@BrianHegseth @thauserkstp @LisaDemuthMN @mngop @mnsrc @mnhousegop Ask @HarryNiska @RepMaryFranson and others to please work on this in the upcoming session.
I think everyone wants to protect the community by safely transferring to federal custody justice-involved foreign nationals in prison or jail, presumably for a reason, right?

Even if you accept the argument that Halligan was lawfully appointed and should not have been disqualified, which is currently under appeal at the Fourth Circuit,... her time is up.
The 120 days have passed by.
So, there's a vacancy.

The role could have easily and quickly been filled by Robert McBride, an experienced DOJ prosecutor and former Navy lawyer who was taken out of the Kentucky office to serve as Halligan's First Assistant....
But DOJ fired him last week.

None of this is an accident. It is a choice. They are choosing to let my disabled veteran husband, Conrad Rockenhaus, die rather than admit they were wrong.
I have hundreds of pages of documentation and evidence of a system protecting itself while a man dies.
I am winning the argument, but losing my husband.
🚨 Hedra just solved the problem that kills 90% of AI content before it even starts.
It's called Elements, and it turns "staring at a blank screen" into "combine these assets and ship.
No more prompt paralysis. No more inconsistent characters. Just actual creative workflow.
Here's how it works:

No more prompt paralysis. No more inconsistent characters. Just actual creative workflow.
Here's how it works:
Every AI creator knows this nightmare:
→ Spend 2 hours crafting the perfect prompt
→ Generate 50 versions trying to get consistency
→ Character looks different in every frame
→ Give up and post nothing
Meanwhile others are shipping daily with cohesive visual stories.

Hedra said "what if you just BUILD instead of DESCRIBE?"
Elements gives you pre-configured building blocks:
- Characters (consistent faces/proportions)
- Outfits
- Environments
- Styles
You combine them like Lego. Upload your own. Done.
No prompt engineering PhD required.

@DefiantLs Per Google AI: U.S. immigration law, primarily under Title 8, treats illegal entry as a serious offense with civil and criminal consequences, including potential fines, imprisonment (especially for repeat offenses or felonies), expedited removal, bars on future legal entry...
@DefiantLs (2) ... and criminal prosecution for subsequent re-entry after removal, with specific laws like 8 U.S.C. § 1325 criminalizing improper entry and § 1326 dealing with re-entry after removal. (Cont'd)
@DefiantLs (3) While mere presence without prior removal isn't a federal crime, unauthorized entry or re-entry can trigger detention, removal proceedings, and significant legal penalties, with recent legislative proposals increasing mandatory minimums for re-entry offenses. (end)
The Dark Threads Are Just As Needful! 🧵
We don’t understand how the things in our life that seem so difficult are working together for our good, and for His good purposes.
Sometimes life just seems too hard and we ask why LORD? Why must I go through this?

Sometimes life just seems too hard and we ask why LORD? Why must I go through this?
We don’t see things from His perspective. We don’t know how each situation is being woven together, not only in our lives, but in the lives of others, to form something we could never imagine — An eternal weight of glory!

If President Trump acquires Greenland and "controls" Venezuela, the US would gain control of 1.2 MILLION square miles of land.
This is ~42% larger than the Louisiana Purchase, the largest US acquisition ever.
What's next? Let us explain.

It was an incredibly busy weekend.
On Saturday, Trump announced new 10% tariffs on eight European countries amid his push for Greenland.
Trump says these tariffs rise to 25% on June 1st.
They will remain until a deal is reached for "complete and total purchase of Greenland.”

The result was a series of escalations on the trade front and the EU threatening to retaliate.
Now, the EU Parliament is looking to end the 2025 US-EU trade deal.
Trump proceeded to double down, saying US acquiring Greenland is "imperative for national and world security."

GROK TURNED MY HOBBY INTO A $7K/MONTH SIDE BUSINESS.
Most people think monetization is complicated.
Grok gave me a step-by-step plan anyone can follow.
Here's the complete breakdown:
Most people think monetization is complicated.
Grok gave me a step-by-step plan anyone can follow.
Here's the complete breakdown:
1) Start with one hobby → one clear result
A hobby becomes a business when it helps someone get a result.
▷ Don’t ask: “How do I make money from my hobby?”
▶ Ask: “What result can I help someone get, and who wants it badly?”
Copy-paste prompts:
- “My hobby is ___. List 20 real problems this hobby can solve for other people.”
- “For each problem, write the result in one short sentence: ‘Help ___ do ___.’”
- “Rank these ideas by: easiest to deliver, highest value, and most common.”

2) Pick a specific person (specific = easier to sell)
Avoid “everyone.” Pick one group.
Examples:
- “Busy parents who want healthier snacks”
- “Office workers with back pain”
- “Small business owners who need better photos”
Copy-paste prompts:
- “Give me 10 specific groups of people who struggle with [problem] and will pay for help.”
- “For each group, write what they want, what they’re afraid of, and what they’ve tried already.”
- “Choose the best target group for a beginner to sell to and explain why.”

🧵A vote is coming to send more taxpayer dollars to the refugee program. Don’t be fooled. Appropriators know the public opposes this, so they’ll likely hide it in a CR. Sunlight is the only way to stop it.
After the Somali fraud exposed billions being siphoned off, Washington’s answer is… more money? A program meant to help the vulnerable was looted for years. Why would any Republican senator vote to refill a program that was just ripped off?
They hope you won’t notice. That’s why this will be buried in a continuing resolution. But voters deserve to know who is willing to keep funding a system proven corrupt.
There's much less focus on China's rental real estate market, but it's pretty interesting. Rents have fallen in recent years. This chart shows a modest 6.5% drop in rental prices from mid-2021 through 2024.
Price drops accelerated in 2024, and the article's explanation in a mixture of general economic conditions, but also the build-out of 保障性租赁住房, or 保租房, affordable rental housing is how I see it translated.
This affordable rental housing is directly aimed at youth and migrants, and is funded by policy banks. Not a huge number of apartments, but not insignificant either.
The 11th Airborne Division is the least likely to be used to invade #Greenland.
The division's deputy commander is Canadian. He is responsible for Operations. The 11th would have to arrest part of their own officers, before being able to plan a Greenland invasion.

there are just 8 C-17 Globemaster aircraft at Elmendorf Air Force Base. The USAF would need to fly a dozen more up to Alaska, which of course Canada would notice. Then to reach Greenland the C-17 would have to cross Canada's North, which NORAD's Canadian officers would report
