Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people. Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

If rolling out this choreographed “How to talk to your kids about why empty shelves are good, actually” campaign isn’t enough to convince you that they know what’s coming and how bad it’s going to be, I’m not sure what it will take.

A telling clip. The WSJ Editorial Page has been rightfully brutal to Trump on his tariffs, and his lashing out suggests that he's very sensitive about it. He knows it's a political loser, and he's not keen on what he views should be a reliable backer - Murdoch's WSJ - saying otherwise.

When folks can afford fewer things at higher prices, economists describe this as a decline in real income, and a widespread fall in real income is called a recession.

In 2019, one thing I heard many times from female Dem primary voters was that the 2016 town hall debate had infuriated them - Trump "loomed over"* Clinton, and they were frustrated that she didn't call him out, push back. These images are poison for Whitmer. *that exact phrase

People are baffled by this, and I've joked about it before but it's the real reason: they think gaming DW-NOMINATE and similar scores w/ inconsequential confirmation votes gets them "bipartisan" cred in a way anybody cares about, and not tagged as "the most liberal senator." That's seriously it.

Casar: If anyone ever doubted that Trump, Musk, Bezos, and the billionaires are all on one team, just look at what happened at Amazon today. Bezos immediately caved and walked back a plan to tell Americans how much Trump’s tariffs are costing them. Bezos who spent 40 million on Melania’s documentary

This is what happens when you get rid of due process—you deport U.S. citizens, even children with cancer. This administration is poised to break our laws for the next four years. The stain it will leave on our nation will last for much longer.

This is much the same logic as arresting the judge in WI. There is obviously nothing wrong with asking law enforcement, including masked officials, to confirm they are, in fact, law enforcement. The goal is to create an absolutely subservient population.

As others have noted, it’s truly wild to see Terry Doughty write this. He is one of the most extreme MAGA judges appointed in Trump’s first term, author of many wacky, hard-right rulings reversed on appeal. When even he is appalled by an illegal deportation—it’s a sign of something. Wow.

They arrested a sitting Judge. This is insane. Every day, the Trump admin commits another blatant act of lawlessness — not just to test our systems, but to test us. I will not grow weary of saying it plainly: We have no kings in America. We must not be silent or look away.
