if there's much question, sounds like we've got our first tangible evidence about the quality of the case they're bringing against Abrego Garcia.

What is stagflation? Why are we talking about it right now? (And what does it have to do with anchovies with ketchup?)

NEW: A fund backed by Abu Dhabi will be making a $2 BILLION business deal using cryptocurrency from the Trump family's venture, World Liberty Financial, according to Zach Witkoff. That transaction would be a major contribution by a foreign government to President Trump’s private venture.

Wrote this in January and could easily update it with umpteen more examples since then. They are waging a censorship campaign, full stop.

Whatever Congress feels like in any given year.

He has 47 tattooed on his face.

Important thread👇 This is the effect when the US presidential administration has switched sides and is now actively supporting fascism. They are getting great help from the world's largest media channel X, which is already infected by Russian intelligence.

I’M GOING TO KEEP POSTING THIS STORY UNTIL ANDRY IS FREED: Gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report Andry Hernandez Romero sought shelter in the U.S. because he was persecuted as a gay man, one of the "particular social groups" allowed to claim asylum.

Authoritarianism

On this day, April 14, 2025, the President of the United States openly defied the Supreme Court’s unanimous opinion of April 10, 2025, ordering him to “facilitate Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador

We traded Europe for a guy that builds concentration camps for profit.

In Oval Office meeting, Bukele s said that he has no plans to return Abrego Garcia, telling reporters, “Of course I’m not going to do it.” Obviously that was engineered with Trump, who is ready to again double down with his rank confrontation with the courts. Very very ugly situation.

Here's Trump saying to Bukele that "homegrown criminals are next" and talking about how El Salvador will need to build "about five more places."

This is to the shame of our country

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

L - The official photo from the Kremlin of US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff putting his hand over his heart as he greets his friend Vladimir Putin again this week. R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday. Putin’s stooge.

Casar: At the end of the day, they believe you pay taxes to make them and their friends richer. They believe you should work longer hours for less pay—again, to make them and their friends richer. And maybe they can even squeeze in a little insider stock trading on the side.

This seems right, and all of this is WRONG.

BMO: “.. the U.S. dollar also seems to have officially lost its safe-haven status, in part due to the unique driver of this storm. Just since the reciprocal tariff regime was first unveiled, the yen and euro have popped about 5%, and even the loonie has soared ..”

How exactly does an idea cross the border illegally?

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Restrictions on voter registration can determine who wins and who loses. So can limits on early voting and vote-by-mail access. Close elections often hinge on which votes are counted — and which are disqualified. Even when results aren’t close, Republicans increasingly contest outcomes they dislike.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Eight people in South Sudan, including five children, died on a three-hour walk to seek medical treatment for cholera after US aid cuts forced local health services to close, the UK-based charity Save the Children said reut.rs/3E9kB27

If you weight 2024 imports by the 10%/"reciprocal" tariff amount announced last Wednesday (with China at 54%, Mexico/Canada at 0%), the total tariff rate would have been 21%. Today, with China at 125% and Mexico/Canada at 10% along with ~everybody else, the rate is 26%.

So far there have been three measles deaths in under six weeks in the ongoing US measles outbreak. Prior to this year there had only been three measles deaths in the United States in total in the entire last thirty years.

I don’t know, guys. I’m starting to think that a guy who bankrupted businesses where the house always wins might not be great at running the economy after all.

Of course we can move clothing production back to the US. Why do you think we've insisted on locking the minimum wage at $7.25 for all these years? by Mitch McConnell, Mike Johnson, and Donald Trump

But Witkoff says Putin is not a bad guy and gave a beautiful portrait of Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/w...

Hope people understand the trajectory that we’re on: if the executive is arguing that it has no recourse once people here end up in a prison in El Salvador, then that’s the precedent for there being no recourse when this starts happening to United States citizens.

Production at this facility was temporarily shut down as they assessed the impact of tariffs going forward.

I posted the video over 2 years ago. People thought he was bluffing I guess.

Texas healthcare officials are canceling 50 vaccination clinics as measles spreads. The cuts are due to funding cuts by the CDC and the Department of Health and Human Services. fortune.com/2025/04/02/...

New pod: GOPers are now scrambling to protect their states/districts from Trump's tariffs as new poll finds only 38% approve of him on trade. Tariffs will "slow growth and raise prices," says @jaredb-econ.bsky.social. "That's stagflation." Great explainer from Jared newrepublic.com/article/1934...
