I spoke to another person this week—also a US-born citizen—who showed me the DHS email she received informing her that she had to leave the country. Incompetent, evil or both?

JUST IN: President Trump is authorizing the military to occupy and take jurisdiction over public land along the southern border.

This is awful, but at least the stock market is doing well.

Thinking about Thaddeus Stevens a lot lately: “The whole fabric of southern society must be changed, and never can it be done if this opportunity is lost. Without this, this government can never be, as it never has been, a true republic.” The opportunity was lost, now we reap the whirlwind.

Scoop: DOGE now controls how grant opportunities get posted across government. DOGE engineer removed users’ permissions to post to Grants-dot-gov without telling them. Now requests flow thru DOGE-controlled mailbox. with @carolynyjohnson.bsky.social + @hannahnatanson.bsky.social

Here are Trump and Hegseth again discussing a military invasion of Panama for purposes of seizing control of the canal. Note how, as usual, this discussion is leading news around Latin America, but is essentially ignored in major US news outlets.

NEW: NOAA scientists are cleaning office bathrooms and reconsidering critical experiments after the Commerce Department failed to renew contracts for hazardous waste disposal, janitorial services, IT and building maintenance. By @lisalsong.bsky.social

Who is he to have such power and influence over our country?

NEW: Judge Farbiarz directs parties to call him immediately after Mahmoud Khalil's hearing before an immigration judge today to update him on what happened.

Again, one day removed from the 160th anniversary of a war ending that saw more soldiers killed with disease than bullets

Incredible depravity.

Trump and DOGE are planning to cancel hundreds of thousands of Social Security numbers belonging to people who were granted authorization to work in the United States. I’m not even sure where to start discussing the problems with this.

We are literally being led by the dumbest people alive

Even the Third Reich knew you couldn't finance taking over Europe without stealing everyone's money.

Having the ATF run by the dual-hatted secretary of the Army seems even weirder than having the ATF run by the dual-hatted FBI director tbh apnews.com/article/atf-...

You can tell who the Good Guys are because they're the ones smashing a car window to drag a mother away from her child while wearing ski masks.

The SEC is the only agency that could get to the bottom of who did these trades — and they would have to want to know.

9:30 pm PST. INSIDER TRADING. The S&P gained $4.7 trillion in less than an hour today. Some people got in on the action early. Let me show you what that looks like, minute by minute.

They could call it the Trans Pacific Partnership. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
