Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

The government plans to call Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg to the witness stand. The trial is expected to run nearly two months in a federal courtroom in Washington.

These morons really thought American workers, who want things like paychecks and OSHA regulations, were going to start making microchips for minimum wage.

Warren: "There is no tariff policy. It's just all chaos and corruption. That's all we have going on. And how can you believe any of these guys?
