5 thoughts about Trump and Alcatraz: 1/ He launders bribes through cryptocurrency. 2/ He kills kids with vaccine disinformation. 3/ He's in Putin's pocket. 4/ He ships people to a foreign torture prison without due process. 5/ He loves to distract us with stunts like Alcatraz. Don't take the bait.

Assaults on science, medicine, education. Hacks in charge of the military. Government run like a Mafia-style protection racket. Magical thinking on the economy. Lies tolerated and even rewarded. This is what national suicide looks like.

Marco Rubio has been terrible for a very long time. He didn’t suddenly get this way a few months ago, despite what Dem senators and the media want to tell themselves. Part of the reason we’re in this national disaster is that the media lowered the bar for Republicans.

A modest request: In reports about Trump's endless, lawless exec orders, maybe point out that he does not have legal power to do these things. Trump did not "make it official" or "make good" on this bullying, as @semafor.com contends. He has ZERO official power to do this. King Canute dept.

The media shouldn’t say Trump is "downsizing" government. He’s purging workers, yes, but will the total end up lower? Or is it simply the creation of a patronage army? Also, he’s not downsizing the power and reach of government. He’s kidnapping people. He’s targeting judges, law firms, colleges.

Overall, this is a reckless and irresponsible budget. For brevity, let me focus in on one thing: $27B for disaster relief. In 2023, FEMA had a $60B budget, with $40B allocated for disaster relief. In addition to this, Congress allocated an additional $100B in emergency aid for disasters. $27B ?

“Deporting” someone is sending them back to their country where they are free to live as citizens. What that asshole is doing is NOT deportation. It’s kidnapping and human trafficking. It’s illegally sending people to USA-funded off shore concentration camps.

Remember when Trump and MAGA influencers falsely claimed the Biden Administration was doing nothing during Hurricane Helene and other storms, despite FEMA providing hundreds of millions in aid? Remember their lies about FEMA funds being diverted, which sowed distrust in recovery efforts? 1/

Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes. The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957. I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.

U.S. corporate profits surged to a record high in Q4 2024, according to Commerce Department data. Remember this as Trump tries to cut the corporate tax rate to 15%. Corporations have used inflation as cover to price-gouge us. Trump wants them to keep more of the spoils.
