Every Saturday night it seems like half the country is watching two meatheads beat each other’s heads in, and going by the statistics these fights happen between rounds of them beating on women at home. I’ve never felt the draw of it. I just watch movies with my wife and go to bed happy

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be the story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

Ambushing & arresting people who are here legally & are obeying the law by checking in with ICE as they’re required to do. Repressive fear tactics that will NOT end with immigrants alone. Why would it? It’s a handy way to force your opposition into compliance and silence, & take dictatorial control

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

The Secret Police have to stay secret because Americans might be mean to them? People on the public payroll have to be... well, public. We pay for them. We deserve to know where our money is going, and what is being done in our name.

Welcome to Day 1 of the new steel tariffs. Think of this as the tale of two cities: 🏭 Pittsburgh makes steel (5k jobs) 🚗 Detroit makes stuff from steel (hundreds of thousands of jobs) Tariffs help one. Hurt the other. Guess who loses?

I must be high, because I’ve been tracking tickets to Slightly Stoopid/Iration for like a month and they’re still asking at least $78/apiece for them. I just don’t see any way this thing sells out at that price point. They’ve gotta come down by day of show, right?

CBO is a nonpartisan, neutral org. Its director, Phill Swagel, worked in the GWBush administration and was appointed by Republican lawmakers to his current post. For many reasons, it's laughable that he or his professional colleagues would be cooking the books to help Democrats.

Trump voters are surprised he’s deporting people they like and not just criminals. But they shouldn’t be.
