“Home-growns”mean any of us. And with no guarantee of due process and administrative incompetence, this could be life sentences in El Salvador for any of us.

Trump is also saying that the once the US has rounded up individuals, with minimal or zero due process, on whatever pretext they choose, they can send them out of the US to face torture, death, life imprisonment, slave labor or other fates that are unconstitutional or illegal in the US.

WOW holy shit they’re gonna ignore the unanimous Supreme Court ruling on bringing Abrego Garcia home to Maryland….Trump just posted that the people they send to El Salvador "are in the sole custody of El Salvador and their future is up to President Bukele and his Government."

This is a very good point that I haven't seen made yet. It's not just Trump that is undermining trust in the US. It is also the inability of US institutions to stop him. And even if you make that "inability to stop him so far," it's already too far to maintain trust.

This is so dystopian. There's no other word for it. A U.S. official hopes that hundreds of people shipped to an El Salvadoran prison are stuck there for life without charge or conviction. This is so deeply un-American, and will be a dark stain on our history. www.axios.com/2025/04/09/k...

There's a lot of ink spilled on how Democrats should win back low-info voters (particularly young men) with rightward shifts when "stop being weak and pathetic" is the better tack. The reason AOC gets respect from low-info voters is that she doesn't let people walk all over her the way Schumer does.

Either he has no idea what he's doing and blinked hard when the world fought back or he is using the entire global economy and the financial security of all Americans in repeated pump-and-dump schemes for himself and his friends, it may be some combination of the two but those are the options.

As a 20 year communications professional I’d like to offer Democrats my most sophisticated advice: While Trump is punching himself in the nuts, you could choose to 1. Also punch him in the nuts; or 2. Punch yourself in the nuts. I strongly advise number 1.

He's going to drop all of these tariffs in a couple months, and then he's going to declare victory and trumpet the fact that the DOW went up 1000 points, and I literally fucking beg the media not to just print that as news without context both in headlines and column inches

The Supreme Court saying deportation targets must have due process (as long as they have a lawyer ready to go with a habeas suit who quickly notices an unannounced disappearing by unmarked agents) is Jim Crow stuff. You technically have rights, says the Court, you just won’t get to exercise them.

The 4-day drop of 12% in the S&P is astounding, but oil prices (WTI chart from Bloomberg below) fell even more, by about 20%. Both are part of a significant market repricing of the growth outlook for the global economy. #economy #markets #oil
