Stephen Miller probably doesn’t even know (or care, tbf) that some of the Japanese auto makers don’t even sell THEIR OWN larger vehicles in Japan does he.

Hope people understand the trajectory that we’re on: if the executive is arguing that it has no recourse once people here end up in a prison in El Salvador, then that’s the precedent for there being no recourse when this starts happening to United States citizens.

Booker held a filibuster that wasn't a filibuster - and he scheduled it to let him avoid attending his own committee's probe of his Big Tech pals. Oh and Booker and Dems provided unanimous consent to advance a Trump nominee right after Booker's speech. www.levernews.com/health-care-...

NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.

David Sacks--Trump's "Crypto Czar"--raised millions of dollars for Trump during the election & now gets his payback. This is the most blatant, "in-your-face" corruption I've ever seen. If it were Russia or some developing country, it wouldn't be a surprise. But this is America & it's truly sad.

I want to say that while I’m highly critical of Kara Swisher and her pretend world where she’s been critical of Elon for a decade, I have to say: I would buy a book she wrote if it was about how Elon fooled her for so long and how the rest of us could avoid it. That suggestion got me blocked.

If during the Depression FDR had campaigned for the New Deal & then instead continued Herbert Hoover’s elite-friendly policies, the backlash mighta made Charles Lindbergh president. There — now you understand the financial-crisis-era succession from Bush to Obama to Trump.
