Holding ICE agents accountable for their actions ie. seizing people w/out due process reverberates the Nuremberg trials & The Adolf Eichmann Trial ('61-62) where "I was just following orders" proved to be no defense. Let's hope they see their day in court and have to explain their troubling actions.

How much do you want to bet that after all this pain, carnage and loss of talent - all in the name of “savings” - next year we will learn that spending is up, the deficit is up and the debt is higher?

Russia wants to erase Ukraine as a nation and independent country. Putin is dependent on the war to stay in power. The Russian economy is dependent on arms production. Who thinks Russia will negotiate an end to the war in a situation like this? Right now Putin has zero reasons to end the war.

Almost everywhere you look - soil, oceans, forests, stoves, other tech - the carbon credits market is fatally compromised by junk science, over-claiming and imperatives of profit. The "market" (a term used as code for financialisation and economic power) is not going to solve our existential crisis.

The only real question in the U.S. right now is: fascism — yes or no. About a third of the country feels like a hard “yes.” (Scroll through X-Twitter and it seems like even more.) But is there a large enough share of the other two thirds to push this autocratic nightmare back before it’s too late?

I watched the last episode of Andor on Tuesday, and I will always think of Dedra Meero finally meeting her well-deserved fate whenever I see this ghoulish creature Noem. I hope she finds herself in a similar situation someday (you ought to watch the series, which has a satisfying conclusion).

When Musk purchased the presidency, this must've been part of the deal: using the power of the US government to further enrich himself. We've seen it already with his SpaceX and defense contracts. Now this.

THREAD: We recently heard that the Trump administration was leaning on the government of Gambia to help Elon Musk. For weeks, our team made phone calls, wrote letters and knocked on folks’ doors to try to confirm it. But we were stuck. So our reporters got on a plane to Banjul. 1/

It takes just minutes to read, but I promise it will blow your mind. The Trump-Qatar Scandal is about so much more than a damn plane—and Trump knows it. Even many in major media know it. I cannot explain to you, as a bestselling Trump biographer, why so many in D.C. are hiding what all of us know.

Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it. If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why? Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.

One day, that could be a carload of ICE agents outside the wrong person's house, and then we'll suddenly start hearing Republicans talk about the need for gun control. 🤷‍♀️

I welcome the agreement on our 17th sanctions package against Russia. We are further restricting access to battlefield technology. And we have listed an additional 189 shadow fleet vessels to target Russia's energy exports. This war has to end. We will keep the pressure high on the Kremlin.
