Joe Biden literally wrote a memo telling staff that he’d be disappointed in them if they missed family milestones because of work.

Oh to have been in the room when this clause was added.

Washington, D.C. will not let employers use noncompetes on most workers earning under roughly $160,000 a year. Unless you are a casual babysitter, because apparently the teenager watching your kids is a major trade-secret risk.

Under military custom only commissioned officers in uniform (and the POTUS as Commander-in-Chief) render a hand salute in response to a salute. Civilian officials, including Cabinet secretaries like the DHS Secretary, do not.

The DC mayoral race boils down to rooted residents, who support Kenyan McDuffie, vs newcomers, who favor Janeese Lewis George. @CityCast_DC poll shows that Nats and Commanders fans are for McDuffie; fans of out of town teams for JLG

2024? Mayorkas should read memo he signed in April '22. Surged resources, stood up coordination center, improved efficiency, & summer '24 EO built on a tightening of asylum screening begun in 2023. Convenient to criticize Biden but oversimplification dhs.gov/sites/default/…

Mayorkas: Biden administration should have ramped up border controls sooner dlvr.it/TSVkF0
English
Mayorkas saying “we should have moved sooner” isn’t a confession of failure. It’s what anyone inside DHS would have given you. The failure wasn’t his. It was a White House that treated the border as a comms prob instead of a governing one + GOP that chose Trump over the deal.
English
Mayorkas didn’t set immigration policy in a vacuum. He inherited a system Congress hasn’t meaningfully updated since 1996, and he ran a department whose authorities are capped by statute. The “low bar” for credible fear he referenced? That’s the law.

@Evan_Rosenfeld I’d like to audit if his first wife, mother to his favorite daughter, is truly burried at the NJ golf course, thus making the property a funeral company and tax exempt.
English
Precedents show IRS can revisit or disregard overbroad settlements, and tax administration remains an executive function that changes with leadership. A future administration can very well disregard this addendum and attempt audits.
English
The addendum, as written, may provide practical protection during this administration and create hurdles (litigation risk for auditors), but it is *not* ironclad against a determined future one.

Look at all the 🇺🇸 trade that's now happening without the Jones Act in effect.
And the Jones Act fleet is still fully booked. This is all extra shipping, from Americans to Americans, that's happening just because government got out of the way.

Saying “While Democrats use law enforcement as political pawns” while simultaneously using law enforcement as political pawns is some VEEP-level stuff.
Homeland Security@DHSgov
"We are going to fight every single day to make sure that they can’t play games with our law enforcement anymore." @SecMullinDHS While Democrats use law enforcement as political pawns, President Trump and Secretary Mullin will always stand with the men and women defending our homeland.
