VP Vance just came to the Senate to cast the tie-breaking vote to keep Trump’s disastrous tariff policies in place. On a day that our economy contracted, you’d think they would wake up to the fact that their national sales tax is hurting our economy. But they don't seem to care.

Trump's failed Tariffs will cost at least 770,000 jobs in the US by the end of the year. If Trump continues his deranged Tariff war for longer, that number is expected to increase drastically. budgetlab.yale.edu/research/sta...

Harvard just handed all school and disciplinary records of international students to DHS. Absolutely contemptible. They're putting their own students in danger and lying by telling them that everything is ok. These students could be black bagged to Louisiana or El Salvador after this.

Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, three years in we only took a sliver of the country at the cost of 800,000 men. Would the conventional wisdom be that we are winning? No? Then why do some think Russia is?

Incredible content here👌 "Apple willfully chose not to comply with this Court’s Injunction. It did so with the express intent to create new anticompetitive barriers... That it thought this Court would tolerate such insubordination was a gross miscalculation. As always, the cover- up made it worse."

New: We interviewed six detained Venezuelans who the Trump admin accused of being gang members and likely nearly sent to El Salvador this month without due process. They—and their relatives—insist they are innocent and provided extensive evidence to support that. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in shock—and who could blame him? Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens. This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬 Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

This is getting overlooked: Trump openly admitted he hasn't even asked Bukele to return Abrego Garcia, claiming his lawyers haven't said he has to. Either Trump is knowingly flouting SCOTUS or his lawyers have deceived him. Exchange w/ @speechboy71.bsky.social: newrepublic.com/article/1945...
