Attention: Musk’s staffers are now seeking access to a sensitive Medicare database as part of their crackdown on undocumented immigrants. DOGE was never about saving the U.S. money—it’s about building a government-run machine to weaponize personal data.

The Trump administration is pretending to comply with the Supreme Court’s order to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador’s infamous Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo—while refusing to actually do so, @adamserwer.bsky.social writes. https://theatln.tc/k6OLmbC3

Why hasn’t Trump or the AG said anything publicly to condemn the arson attack on Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family? Silence is complicity.

Remember when the GOP pretended to care about freedom of speech? Now they're revoking student visas, arresting Green Card holders and harassing citizens for exercising their free speech rights. Downright un-American.

House Republicans voted to overturn the CFPB's cap on excessive overdraft fees — which was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually. The House also struck down CFPB oversight over payment apps run by Big Tech companies. The GOP is the party of letting you get ripped off.

Call me crazy, but I don't think insider trading is included in that "presidential immunity" bullshit.

Any traders with inside information that Trump was going to walk back his tariffs — some of them, presumably, Trump family members and cronies — just made a fortune. It all feels like chaos until you look more closely at who is winning.

Why would a leader tank his own country's economy? It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook. Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump. But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time. Let your reps hear from you. 5calls.org/issue/trump-...

Who benefits from an economic crisis? Trump does. He declares an economic emergency—then manufactures one—which allows him to expand his power. Under the National Emergencies Act (NEA), the president can unlock more than 120 special statutory powers. No wonder he was just out golfing—crisis pays.
