the transfer to El Salvador of US deportees is, per Pres Bukele, a straight up contract that has “nothing to do w/foreign policy.” The fees we are paying makes their entire prison system “sustainable.” Don’t see how US can make argument that bringing A-G back is some sensitive foreign policy matter

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

77 million people voted for deregulation (Trump). Did they know they were also voting for pollution, cancer, and climate chaos loved ones and future generations? We can now be poisoned on purpose—without a check.

This is what its like to work in the Trump administration now. When a career official objected to declaring that living immigrants were dead on legal and ethical grounds, security guards went to his office and told him to leave. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Apple CEO Tim Cook donated $1 million to Donald Trump’s inauguration. Looks like he’s getting a big return on his investment.

Notice how Lutnick's statements about how the tariffs will operate are proving consistently false. Is he not in the loop?

Remember I told you that the plan is to get the “minerals deal” with Ukraine, then “realize” you can’t get the profits on it (infrastructure isn’t there, and… war), so then Russia could “buy US out” of the deal and hereby own it all? Think who actually needs the pipeline to have EU’s dependence ⬇️

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

Fantastic reporting on a topic relevant to everyone who deals with corrupt, greedy health insurance companies (that claim they are "non-profit" lol.)

Trump: Tariffs are perfect and beautiful and mandatory and I won't back down Also Trump: here are 37,498 tariff exemptions for companies who've greased me

Marjorie Taylor Greene buying Apple, Pi, Qualcomm, Dell, Amazon, and Lam stocks seems a lot more sus before the tariff exemptions on electronics components, smartphones, semiconductors, and computers. Martha Stewart would like a word.

Big News has been a joke for years now; Gannett has gobbled up small rural local papers like the one I grew up with in SW PA, and gutted them. This is just the logical conclusion. Now the only news source out in the hinterland will be Fox News. :(

The Trump people claim to be fighting antisemitism, and the media often accept that framing. I believe, on the contrary, that these actions are antisemitic in intention and in execution. I explain in a short video: snyder.substack.com/p/fomenting-...

In Europe, Steve Witkoff is getting a lot of attention. In the US, not so much. He is Trump's actual negotiator in chief with Russia, and he has no diplomatic skills. He seems however to be very well versed in Kremlin propaganda which he spouts at every opportunity. He's Putin's man.

Tale as old as time. Big businesses who make friends with the kleptocrats get special exemptions from the regulatory burdens so they can lock in their market position, rather than removing the regulatory burdens across the board.

The degree to which right-wing operatives are gifted an unobstructed path to prestige journalism outlets is rather underdiscussed. I never tire of pointing out that CBS News once hired a Politics News Director whose entire pre-CBS professional background consisted of being a GOP political staffer

As a kid living in Section 8 housing, I learned how important it is to have access to a safe, stable, affordable place to call home. As Mayor, I've built and preserved more affordable housing than any admin in 20 years while dramatically increasing construction of new housing, period.

The brain drain is going to have awful long term effects on the U.S. But even moreso, if this woman is deported back to Putin's Russia, her life as she has known it will be over and the world will be deprived of the fruits of her scientific gifts. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/s...

So remember how I said we weren’t getting updates about changes to policy? Yah well they’re for real about that. Yesterday we got confirmation that SSA will not do press release or Dear Colleague letters anymore. All announcements will be posted to X. Yup. True story. I want a new timeline. 🤬🤬🤬
