They do answer to Newsom, they were federalized illegally (directly and not via the governor) which is why California has sued the federal government. It’s just a matter of him doing something instead of waiting around for the courts to strike down the federalization before taking action.

Yes I know, why isn’t Newsom ordering them to stand down?

There’s a loophole, and it allows the national guard to do this. From the Wikipedia article:

The Act does not prevent the Army National Guard or the Air National Guard under state authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within its home state or in an adjacent state if invited by that state’s governor.

Kind of surprised the national guard are not included when all other branches were included during the Biden administration

Thank you - a friend of mine is a Senior Counsel for them and has been working almost non-stop since this administration took office, every donation helps.

My sibling had their tonsils/adenoids removed in adulthood and the recovery was brutal, days 3-5 were the worst. Would you say the UPPP or the deviated septum correction was more impactful? I know you had to get both for insurance to cover it, but I’d rather not do both if I can avoid it haha

I’m glad things are better for you! I might need to have this done myself, how bad was recovery and are there any downsides to the procedure?

Cash App Taxes is still free 👍

There’s a way to bring over Steam saves to the APK when you make it, but no cross progression unfortunately.

I got it on Steam because I saw that there’s a tool someone built to create an APK of your Steam game. Worked flawlessly and now I’m playing too much of it on both my computer AND my phone

My father in law (prior to his passing) worked for the National Science Foundation and his job was to investigate grant fraud like this. Apparently it happens all the time.

Got my second mailing from the GOP attempting to separate Trump from Project 2025. They’re scared, and spending a lot of money because of it

Even his campaign thinks so. It was so bad they pulled him offstage before the final question about Project 2025 could be asked.
