Wednesday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Wednesday, 6/11/25, 7:58 am

– You planning on going to the No Kings rally and march? June 14 starting at Cal Anderson Park and marching to Seattle Center. Also a rally at the UW, and many others across the state and county.

– With ICE raids announced, I’m glad the Ferguson administration is preparing for dealing with the Feds.

– King County has no confidence in John Arthur Wilson.

– I don’t trust any police chief, but if Shon Barnes does get arrested to protect my rights, that would be something.

– Good riddance to Larry Haskell. Hopefully Spokane can do better.

    MAGA is very literally about the most “woke” thing in America right now. It’s as if the entire movement has transformed in to one great big incompetent Haka dance performed by obese seniors in a Free Methodist church basement.

    West Virginia Prosecutors Clarify Women Shouldn’t Be Charged Over Miscarriages

    A West Virginia prosecutors association said it needs to make it “abundantly clear” that it does not intend to recommend its members prosecute women in the state for how they handle their miscarriages. …

    “The West Virginia Prosecuting Attorneys Association wishes to clarify that recent public statements made regarding this subject do not reflect the consensus, official position or legal interpretation of the association, its officers, board members or members of its Legislative Committee,” the statement said.

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/west-virginia-miscarriage-prosecution_n_6849c0c0e4b0cf5f0c9ad63e

    “Shouldn’t” doesn’t mean “won’t,” and this group obviously can’t guarantee all West Virginia prosecutors will follow the “consensus.” The best thing is for all women who can get pregnant to leave West Virginia.

    The National Guard troops deployed in L.A. aren’t just protecting federal facilities.

    National Guard troops already have temporarily detained civilians in the Los Angeles protests over immigration raids, the commander in charge said Wednesday, but they quickly turned them over to law enforcement.

    Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman, speaking in an interview with The Associated Press and one other media outlet, also said about 500 of the National Guard troops have been trained so far to accompany agents on immigration operations. Photos of Guard soldiers providing security for the agents have already been circulated by immigration officials.

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/national-guard-troops-detain-civilians-la_n_6849e6f0e4b04dad09cbea0c

Interestingly, though, I haven’t heard of windows being broken or looting (although there’s been plenty of graffiti painting). And the most serious injury to date is an Australian reporter getting shot with a police non-lethal round.

    But this doesn’t address Trump deploying the National Guard when neither local law enforcement nor the governor thought it was necessary. Everyone understands this is another case of Trump abusing his authority and wasting millions of taxpayer dollars for the sake of political theater.

For comparison, L.A. has 4 million residents, 8,600 police officers, the county sheriff has 9,000 officers, and CHP can provide thousands more.

    Hmm, prosecutors have absolute immunity for quasi-judicial acts, but only qualified immunity for quasi-administrative acts, so if a prosecutor orders the police to file retaliatory charges against someone, a civil rights lawsuit may be able to proceed.

    Anybody see the front page of today’s Arizona Republic?

    Across the entire span of the U.S.-Mexico border, the change is stark – and it happened nearly overnight. Where Border Patrol agents encountered well over 100,000 migrants and asylum seekers just a year ago, they now see fewer than 10,000. More than four months into President Trump’s second term, one of his signature campaign promises – shutting down the flow of migrants across the border – seems fulfilled.

    An incredibly senile Joe Biden said it couldn’t be done unless Congress acted.

    Instead, the voters did.

    Wherein Scott Bessent proves Trump’s economic policy is wedded to Laffer Curve economics, i.e. tax cuts increase revenue.

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Laffer isn’t wrong; either end of the Laffer Curve will produce $0 tax revenue, and tax rates between 0% and 100% will produce some revenue, while revenue is maximized at some midpoint, which Laffer labels as “t”.

    That’s because a 0% tax rate obviously produces no revenue, and a 100% tax rate eliminates economic activity because taxed entities will produce income only if they get to keep some of it. Between 0% tax rate and 100% tax rate, total revenue collected moves higher or lower depending on the tax rate, with revenue maximized at a theoretical midpoint “t”.

    In a democracy, where the taxed citizenry can influence tax policy through voting, the actual tax rate will always be on the left side of the curve and less than “t,” because a rational electorate will never vote to tax themselves to the max.

    This is where the Republican argument falls apart, because it assumes the tax rate is to the right of “t”, but in America any tax rate enacted by Congress is always to the left of “t”. Alternatively, Republicans may have convinced themselves that lowering a tax rate to the left of “t” will move revenue closer to “t” when in reality it moves revenue farther away from “t”.

    So far, this is all theory. But you don’t have to rely on theory. You only need to look at past experience. The Reagan, Bush, and Trump tax cuts all reduced revenue. That’s because America never has tax rates so high that lowering them increases revenue. Only kings and dictators can impose tax rates that high. A democratically elected government never will.

    If you’re stopped by someone claiming to be an ICE agent, you don’t have to take their word for it. Criminals have been known to impersonate LE including ICE. You’re within your rights to ask to see a badge and credentials verifying their LE status.

    ICE agents can enter commercial spaces open to the public without a search warrant, but need a search warrant to enter business premises where the public is not admitted.

    An administrative warrant or arrest warrant is not a search warrant and doesn’t validate a nonconsensual search. Immigration judges can issue administrative warrants, but can’t issue search warrants.
