1) The presser with Bukele with theater designed to get credulous journos to repeat the "terrorism" claim w/o question. Remember: THESE VERY SAME PEOPLE freed adjudged Jan6 terrorists on Day One. 2) The WAY in which they flouted courts provides more surface area (bc this was not classified).

Today the Trump administration is openly defying two court decisions (at least) — SCOTUS in the Abrego Garcia case and Judge McFadden (a Trump appointee) in the Associated Press case. There was a stay pending appeal in the AP case, but it ended yesterday. apnews.com/article/trum...

I really do not think people outside America comprehend the depth of poverty and inequality that exists here, in the richest nation to ever exist.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

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.

Democracy isn’t dying in darkness it’s being dismantled at the hands of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. @allisonjriggs.bsky.social won this election fair and square back in November. Her opponent is a petulant Confederate cosplayer who can’t handle losing. Concede Jefferson Griffin.

Term 2 Trump foreign policy - from tariffs to NATO to soft power to China and Russia - is an epic mess. One reason seems to be that the administration is operating with two conflicting, equally flawed, views of the world and the US's place in it. 🧵

If we weren't getting 16 levels of insanity out of Washington, this attempt to steal an election in North Carolina would be front-page news. It is today at @theprospect.bsky.social, from @gurleygg.bsky.social: prospect.org/politics/202...

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don't match their birth certificates. Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

“For now, it seems as if the president’s economy-nuking bad math was somehow too stupid to implement, even for this uniquely depraved administration.” Heavy emphasis on “[at least] for now”

I watched a great video the other day about tech designed by the west being forced onto the developing world, without considering how the tech is actually used. It’s a specific example, but sums up the tech industry as a whole.

Real damage has been done to our economy. Trump is to blame. 💰Consumers will pay a 10% tax on things we buy 📱Goods coming from China will cost 2x as much 🧊Businesses are frozen & can’t invest until they see which tariffs stick Consumers & businesses will feel the pain from Trump's tariff tantrum.
