Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs. Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law. Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more. And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.

So the President of the USA is reduced to being a messenger boy for the Russian dictator and begging for help. Please Vladimir, be nice…. How long until the next time some people start wondering when Trump will be hard on Russia. This is pathetic.

Joe Biden says he's started treatment for his prostate cancer and the prognosis is good. Donald Trump says Biden was executed in 2020 and was replaced with a legion of clones. For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to believe.

This is outrageous. A federal worker at our DC town hall talks about how employees are being asked to write letters stating their support for Trump. Our loyalty is to country not any particular president. As the woman said, “what the literal fuck.” open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

Like, maybe the answer to "why did Musk do that weird thing" is that he is a weird guy, usually high, who spends way too much time online with some of the world's biggest conspiracy theorists.

Yesterday: tariffs on → Molly and I podcasted to explain it all. Last night: courts blocked the tariffs → Podcast felt obsolete. This afternoon: Higher court blocks the block → Tariffs are back. Result: podcast resurrected, and now it's both retro and relevant. Welcome to the whiplash economy.
