"On May 6, a reporter asked Trump 'what type of progress' his overtures to Putin had achieved. 'A lot,' said Trump. 'I think Russia wanted to take all of Ukraine, and they’ve stopped.' They hadn’t stopped." ICYMI @saletan.bsky.social on Trump's myth of deterrence: www.thebulwark.com/p/myth-of-tr...

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

The decision to pursue charges against Abrego García now, after he wasn't charged in 2022, led to the resignation of Ben Schrader, a high-ranking federal prosecutor who spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Nashville and was most recently the chief of the criminal division.

“Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.”

It's beyond depressing to see the way outlets like ABC News and the Washington Post are covering the very thin allegations against Abrego Garcia-- and mininizing the news that the ADA there resigned rather than prosecute this case. THAT is the news, but they're pushing the WH line. Infuriating

Something tells me that when the Deputy Chief of Staff at DHS tweets to his 1.3M followers that Abrego Garcia is a criminal terrorist monster who will serve a long prison sentence, that might taint the jury pool. @aclu.org

In an act of integrity and resistance, a supervisor in the Nashville federal prosecutor’s office resigned over how the Abrego Garcia case was being handled. The charges are bogus, pure political theater meant to justify a wrongful abduction.

I think our big problem is the Democratic party is decent at governing and terrible at culture war tactics, and the Republican party is terrible at governing and great at culture war tactics. And the media loves culture war stories.

Musk is "going through a multi-year, drug-fueled nervous breakdown." And Trump "has all of the levers of the federal government... to hurt Tesla: He can rig tax credits against the company; cancel government contracts; reward competitors." @jvl.bsky.social on Trump vs. Musk: It's not an even fight.

I'd put this a bit more sharply than @steveinskeep.bsky.social probably can: Trump simply does not understand any boundary between himself and the government. He has no sense of the public interest and believes the government is an extension of himself personally. open.substack.com/pub/steveins...

Sincerely—not saying this to stir the pot—this is weak and both Trump and Don Jr. will know it. If Vance wanted to prove his loyalty, he would have knifed Musk; not just put out a generic "I am loyal to the king" tweet.

Amusing to see the Efficient Market™ reveal TSLA stock had a corruption premium of >$100 billion, additional value untethered to the company's performance or even policy/legislation, but rather solely to a belief Musk had the President's favor, which he no longer does. P.S. Now down 10.5%

One thing I said in my AMA is that whichever of the two seeks to deescalate first is likely the one most afraid of what the other can do or what the other knows. Want to know when the back-and-forth ended immediately today? When Musk learned that Trump was looking into his immigration paperwork.

Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs. Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law. Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more. And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.
