A suburban Philadelphia tree-trimming company whose orange trucks are a familiar sight in communities throughout the United States will pay a record fine after pleading guilty in a scheme to employ thousands of people in the country illegally.?
Asplundh Tree Expert Co. of Willow Grove, a utility contractor best known for pruning and removing trees around power lines, pleaded guilty Thursday to a federal criminal charge and was ordered to pay a total of $95 million. Prosecutors called it the largest monetary penalty ever levied in an immigration case.
The U.S. attorney's office in Philadelphia said Asplundh employed thousands of unauthorized workers between 2010 and 2014, its top management remaining "willfully blind" while lower-level supervisors hired people they knew were in the country illegally. In some cases, the supervisors rehired workers who'd already been let go by the company due to their immigration status.
I love it. If you really want to stop illegal aliens from entering the country, you need to stop the incentive to enter the country. A $95 million fine is a good way to do that.
As an aside to the NFL thing, it's worth mentioning that a majority of Americans, per Gallup, contemporaneously thought that lunch-counter sit-ins, bus boycotts, and MLK's March on Washington were counterproductive to the movement for equal rights for all. Those things are now remembered as landmark moments, and rightfully so, but it's precisely because they were brave and cut against the grain of majority public opinion at the time.
So Tom Price has got to go, yeah?
I should have checked the news first, he IS gone:

Probably. But it would look really bad for the guy who campaigned on draining the swamp to let Price jet to dinner with his kids on the taxpayers dime.

It's worth asking why we spend $600 billion a year on the military if we can't get more than 5000 troops and 50 helicopters to Puerto Rico.

Trump says 2nd Q GDP growth of 3.1% is "a number that hasn't been hit for a long time." It was hit 8 times under Obama most recently in 2015

Trump just said 6 times that Graham-Cassidy failed because “there was a senator in the hospital.”
There are no senators in the hospital.
