Part of the politics of immigration is a game of manipulating statistics. Admin only interested in touting numbers of deportees, not whether they are actual criminals. Criminals are hard to find. Low hanging fruit are to goose the numbers for his base's consumption. Look beyond the numbers.

"The theory ginned up by the GOP justices to bless their expansive vision of presidential power has some real shortcomings. Taken for all its worth, it could allow POTUS to blow up the economy by firing the Fed chair. So they had to announce an absurd exception to it." — @leahlitman.bsky.social

SCOOP from me: the mass exodus of employees from NOAA is decimating a tiny office that literally keeps our measurements of latitude and longitude accurate — and, former employees tell me, endangers the science of how the US understands global measurements:

Projection art meets protest. In front of a USDA building now draped in North Korean-style cult propaganda , they beamed devil horns and whiskers onto Trump’s face. This is what dissent looks like: creative & unafraid. #3E ( 📸 @klonick.bsky )

Random reminder that banning members of Congress from trading stock is a total no brainer. They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

Palestinians are being massacred in Gaza day after day after day and yet I still here some people telling me how happy they are that Trump has had a falling out with Netanyahu. Who cares?! Netanyahu is still killing kids with Trump’s blessing. That’s all that matters.

@cbsnews.com, perhaps you included this impt piece of information but I missed it. Seems a good idea to disclose a huge increase in the size of the wealthiest pieces of pie, while the slices of pie for those on the bottom shrinks, causing many of us to struggle to pay for most basic necessities.

Donald Trump’s termination of Register of Copyrights, Shira Perlmutter, is a brazen, unprecedented power grab with no legal basis. It's surely no coincidence he acted less than a day after she refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.

The playbook is simple. The billionaires hiking prices and cutting jobs want workers fighting and blaming each other so they can keep getting rich off our backs and laughing their way to the bank. Immigrants aren’t the problem. Billionaires are.
