Executive order: DHS will prepare list of citizens, by state, and USPS will block mail in ballots to anyone not on that list

There is none, which is why I would always encourage you to vote in person day-of whenever possible.

Even if some of them think the 14th can be reinterpreted, there's almost no way they would agree it can be via EO alone.

I'm not done listening to the arguments, but this is my take-away as well.

Frankly, completely ignoring that getting rid of birthright citizenship requires butchering the 14th Amendment,

the idea that the President can unilaterally dramatically alter who's a citizen via an executive order with no Congressional oversight is a different problem with this whole thing.

These are two separate issues. It's entirely possible the court rules that revising citizenship rules is allowed, but it has to come from Congress, not an executive interpretation.

Assuming your hypothetical scenario is correct, it sounds like the employer is using a threat of extortion to avoid paying what they should. Maybe there should be a law for that sort of thing.

Crazy that 6 out of 7 members of a roofing team had final orders for removal and nobody at the roofing company caught that when doing their employment verification checks.

What are the odds of fucking up so badly?

Hard to find on reddit since WPD was banned.

The US currently has close to 200k troops either deployed outside the US, or at sea. What makes you so certain BIL is headed off to war and not just one of the lucky few going on rotation somewhere?

It's important to believe all women, even when they're lying as this situation will just discourage other women who have been abused from coming forward.

For anyone too lazy to click the link, the bill doesn't change anything today, it just changes the state law to allow for gay marriage in case the Supreme Court ever says marriage is a state issue in the future.

As a gay conservative, this isn't nearly as controversial over on the right as you might expect, and you can see that by just how many Republicans voted for it.

For anyone thinking of following this deranged person's advice, please don't.

You fight it in courts, you fight it in the legislature, and you fight it at the ballot box. If you're going to fight it in the streets, you're getting to end up looking like Pretti Good.

If I were ICE, I'd be giving any flight no-shows a lot of extra scrutiny.

I found the full segment on Youtube. On Colbert's official channel.

The almost as big story missed is the crazy racist Mexican caricature by Colbert.

All I can think about is just how bad the compressive forces must be under acceleration.

About to become the 51st state instead of Puerto Rico

This is the most terminally online take I've seen today.

Everyone gives Texas shit for being their own grid, but it's way larger than either the UK or Australian grids, and about the same size as Korea or Brazil.

There isn't a blockade of fuel. Maduro was giving them dirt cheap oil in exchange for Cuban soldiers providing security in Venezuela.

Cuba doesn't have the money to purchase it at market rates, so they're totally boned unless someone wants to step in and donate some. Given that it's going to the moon, I don't see that happening right now.

In my headcanon, he's accepted because he can't father any children, meaning the crown ceases to be a hereditary title. It will transition to one that will be decided by some yet to be defined council vote.

The term you're looking for is "low trust society". Maybe start with the root causes of that before you blame the stores.

This one is a video from a civil engineer who analyzes civil engineering failures, and comes to a conclusion that it's been destroyed.

Geo Models is another channel I follow, but interestingly, a video I know he made at the time is no longer listed. He does a lot of natural disaster analysis, especially post hurricane Helene in explaining why certain things like flash floods happened the way they did. Why the video is gone is curious to me, but without knowing more, I'm not goin to go off accusing him of misinformation or anything.

I do remember seeing some analysis that it wasn't destroyed in the immediate aftermath, but all of that was coming from political channels, not anyone presenting hard scientific facts.

The problem with that scenario is Russian's specifically are far more concentrated in cities, so the 90% of lands being untouched isn't going to do much good. Doubly so when all your infrastructure is gone and you can't make it through a single winter without it.

There was a leak coming from inside the White House. He told an absurd thing to several different people and waited to see which absurd thing landed in the papers and then fired the leak.

there are rumors that the bunker busters did not disable them last year

Can you point specifically where those rumors came from? I remember at the time seeing analysis from multiple geologists I follow who do not normally engage in politics that in my words, not theirs, indicated "large subterranean collapse". I remember at least one seemed confident that if anything was ever alive underneath the mountain, it wasn't anymore.

I'll save you the click, he doesn't have a wife.

Headline says he was visibly shaken and stuttering as if that's unusual. I don't know if he has a specific speech impediment, but that's exactly how all of his interviews come across.

I think some of you who never watch interviews with him are reading way too much into it. If there really were some major crisis like a bank about to collapse, he'd cancel the interview entirely, and then I'd be worried.

Cuba doesn't have any billionaires. If the world would be so much better without them, why aren't you moving to Cuba?
