The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

A topic I discussed with Rahm Emanuel on our podcast: the extraordinary cooperation during the Bush-Obama transition of 2008-09. The trust that developed between outgoing and incoming was one of the finest hours of US government. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTfV...

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

More than two years after the blockbuster launch of ChatGPT, artificial intelligence continues to be the white hot center of venture capital and the business world at large. #ForbesAI50 (Illustration by Grabriel Grabriel Garble for Forbes) http://on.forbes.com/63327FIGX7

New: "Lawmakers Traded Up To $1.3 Million In Tesla Stock After Musk Endorsed Trump" me, for @forbes.com 1/

Meanwhile in Russia: pundits rejoiced about Ovechkin's record and Kash Patel talking to Russian state TV. State Duma member Leonid Kalashnikov said everyone in Russia should support Trump, and he should remain in power in the U.S. for as long as possible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTzX...

Almost immediately after dictator Bashar al-Assad fled, Syria came under attack. Israeli airstrikes have hit several hundred times since December. Syria's new leaders are starting to speak up.

NEW: Rümeysa Öztürk says she's had 4 painful asthma attacks in ICE custody, and not only is her asthma going untreated but a nurse tore off her hijab, saying, "You need to take that thing off your head." www.aclum.org/sites/defaul...

"Someone says oh my God, we have wrongfully deported somebody and they are in prison in a foreign country, what should we do about it? And the adult in the room is not saying 'get that person back here immediately.'" @weissmann11.bsky.social talks cruelty and lawlessness with @timmiller.bsky.social

When I get to the Senate, I'll support a bill to ban Congressional stock trading on day one. No elected official should be cashing in while the American people see their retirements go down the drain.

'Basis Trades' ➡️ Treasuries sell-off. Only a few WS hedges may be substantially responsible. 🤔 www.thetimes.com/us/business/...

Go, Bowling Green!!

Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.

WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: “President Trump’s across-the-board tariffs will change the world order in many ways, and one winner is already emerging: Xi Jinping. The Chinese President has had an excellent week.” 👉 www.wsj.com/opinion/xi-j...

Yesterday @joshgerstein.bsky.social wrote “Reuveni essentially says that the government is handling the case contrary to his advice.” If Reuveni said words to that effect, then I’m not surprised he’s been placed on leave.

#HANDSOFF This is the little traditionally conservative town of Medina OH These are just the corners. The entire town square is full.

Good call.

The #HandsOff protest in Culver City is HUGE—multiple thousands here (I heard multiple tens of thousands in the biggest Los Angeles protest, in DTLA). Safe & positive vibes. Cars are beeping in solidarity. Wide demographic but a LOT of older folks and a lot of concern about Medicare/Social Security.

Man, the big huge protests in places like Boston, DC, NY, Chicago, and Minneapolis are awe-inspiring. But my heart is gonna explode looking at these crowds of people out in tiny Maine towns and super red Alabama towns. Places where 15% of the population is on the street corner with more coming!

Across the nation, we’re making our voices heard: The Trump administration is not above the law. 📍 Columbus, OH

#disappeared #ICE

This one should be an award winner

Salt Lake City showed up

The Germans are seeing all of this. 🇺🇸

HOLY SHIT. I grew up two stoplights over from Flower Mound. I never in my life would’ve expected to see a protest like this there. WOW.

Half an hour before scheduled start hundreds of people gathered on Colorado Blvd in Pasadena, eight wheee the Rose Parade goes every year. Crowd trends older.

Portland knows how to show up! #handsoff #teslatakedown

Reposting cool photos that had no alt text. This is from Utah, apparently!

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

HANDS OFF PROTEST PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA 🖕U TRUMP

"I would just like to go back...to having professionals run our country." Americans nationwide are exercising their right to free speech and assembly to resist and oppose Donald Trump's wake of destruction. WATCH:

As the crowd at #HandsOff Boston files into City Hall Plaza, someone got up on a barrier waving the flag, and folks started singing the Star Spangled Banner. This too is America.

Absolutely incredible turn out at MN State Capitol! #HandsOff

There’s a shitload of federal employees in this area since it’s right near Aberdeen Proving Ground and Edgewood Arsenal, so people here have been feeling the uncertainty since day one even if they did send the odious Andy Harris to the House of Representatives.
