpopular President threatening Congress with criminal prosecution for investigating his actions, and this letter will be exhibit 1 in any defense to attempts to bring politically-motivated prosecutions.
🚨BREAKING NEWS in @PunchbowlNews AM
The White House counsel warned Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), the incoming House Oversight Committee chair, in a new letter that some of the new majority’s investigations could cross the line into criminal behavior.
It’s an audacious claim that signals the White House is taking an aggressive — and hugely controversial — stance toward Democratic oversight in the 120th Congress.
The letter, penned by White House counsel Will Scharf, says that Congress can only investigate matters for a legislative purpose — a position that Republicans have relied on and stretched in recent years.
Further, the Scharf letter, sent to Garcia on Monday, says that Democratic investigations are designed to “harass and aggrandize rather than to advance any legitimate legislative end.”

Federalist Society lawyer David Bookbinder on the Manager's Amendment:
"BAAJA locks in place the federal energy permitting policies of the last 10 yrs, which will make it even more difficult for future administrations to effectively reduce GHG emissions."
Exactly this.

Matsui was on track to lose to @MaiForUs until she "loaned" herself $7M to her campaign and AIPAC parachuted in with $1M. We could have won this seat. I hope Mai will run again and this time our entire movement needs to have her back. We ran ads for Mai but wanted to do more.

Celebrating religious diversity in government is not the same as imposing religion through government.
Nobody objects to Christians holding office. Christian nationalism is about using government power to privilege Christianity and impose its beliefs on everyone else.
I'd rather he be held, no bond/bail, until all his trials are over. He continues to run around the country breaking laws everywhere he goes and they keep playing pattycake with him instead of locking his ass up where it belongs for violating his bail.

The last diesel tanker which was still heading for US shores has turned around.
So in summary, Trump's diesel deal with Putin caused no diesel to arrive in the US, didn't drop diesel prices, and caused his party to badly lose the US Midterms.
The Art Of The Deal indeed. 📉💥
There are so many things that should be on the list but I think one that must be at the top is ending qualified immunity. Tell all the cops that if anyone has a problem with that then they can resign effective immediately. That would weed out so many problems right there.
