During the Obama era, CIA recruited from top design programs to hire a person to adapt the PDB for the iPad. During the Trump 2.0, era Tulsi is hiring FoxNews alums to make a Truman show.

Putin has earned more money selling oil and gas to the West than the West has provided in military aid to Ukraine. So there’s that.

ICE wears masks because they are ashamed. Vought lies in TV because he is ashamed. There is shame inside these people. They should be told so to their faces. “Why are you so ashamed that you lie to us so obviously? Shouldn’t you be proud of your achievements?”

Pretty wild to make your entire case about how immigrants are lawless freeloaders, but having to go to their workplaces and court hearings to arrest them.

Spare me the fake outrage. None of these people showing up for court are criminals of any kind. As a prosecutor, I worked with many ICE officers who arrested violent criminals. None of them wore masks. Many of your agents are clearly ashamed to carry out your orders.

Of the 1000 ways Vance beclowned himself here, I shall add that the Trump 1.0 digital campaign staff at San Antonio was all foreign workers from SCL/Cambridge Analytica with 1 US citizen (Matt Oz.) who acted as the conduit for advice to loophole campaign finance laws.

US Unis were already staring down the precipice of the demographic blip causing a surplus of “seats” but now with international students being scared away and potential of domestic loans being kneecapped by Trump’s budget bill, it’s hard to see how we won’t see a wave of closings in coming decade.

They are hellbent on destroying the university system because graduates don’t vote for them. I had not known about the BBB provision to cap student loans to the mean which will lead to institutionally fatal drops in domestic enrollment across the country. www.forbes.com/sites/alison...

Every day trump acts more and more like a communist seeking central control over the economy but no one will say it because it sounds too crazy to be true.

This bespoke exception for the Fed is one of the most brazenly made-up things I've ever seen the Supreme Court do (which is saying something). There is no principled basis to distinguish the Fed from other independent agencies. The conservative justices just don't want Trump to crash the market!

The Bond Market as the check & balance of last resort being the true grade of Trump’s handling of the economy. (Like golf, the lowest yield wins the game.)

During the campaign, Trump said this: "You graduate from a college, I think you should get, automatically as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country. That includes junior colleges, too." This would be the absolute reverse of that. Maybe a WH reporter could ask him.

Great news! I'm told a few moments ago US Institute of Peace Board Chair Amb. George Moose went to the USIP building where he and legal counsel were able to retake possession after the recent court decision. They were accompanied by a small team securing the building and assessing maintenance needs.

I have been working on stablecoin policy for five years. Every word Sen Warren says here is spot on. With this bill advancing, I feel like I’m watching a car crash in slow motion and there’s nothing I can do to stop it. It’s devastating
