"People from U.S. ally countries such as France, Britain and Germany as well as people from countries Trump has targeted for years, such as Haiti, are among those the administration would send to the prison, per The Washington Post".

The projection from Stephen Miller is brighter than the Sun. Stevie coup-boy.

Not unlike the tire salesman who goes around slashing his friends' tires overnight.

Only Congress can approve emoluments. Bondi is not Congress. This is a bribe. An impeachable offense. Congress, issue articles of impeachment. Do your job. The gift is a Trojan Horse. An obvious security risk.

Sure enough, the UK "deal" he "announced" isn't even written yet let alone signed or approved by Congress. It is fake.

Sounds like the work of Eric Prince to me. Could this be Blackwater or whatever its name is now? Anybody? No warrants? No ID? Disappearing people and property? Anybody? Anybody?

This started on day one of the tariff BS. There are already fewer Chinese cargo ships in US ports. Supply chains have been disrupted. Big box stores already have a few empty shelves. Big price increases next. This has only just begun.

So the Department of Defense is now a TV reality show. This proves it.

Basically, Alito dissented because he had to be up at midnight past his bedtime on Easter weekend. Couldn't it wait? Couldn't the lower courts have handled this? Whine, whine, whine.

Yep. 90 day pause and tariff reduction to 10% just issued for some (unspecified) countries, China tariff raised to 125%

If there are no imports, it's division by zero. What could possibly go wrong with that?
Idiots.

Fun fact:
Susan Crawford flipped Outagamie County, birthplace of Joe McCarthy and HQ of the John Birch Society.

I love that the USIP Communications Director is named Gonzo.

Judge Boasberg was a FISA Court judge previously. Can't get much more "state secret" than that. Federal Judges have authority to access state secrets, just not in public. The lawyers may if they have proper clearance. That might be the problem they're claiming.

Chief Justice Roberts just chimed in saying impeachment is not appropriate. Very unusual that he'd say anything. It shows that he's paying attention to the news, though.

Guy walks into an auto parts store.
Parts guy asks, “What do you need”?
Guy says, “A set of lug nuts for my Tesla”.
Parts guy says, “Deal”!

Zelenskyy just left the White House. Meetings cancelled.

Turns out, he did.

Zelenskyy's limo has just returned to the White House entrance. The meeting has been cancelled. Zelenskyy is leaving.
Either Zelenskyy is walking out or Krasnov the Orange kicked him out?
Both probably.
This shouting match was disgusting.

New White House statement ends with "he can come back when he's ready for peace"
Did Krasnov the Orange just throw Zelinskyy out the door?

This is great news. This is personal. Our non-profit gets grants from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). Diversity is fundamental in our charter. All previous grants have been justified along diversity and international inclusion lines. We'll survive, but this ruling must stand.

The EO was to pause. The judge blocked it. Good.
comment in response to

"Blocked" in what way?
Did the judge block the pause?
Did the judge block the executive order?
Good or bad?

Alex will stay in the field, not coming back as an anchor. Change in plans. I think she preferred putting field reports together rather than the high pressure daily anchor job, yet still with MSNBC. She's very good at field reporting. Announced quietly Saturday.

I love your show. I am upset. See you until April, then whatever happens next. I wish you all the best.

One of those Social Security conspiracy theories involves those 100 and over still getting checks.
It turns out that the very first monthly Social Security recipient, Ida May Fuller, was born Sep 6, 1874 and died Jan 27, 1975 at age 100.

FYI, one of those Social Security recipients who was 100 years old was none other than the very first Social Security recipient, Ida May Fuller. Ms Fuller was born Sep 6, 1874 and died Jan 27, 1975 at age 100.
