This is a shockingly mistaken understanding of due process by Stephen Miller. It is likely this misunderstanding that is informing the President’s misunderstanding.

I scanned dozens of newspapers from around the U.S. & world. On average, international newspapers cover the widespread protests against Trump/Musk and for democracy much more prominently on their covers than those in the U.S. This isn’t due to deadlines, protests were daytime in the U.S. #handsoff

This is the direct result of the inane fake "formula" they used to calculate tariff rates. It penalizes poor, export-dependent states who cannot afford large volumes of US exports and who have been forced by colonial and postcolonial economic structures into a dependence on primary commodity exports

If the Trump admin collapses (actually or practically) bc of destroying the economy in a foreseeable way, the law firms who preemptively caved to him will look not just cowardly, but strategically incompetent. Would you hire a firm that is cowardly and strategically incompetent?

Welp, get ready for a bonafide depression. These tariffs will crush so many American businesses--and for no reason at all. Republicans could block this dementia-addled convicted felon but they'd rather burn down the country than risk angering Important Grocery Thoughts Man.

Bunch shows how it is done. The way he points out what the EO legally does (directs the VP, acting as just one of many regents) vs what it claims to do (“change the Smithsonian!”—something POTUS can’t do) is fantastic. We need more of this, less ppl taking EOs as law.

The mainstream media ignores or at best severely downplays unhinged lunacy like this but every cough and gaffe from Democrats is huge front page news for days. People are going to die because of it, just like they did under Reagan, Bush and Bush II. The msm is cancerous.

Elon Musk has committed a blatant felony by offering money for votes in order to help Brad Schimel. This is a chainsaw attack on democracy and the rule of law. Musk should be brought to justice immediately. 🧵

“So many media interviews”? What media interviews? Fox and right-wing podcasters? The premise of this is that he is making himself available to media to answer real questions about the work of DOGE. That simply has never happened - not once. Absurd framing of where we are at.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
