Trump got caught on a hot mic saying he wants to deport U.S. citizens—insinuating to El Salvador’s president he intends to send “homegrown criminals” there. Let’s be clear: He’s talking about Americans. This isn’t tough talk. It’s dictator talk. He’d burn the Constitution if it got in his way.

I really do think we’re well beyond this point. If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about “politics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.

Someone needs to tell these assholes that no one cares about their feelings. They need to either leave the firm or shut up and accept the disgrace that comes with being affiliated with collaborating with Trump.

The Lithuanian president showed up to honor dead American soldiers as their remains departed his country. The American president did not show up to receive their remains as they arrived in the US. He had a golf tournament to get to.

Now that Wall Street correctly believes, in light of his tariffs, that Trump is insane, is it really going to look with favor upon the law firms that shamelessly caved to him? Asking for a profession.

The dollar is in free fall, stock market is down, and the price of groceries is up. Is this the “Golden Age” Trump promised you?

This is open grift and corruption from the President of the United States. And if you can’t admit that it’s a problem, you’re in the grip of a cult. Every time he does this, he degrades our entire country. It’s also sad. Many Americans who trust him will lose their savings.

You know what the real scam of Social Security is? If you make above $168,800/year, the government STOPS taxing you on every dollar above that. Billionaires like Musk and Trump NEVER pay their fair share — and now they want to take OUR money away!!?!

The President of the United States is pretty relaxed about the rest of us experiencing economic disruption so long as the world’s richest man can keep selling overpriced cars assembled for him by underpaid workers who get fired when they attempt to unionize.

Where is the Big Law response? Trump has issued EOs that target specific lawyers or firms solely based on the fact that they represented clients or advanced interests disfavored by the government. It’s an existential threat to the legal industry. But thus far it’s been crickets from Big Law.

🧵 This is a perfect example of what I've be describing as disordered discourse, and it's threat to democracy. Politicians are afraid to speak openly about key issues. Why? Because disordered discourse has captured the system itself—forcing obedience, punishing dissent, and making truth irrelevant.

Someone needs to explain to our Sec of Commerce how capitalism works. America has a GLOBAL TRADE SURPLUS on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise focused. It is why we dominate in tech globally.
