Canada welcomes the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision on the United States’ tariffs. It confirmed what we’ve always held: that the American tariffs against Canadian goods are unlawful and unjustified.

I just think there needs to be more attention paid to the uniquely creepy, mendacious, awfulness of Speaker Mike Johnson. Don’t underestimate the depth of his ambition and breadth of what he is willing to do to never return to Shreveport.

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

For those not familiar, here's the opening paragraph in the Wikipedia entry for the term "remigration," a term which popped up in Europe over a decade ago and until very recently has not been part of the U.S. political discourse. It is NOT a neutral term. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remigra...

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

Another win!!! Now release him. A federal judge just ruled that the law used to detain Mr. Khalil is likely unconstitutional. Why? Because it’s too vague and was never meant to apply to someone like him a U.S. resident who never left the country.

Phang: If you have to resort to deceit to get something done, that tells me what you’re doing is wrong. What’s happening is a dup-and-scoop: people are being duped into going to court, their cases get dismissed, and then they’re scooped up by ICE and deported under expedited removal.

The political media has failed us. The tariff issue is a major one, and apparently it is continuing. Very few in the media mentioned in the campaign that Trump's tariff plans were clearly illegal and unconstitutional. @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com is one of the few.

Today marks the first Memorial Day observance without my Brother in Law who served in the Gulf War with the Marines. His service left him emotionally wounded and physically wrecked. He died of complications from Gulf War Syndrome last November. I hope his soul has finally found peace.

Immigration court arrests continued across the nation yesterday (and are likely ongoing today). Yesterday, in NYC, 30 ICE officers swarmed the immigration court, holding lists of names of people to arrest. All were dutifully attending their immigration hearings and many had pending asylum claims.

Elon Musk is what happens when white-collar crime meets fascist fetishism. He didn’t just exploit tech — he weaponized it, sold us out, and sabotaged our institutions. He’s not a visionary. He’s a fucking enemy of the state.

Not that this is a healthy way for a country to function, but if blue state govs were smart, they’d allocate a lot of money to drain red state public universities of their talent. Keeps it from going to, say, Europe, and would give the blue states a generational boost in econ and cultural power.

Rahm Emanuel better figure out how to win w/out the Black vote if he’s going to keep using the word “woke” as a weapon against Dems. That goes for any candidate parroting GOP lines & taking cues from Ron DeSantis. “Woke” is a word rooted in the Black community—it’s not yours to twist into a slur.

🇺🇦🤩 Ukraine has developed an automatic air defense turret "Sky Sentinel" with AI. The main task is the effective destruction of Shahed-136 type UAVs, but it is capable of detecting and shooting down both much smaller targets and high-speed cruise missiles in all cases almost autonomously.

Ugh AT&T charged me over 180 bucks for the embassy calls to Argentina last month and 40 bucks of that was Federal tax and fees. I think I just got tariffed for phone calls.

Nothing feels quite as dirty as Trump tariffing me on the death of a family member. But the bastard’s tariffs got me on the phone calls to the US Embassy. AT&T felt bad about it and credited my account 50 bucks. But I still feel icky.
