When it comes to targeting immigrants, the administration wants as many numbers as it can get and for those numbers to be as big as possible. They don’t care if the numbers are inflated, quite the opposite. They don’t care about potential value; they care about the immediate value of The Numbers.

Normally if someone tries to kill a governor, the president is briefed, calls the governor, and issues a statement committing resources to bringing perps to justice. It’s not just that we don’t expect Trump to be kind—we have to wonder if he’ll allow a real investigation at all.

I can see why Dictator Trump wants to get rid of NPR. Though rigorously fair, it is also relatively unafraid. "Will the SAVE Act make it harder for married women to vote? We ask legal experts" --NPR

Warren: Whenever there’s a crisis anywhere in the world—terrible things happen—and investors, you know what they do? Investors go to the United States government treasuries, because damn, it just doesn’t get any safer than that. Except with Donald Trump as president.

Aside from the Memory Holing of this study, it also makes total sense that all else being equal, those here without documentation would be less likely to commit crimes since they generally want to keep a low profile.

To understand the hurdles we must overcome we need to specifically examine the cravenness, soullessness, lack of moral fiber & capacity for brutality that is a baseline for people like Marco Rubio, who will act as agents of white supremacy in exchange for adjacency to people who view them as dogs.

Can we dispense with the fiction that Trump is earnestly trying to bring back American manufacturing now? He's just a pudding brain who is doing this for narcissistic and corruption-based reasons. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

Trump is evil and severely mentally ill and not very bright so he brazenly broadcasts his evil right in front of us. Behind him is a Christian nationalist group of old white men. They keep telling us all this is normal. Stealing our benefits, killing democracy. This is not normal. It’s gaslighting.

Trumpers' attacks on free expression reinforce the singular importance of the First Amendment, and also demonstrate that they never actually cared much about it.

U.S. consumer confidence is the lowest it has been in 45 years - FT. Americans are more pessimistic about the economy today because of Trump than they were under the pandemic or the 2009 housing crash.

I mean this is not a big deal in the scope of things but the US produces less than 1% of the coffee it consumes and there's no room to chance that because there's nowhere to grow it. What kind of utter dumbass puts a protective tariff on coffee under those circumstances?

Chaos. Crashes. Confusion. That’s what the Trump-Musk cuts to Social Security phone service caused. Retirees and people with disabilities should never be forced to navigate a glitchy website or wait in line to access benefits they paid into and earned. wapo.st/43Rq5ca

The U.S. Senate is the only thing standing in the way of voter suppression. The SAVE Act will make it harder for citizens to vote without passports or birth certificates. Tell your senator to VOTE NO on the SAVE ACT. Flood the switchboard. Click the link and send a message: bit.ly/4hZ7BK7

They’ll do it in a few high profile cases to set examples. People will say, “No way this holds up in court.” Maybe. But we now know the plan: they’ll do it first, then dare the courts to stop them. And this too will be very difficult for courts to undo. This is end of democracy stuff.

I am proud to join my colleagues in filing an amicus brief standing up to Trump’s unconstitutional and un-American attack on birthright citizenship. Let me be clear: If you’re born on U.S. soil, you are a U.S. citizen. That’s not just common sense—it’s the Constitution.

Trump just made it easier for gun dealers to break the law and get away with it. This week, ATF rescinded its zero-tolerance policy that cracked down on gun dealers who willfully break the law. The policy was working.

Thanks, Steve. The brutal reality, tragically, is that Senate Democrats under Schumer or a crushing disappointment. They are sending the signal that this is not materially different than the first Trump term. Democracy is crumbling while they fiddle. There are exceptions, but not very many.
