Scott Bessent is easily Trump's most grown-up cabinet member (as low a bar as that is). And yet he committed a grave ethical lapse yesterday, as @pkrugman.bsky.social notes. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/cronyism-c...

Oh. "This is about whether we have functional constitutional government in this country. If the IRS can go after you because of what you think or what you believe or what you do, we'd no longer live in a free country.“

Since the Trump admin continues to claim Mr. Abrego Garcia is a gang member, I thought I'd take the time to put together a timeline, based on all the documents filed in court, which lays out all the "evidence" the government has ever offered. As you'll find out, there's very little "there" there!

Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted: District court wrote: Abrego Garcia "has never been charged with or convicted of any crime."⤵️ Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation. Abandoned argument before court. ⤵️

NOW: According to Trump the Great Depression would have never happened if we had tariffs in 1929. WE DID! AND worse, President Hoover signed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act into law in 1930, which raised import duties by an average of 20%. International trade suffered.

The same people in DC who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it. Today I'm announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate. Because we don't have a minute to wait.

Keep sharing this because it is vital to understanding this moment. The timing of his entry into politics after this trip, the one position he’s held firm on (at odds with past presidents of both political parties) and the unraveling of the post-WW II world order. www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

In case you don’t know me, I’m the publisher of The Bulwark. We started this thing of ours during the first Trump term. Remember? When you’d wake up every morning to see what insane or racist thing the president tweeted while you were sleeping?

Earlier this week my constituent, Badar Khan Suri, a Georgetown postdoctoral fellow, was detained outside his Rosslyn home. He remains in detention despite not being accused of a crime, a clear violation of his constitutional rights. He must be released. beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Harriet Hageman got booed to oblivion last night in her own town hall for pumping up Doge so hard that even her loyal suckers woke up and smelled the bullshit—about five months too late!

The fight for our democracy is not coming. It is here. When I say that we have months, not a year, to save democracy, I'm talking about this coordinated, relentless legal assault on political dissent. 1/ Let me explain a few elements of Trump's plan: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/u...
