Hauled off to a detention center WEARING CHAINS AROUND HER WRISTS AND ANKLES and she'll be held there FOR A MONTH before she gets to see a judge, all because she made an illegal right turn on red. Jesus. And remember -- that ugliness is the due process that the Trump folks whine is too much.

If a Democrat did this, it would lead Fox News for months.

The guy who did the hard but right thing and conceded an election that may well have been stolen has to hate Trump with a rage hotter than the sun.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Fun Tariff Facts: during the depression the US lost access to many imported paper products. They were replaced with an unusually tough paper stock made of hemp from the Philippines (then a US colony, and tariff exempt). Anyway, that’s why they were, and still are, called Manila folders / envelopes.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

Remember when a group of white nationalists in 2017 menaced anti-racist protesters in Charlottesville chanting "Jews will not replace us" & then the President at the time said there were "many fine people on both sides" of that event? The feds investigating antisemitism should look into that guy.

Me, June 6, 2024: “Conway envisioned [that if reelected] Trump would ‘try to violate every law,’ [and] predicted to host Ronny Chieng … ‘You’re gonna see capital flow, both human and financial, like we’ve never seen from the U.S. before.’”

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

Reality TV show called Uber-Lambo, set in LA. Unsuspecting folks call for an Uber, get a Lamborghini. And the driver complains about how he needs the tips to make his car payments. When ratings drop, you launch Celebrity UberLambo. Carrot Top. Pauly Shore. It’s inexplicable that I’m not rich…

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Americans thinking they have won over China really shows how little Americans know about China. Fox News might feed the propaganda. But the reality for America is dire to say the least. If this really escalates. China will play hardball. China will do two things

I realize this is over Donald Trump's head, but killing foreign tourism will increase the trade deficit.

youtu.be/rStL7niR7gs?... This dark vision of democracy based in game theory is worth wider notice at this moment. It helps us understand what is happening with Trump and the United States. Because the hope for democracy is not that our elites are necessarily better as individuals...THREAD...

One thing we may not be accurately assessing is the danger of the dollar losing its place as the international fiat currency. Trump is putting that status at risk in several ways. First, and most directly, these tariffs will hurt our economy, and eventually, our currency.
