So the admin. arrested a green-card activist on pretext but clearly over speech, revoked his green-card without process and is now holding him God-knows-where, while his citizen wife frets in the dark. That's...just tyranny. The act of a tyrant. In America, we used to know what to do with tyrants.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America. Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

I feel like the strongest barrier to true American Groyper nationalists going worldwide is how fucking esoteric and parochial it is. What the hell does the John Birch society prolcaiming "gamers" as the "true backbone of American society" mean in England? Or France?

Donald Trump’s cuts to Medicaid will blow a massive hole in our state budget and leave thousands without care. There’s a storm coming from Washington. Republicans and Democrats should work together to protect our state from Trump. Defend our people, not the President.

One thing I wonder is if the Trump/MAGA folks have not perhaps miscalculated in thinking that no one will very much mind when they 'downshift' the US economy to be more like Hungary or Russia. Crucially, Hungary and Russia's economies never ran well, even before their current regimes.

the thing about chasing what you think is public opinion is that if and when things turn you will have made a bunch of statements and taken a bunch of stances that you’ll have to disavow. probably a better strategy just to say what you actually believe and stand by it. anyway, this guy sucks.

There's a strange sort of insanity to giving a speech about how you are the best thing since sliced bread the evening after the second stock market rout in two days. Just an alternate universe they force themselves to live in.

I’m headed to a corn and soybean farm in Cannon Falls to hear about the impact of Trump’s tariffs on Minnesota farmers. Farming is a tough job, and it certainly isn’t made any easier by two out-of-touch billionaires cutting off economic opportunities.

Gonna just pull this up to the main timeline: there are things you can to to prepare for a recession (and it sure seems like one may be coming) and to handle it when it comes, so you don't get unnecessarily burned.

The state of the union is that the President is spitting in the face of the law. He is letting an unelected billionaire fire cancer researchers and wreck federal agencies like the Social Security Administration at will. I won't be attending tomorrow's Joint Address.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

So I know there's so many things going on with US politics right now, & I don't usually post as I don't have anything new to contribute. But if the House passes HR 22 SAVE ACT, it will stop the 2.2 million voters who live abroad from voting - including me - by requiring in-person registration.
