“His comments may reflect ableism, but they may also reflect general ageism and fear of getting older,” said Douglas Kruse, co-director of Rutgers University’s Program for Disability Research. And Trump is not the only person who uses ableist logic in their everyday language. “Equating cognitive decline with not being a valuable human is really the heart of ableism,” Shlasko said.

SAUL LOEB via Getty ImagesWASHINGTON – Secretary of Defense and former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, who has mocked “stupid rules of engagement” for U.S. service members, on Friday declared that Iranians under attack in President Donald Trump’s war would receive “no quarter” — a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. We will keep pushing, keep advancing, no quarter, no mercy for our enemies,” he said at a Pentagon news briefing. “Denying quarter is a war crime and recognized as such by the United States,” said Brian Finucane, a lawyer who spent a decade in the State Department.

A federal judge has quashed subpoenas the Justice Department had issued against Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, according to court documents unsealed Friday. With Republicans having a slim majority in the Senate Banking Committee, which approves Fed chair nominations, Republicans need Tillis on board with confirming Warsh. In a statement Friday, Tillis described the probe as “nothing more than a failed attack on Fed independence.”“Appealing the ruling will only delay the confirmation of Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair,” he wrote. Remarkable news conferenceFriday afternoon, Pirro said the Justice Department will appeal the judge’s ruling and denied claims the investigation is politically motivated. ‘A novel improper purpose is improper all the same’The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve had challenged the subpoenas in court in February, with secret proceedings that only became public Friday.

It also marked a rare split with President Donald Trump, who has asserted, without evidence, that Iran was probably responsible for the school attack. U.S. military officials have designated a general officer to scrutinize the attack, Hegseth told reporters. “The command investigation will take as long as necessary to address all the matters surrounding this incident,” Hegseth said. Ask The Post AIDive deeperThe issue became politicized after Trump falsely stated Monday that Iran possesses Tomahawk missiles and that he thinks its military was responsible for the elementary school strike. Sixteen personnel were disciplined, but senior military officials found that nothing amounted to a war crime because the disaster was not intentional.

Hard-line conservatives are opposed to Warren’s role in shaping the Senate bill, including the addition of a controversial Trump-backed provision prohibiting institutional investors from purchasing single-family housing. “The House passed a superior bipartisan product to deliver meaningful reforms and improve housing affordability. Last week, he threatened not to sign into law any legislation until Congress passes the SAVE Act, a top priority for conservatives and MAGA influencers. But the SAVE Act isn’t going anywhere in the Senate. They’re doing this because they’re about to have a horrible election,” Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) said of the SAVE Act.

2020-2021 -The original problem for Laf (age 19, first season) was he was a left wing and the Rangers had CK and Panarin as the top 6 left wings. 2021-2022 Buch traded to make room for Kakko, Panarin 22g/74a/96pts and CK goes insane with 52g, with 25ppg, Zib has 15ppg fed by Panarin/Strome/Fox. The right wings that season were Laf/Goodrow/Kakko/Hunt/ Gauthier and then they picked up Vetrano and Copp for the playoffs because the right wings were not cutting it. There is still no way laf moves ahead of CK and Panarin. Panarin drove the offense and laf pretty much deferred to him when he finally locked up a RW slot with the Trocheck line.

A federal judge blocked the Justice Department’s move to subpoena Federal Reserve records, a significant setback in its inquiry into central bank chief Jerome H. Powell and his testimony about the Fed’s renovations of its headquarters. A grand jury issued subpoenas to the Fed seeking records or testimony about the renovation, with a Jan. 29 deadline, The Washington Post has reported. The ruling marks the latest setback for Pirro, whose office struggled with another high-profile case against Trump’s political foes. The president has nominated Kevin Warsh to replace Powell, whose term as Fed chair expires mid-May. Powell could elect to stay through early 2028 as a governor, depriving the White House of a crucial seat on the board.
