It's 1875 and Mexican warlords have overrun South Texas with their personal armies, stealing cattle with impunity and driving them back to Mexico.

The Nueces Strip is the part of Texas between The Rio Grande and the Nueces River. After the Civil War Anglo-Texans had moved into the area to take advantage one history's great arbitrage opportunities - local longhorn worth $2 could be sold up north for $40.
One of these warlords was a wealthy Mexican named Juan Cortina who had up to 2,000 gunmen at his command. His family had lost land north of the Rio Grande when the Nueces Strip was ceded to the US and he had no qualms about stealing as many cattle as he could from Anglo-Texans.
Here are the relevant bits of the Scotland Act on the the office of First Minister, for people who like primary sources. There will be more about this in the Parliament's standing orders, but this is the basic legal framework. legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/46/…
The FM must resign if there's a vote of no confidence in the SG.
If the FM resigns, for any reason, the Parliament has 28 days to agree a replacement.
JUST IN: Harvey Weinstein's conviction has now been overturned by the New York Court of Appeals, which is New York's highest court. In a 4-3 ruling, the appeals court found that the trial court judge committed reversible error when he allowed the prosecution to call as witnesses other women who claimed that they had been assaulted by Weinstein.
The appeals court found that Weinstein's jury improperly heard evidence of Weinstein's "other alleged bad acts"/past behavior and that he did not receive a fair trial.
Weinstein will remain incarcerated, however, because in 2022, he was sentenced in California to 16 years in prison after his conviction for rape.
Columbia pops up A LOT in parapolitics. I started calling the pattern "the Columbia Cabal".
For example:
-Weather Underground
-FTX founder's mom (and strategist IMHO) Barabara Fried
-Cloward & Piven were Columbia professors
- much more

The "Teacher's College" at Columbia University, is a *major* reason the Educational system in the U.S. was infused with specific "ideologies". It is essentially a "boot camp" for Educational administrators, shooting them out nationwide, for decades.
I see people mention Cloward/Piven more recently. But dont mention it all started with their 1966 "The Weight of the Poor" article in The Nation.

for the hell of it. He wonders what’s supposed to feel shallow about Ivan’s open and obvious hunger, like he’s been waiting a lifetime to swallow Till whole.
Till made sure to watch Ivan’s intake. Ivan might not be as drunk as him, or as high as him, but he’s not sober.

Today’s report—the advance estimate of first quarter GDP in 2024—shows that real GDP grew by 1.6% in Q1, below expectations of 2.5%. Growth in Q1 primarily reflected contributions from consumption and private fixed investment. 1/
Real private domestic final purchases (PDFP), which removes net exports, inventory investment, and government spending, is estimated to have grown by 3.1% at an annualized rate, a strong pace. In 2023:H2, real PDFP grew by a similar average pace of 3.2%. 2/
As the CEA discussed in the 2015 Economic Report of the President, PDFP can be a better measure of underlying GDP growth because it removes some of the more volatile elements of GDP that may not predict growth in future quarters. 3/

The US Congress finally passed the $95 billion National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, which includes aid for Ukraine, Israel & Indo-Pacific allies, and invests in the US Defense Industrial Base.
But what is actually in the bill, and where does the money go?

The Supplemental is actually comprised of 4 bills, which were packaged together by the US House under 1 rule, passed and messaged to the Senate. It includes Supplemental Appropriations Acts for Israel, Ukraine, the Indo-Pacific, and an omnibus sanctions bill.

This thread will exclusively cover the Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act (USSAA). Threads on the Israel & Indo-Pacific bills will follow next week. Don't expect one on the sanctions bill next week, but my friend @GLNoronha is a great source on that topic.

This is the multi year funding agreement the SSBA signed with gov.
🔸Note that there is no way to compare this funding to previous years. In true Sask Party form, these numbers are carefully chosen to only allow for one carefully crafted narrative— that of increased spending. 1/

🔸Also note, that this “increase” is followed by a 3 year funding freeze. We’ve experienced record growth in our public schools, and the SSBA jumped onboard for a funding freeze?! This seems mind blowing for its short sightedness. 2/
🔸Not only does this agreement lack any context about an actual dollars increase over the last school year, it looks to be a funding increase of only $45,600. In this entire chart, this is the ONLY increase. 3/

I have been living thanks to crypto for 4 years now and only recently realized a simple truth:
Success here is achieved by those who continued to work on themselves even after the avalanche of disappointments.
Success here is achieved by those who continued to work on themselves even after the avalanche of disappointments.
One key factor that sets successful people apart is their perseverance – they never give up, even when faced with challenges.
Throughout my crypto journey, I've made notable mistakes.
Rather than giving up, I chose to stay actively engaged in the industry, putting in long hours of hard work day and night.

So the question to ask is “what propped up right wing media.” Cuz whatever it was…..is gone.

NEW: With Supreme Court argument on presidential immunity opening in 68 minutes, remember this: Whatever the outcome, it won't change the existence or scope of the Manhattan DA's ongoing trial. Why? 1/
There are at least two reasons. First, Trump already tried to litigate his presidential immunity defense to the Manhattan DA's charges when he attempted to remove this case to federal court last year. But that defense, ruled Judge Alvin Hellerstein, was not even colorable. 2/
While Trump started to appeal that ruling last fall, he withdrew it for reasons we can only speculate about. (I personally think it's because calling himself a federal officer for removal purposes would have undermined his arguments in the various 14th Amendment cases.) 3/
