"We always have to obey the laws, but..." - Donald Trump discussing sending Americans to foreign concentration camps.

Why is American sorghum cheaper than Chinese sorghum?

Europe is worried the US is spying on them

No action by Congress, just "grab 'em by the money." Musk is stealing from seniors.

I think I know who the real fraud is.

@team-gotc.bsky.social Good question!

It could be any of us, folks.

Letter from Dem Senator Chris Van Hollen (MD) requesting a meeting with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele To discuss MD father Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return "If Kilmar is not home by midweek – I plan to travel to El Salvador this week to check on his condition and discuss his release."

Excellent. At issue is not the soundness of the policy, though the policy will make most people worse off. The issue is the unconstitutionality of its imposition.

Things were arguably better when we were talking about Arnold Palmer's penis.

US university endowments total about $870 billion. I'd like to see them come together, combat this effort to destroy them, and put resources toward eradicating MAGA ideology. Harvard rejects Trump administration’s demands with federal funding at risk www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

I would support charges against the US brought by the International Criminal Court.

Pistachy-Os, pistachio-flavored breakfast cereal. What do you think?

This is the U.S. Government.

Serious point: This might be the most interventionist American government in my lifetime. The price of just about every good reflects the good thinking of the Commissars in Washington DC implementing their 5-year plan for National Greatness, rather than market forces.

What is it with Gen Z and water bottles?

"The president’s decision-making has been so erratic that at one point this week, the administration’s top trade official was interrupted in the middle of testimony before Congress because the president had just changed the policy the official was defending." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/o...

Pearre told Coulter that the plan was illegal, cruel and risked declaring the wrong people dead. But his objections did not go over well with Trump political appointees. And so on Thursday, the security guards in Pearre’s office told him it was time to leave. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I'm thankful that, on this day in 1906 and again in 1911, this country welcomed my paternal grandfather and then my maternal great grand parents into this country. And I am ashamed at the cruel and incompetent treatment of immigrants today.

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?

The Trump Trade War is obviously insanely disruptive. And will be experienced by many as destructive. Meanwhile, the Trump Administration is incapable of explaining what they are trying to accomplish or why their policies might work. It's wildly unpopular among everyone except Republicans.

Under a free trade regime, the pain has also been offset by long-term gains in jobs and investment. They just intend to redistribute any gains to other folks now. www.wsj.com/economy/trad...

“It’s like being in a horror film where you know something out there [wants] to kill you but you never know when or how or who it is,” one employee from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development said.

“This is a systemic risk that threatens the very foundation of the financial sector." - Günther Thallinger, a member of the supervisory board of Allianz SE. And Trump has stopped funding programs that he says cause climate anxiety. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/c...

It happened again. I just got off the phone after an hour-long conversation with a true expert in a certain topic. And now I feel I know nothing about anything.

US measles battle hindered by confusion over health secretary response - www.reuters.com/business/hea... Vaccination is not treatment. American kooks, crooks, and grifters are killing people.

Your wallet is being cleaned out by expert pickpockets. This is criminal. Literally criminal. I call for an IMMEDIATE investigation into who knew what, when, and what they did with the info. You can bet the Admin and many here in DC are considerably richer tonight than they were this morning.

They’re using Jews as human shields for their fascist agenda.

If you liked Trump University, you'll love Trump's America. All sales are final.

Another way the Trump Administration is memory holing climate change.

How is anyone tolerating this?

To those of you who live in countries where the government consistently lies to its people, how do you cope? Because that's the U.S. now.
