Lawrence O’Donnell: one of the last honest voices in journalism—smart, sharp, and always right about the law. While others were busy sane-washing Trump, Lawrence said it for ages: those tariffs were illegal. The U.S. Court of International Trade proved him right. Again. Truth matters.

As I said about the MAHA report last week, it is disinformation from the U.S. government to the people of the United States. Please call it what it is: false information intended to deliberately deceive or mislead individuals, often used by criminals and terrorists. www.notus.org/health-scien...

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

Phang: If you have to resort to deceit to get something done, that tells me what you’re doing is wrong. What’s happening is a dup-and-scoop: people are being duped into going to court, their cases get dismissed, and then they’re scooped up by ICE and deported under expedited removal.

This is a great demonstration of how the tech bros simply script US foreign policy. The positions reflected here by Marco Rubio have nothing to do with the interests of the US people, but everything to do with Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.

Current state of US politics: The supposed greatest country on 🌎 has a belligerent idiot draft-dodging rotten sack of mangos tweeting gibberish at a smirking former KGB & current head of a rival warring nation. To 0.0 effect, other than US embarrassment. *Somehow real life—not a bad parody movie

There was a protest yesterday in Nashville, TN, putting a spotlight on horrible GOP Rep. Andy Ogles, and the anti-immigrant hate he spews. During the propaganda session, demonstrators could be heard banging against the doors and walls—the noise drowning out Ogles and his lies. More here:

If I’m a foreign government right now—the one lesson that I’ve learned at this point is that there is no durable agreement to be made with this administration. Any assurance, policy, or deal will be arbitrarily annulled by a random 3 am post. No point in expending energy negotiating with this.
