Columbia, you were cowed by fucking clowns.

This'll be in my newsletter today, but I talked w Conor Lamb after one of his Indivisible town halls and thought he had a good answer to the "should Dems talk about this deportation stuff" question.

Don’t worry, there’s at least still a firm, steady hand on the economy!

"people are being grabbed off the street and being sent to foreign prison camps and it could happen to you" is not even remotely an exaggeration if that's not a fight worth having, what is

"Unlike other issues, Trump is polling OK on immigration" isn't a reason for Democrats to ignore that issue, but rather a reason for them to attack it head on. Public opinion can actually be moved, Democrats. And on this issue there's a lot to push back on.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

Democrats have to accept battle over immigration, because it is the only issue propping him up now.

John, go fuck yourself.

Van Hollen: And it's also important that people understand this case is not just about one man. It's about protecting the constitutional rights of everybody who resides in the United States of America.

This is indeed incredible. “Conservative judge” doesn’t quite cut it as a description of Wilkinson. He is one of the most deferential-to-government-power judges in the country. When he writes like Justice Sotomayor it’s signs-and-wonders level.

It’s afraid

Speaking of social media pickling your brain...

“We need a better hero than George Floyd…”

To all the people saying that their year-2000 selves could not have imagined David Brooks and Bill Kristol being this edgy, I'll add Matt Drudge choosing a frame that is *fire*.

Leopards eatin’ good tonight

Legit the best thing any Dem has done to date in response to Trump and it happened because he cared more about serving his constituents than public polling about immigration.

Evil must be punished. That’s all I’ll say here/now.

Relieved this man is still alive and Trump admin officials should rot in a jail cell for what they did to him.

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

this is the importance of politicians pressing on the gulag, compared to only tariffs. yes, tariffs are awful. they are insane. they will make life much worse for a lot of people. but hearing we're abducting people and shipping them off to the foreign camps makes something _snap_ inside of you.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Welcome (back) to The Jungle.

He won’t enact tariffs He won’t start a trade war He won’t cause a sell off ***YOU ARE HERE TODAY*** He won’t ban shorting He won’t delist ADRs He won’t fire Powell He won’t spark a banking crisis He won’t do capital controls He won’t close markets He won’t default on Treasuries

Interest rates rising Stocks falling Economic growth falling The Fed not cutting Inflation likely rising again It's hard to imagine one person creating a worse economic situation this quickly

Gavin bricks another layup.
