He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Yep. The media is enabling stupidity, lying, and gaslighting to largely go unchecked.

It’s a joke at this point that Trump still lies about his height and weight, or the 2020 election results, but it’s frightening to what degree the coverage of him just shrugs it all off. That it’s a given that truth and reality have no place in this administration.

Make no mistake — the Trump administration is refusing to comply with the Supreme Court as it pertains to Abrego Garcia's release. This is where we are now. This is what they are doing. This is only the beginning.

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.

He literally tweeted: This is a great time to BUY! Just hours ago. And then he paused tariffs. He’s literally committing crimes in front of the entire world. 😳

This past week, the Chinese learned 1) exactly where Trump's pain points are; 2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches; and 3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president. Highly useful information.

The SEC needs to get the names of every single person who placed a trade during that period. But they’re Trump’s SEC, so they won’t.

Yes, it’s a bit hard to see now, but allowing the president to become a king who can kidnap citizens while also demolishing the global financial system is a small price to pay for getting to keeping 23 trans women from playing college sports.

Bingo. And I’d add on to this one more thing - the world won’t view this just as a “Trump was bad” thing. Because Trump was elected by voters. So the additional damage is that other countries will know that American voters can do it again, even when Trump is gone.

Also, if your institution is laying low or trying to comply in advance ... they're still coming for you. Get your defenses ready and coordinate with other institutions.

I worked for Apple in their new product operations group for several years, working with the factories that perform final assembly of their products. This is so foundationally wrong in so many ways, I wouldn’t know where to start explaining why it’s not feasible.

WTF: “Trump’s treasury secretary Bessent seeks ‘meaningful negotiations’ with more than 50 countries”. BUT why didn’t they negotiate BEFORE imposing massive tariffs that caused market to crash, wiped out nest eggs and are ushering in a recession?! This is beyond incompetence. It’s criminal!

Corrupt Supreme Court justice is one of the worst things a person can be. Honestly. To deliberately take a job to corrupt it, & help criminals hurt people for power, cruelty & profit is the very worst kind of person. There is true evil thriving in our nation, now. We're abandoned. #resist 💙

In fact, it is offensively ridiculous to think that any but a handful of people disappeared by ICE will be able to file habeas corpus, because it relies on them having informed families with connections to available knowledgeable lawyers with time and resources to act instantly.

The reason the IRS has no data-leaking API is not because they don't know how to schedule a "hackathon." Instead it's because the API: 1. Likely violates the Privacy Act of 1974 2. Is not within the IRS's mandate 3. Would be a huge target for attacks against the privacy of all Americans

I think folks on both the right and the left trying to retrofit a theory to Trump's actions really do miss the degree of not just thoughtlessness but outright resistance to thought that characterizes Trump and nearly everyone with whom he has chosen to surround himself.

This is fantastic and accurate. You can’t invent a capability and scalability in a supply base that no longer exists here. But Trump and the administration think you can.

They have a conclusion and are looking for (anecdotal) data to support it…… rather than reviewing the actual data objectively to determine what the conclusion should be.

this is why shipping migrants to third party countries is inherently a due process violation. it very literally removes them from the realm of legal process entirely.
