After Trump’s tariffs debacle, his administration needs someone who can reach over to other countries, massage matters, and revive America’s flagging fortunes. Lauren Boebert is available.

Everyone knows about Doug Engelbert's Mother of All Demos but no one knows his brother Frank died tragically trying to demo his invention, a device that lets a person steer a car using their penis The ill fated "Father of All Demos" ended up killing 32 people, including Frank, plus a horse.

So we have the Times hiring Daily Caller reporters to profile Real America's Voice reporters. There are so many examples of major outlets elevating people from the right and relatively few instances of them doing this with any notably progressive voices

We have to consider the possibility that CBP is acting like this because this is how they’ve always wanted to act and the change isn’t Trump saying they should so much as there’s no longer anyone to tell them no.

Update: I just listened to the audio of this. Trump: “If the Supreme Court said bring somebody back, I would do that. I respect the Supreme Court.” Reporter: And the lower court as well…? Trump: “Oh no, no. I’m not talking about the lower court. I have great respect for the Supreme Court.”

Lol the DOJ attorney spent like an hour earlier today getting microwaved by Judge Xinis for stammeringly repeating that he had NFC what his client's position was but that this is a very complicated case, you know, lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what have yous, and then Trump just... blurted it out

i do not think the mainstream press is equipped or capable of covering ideological white nationalists and eugenicists as such, or even capable of noting that this is what they are. it is related to the wide belief that racism is simply a matter of manners.

Could be a few legal issues with this pitch from Erik Prince. “The proposal, exclusively obtained by POLITICO, says it would target ‘criminal illegal aliens’ and would attempt to skirt U.S. immigration laws by designating part of the prison…as American territory.” www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Yep. Trump just exempted smartphones & computers from the tariffs, which (1) shows the absence of any real planning (2) is contrary to what he and his admin said is the point of these tariffs and (3) does not fix the numerous other problems. There are so many vital widgets US businesses get abroad.

iPhones won’t be $2400 for no reason, they’ll just be $1200 for no reason, with the possibility that the price could go up again at any moment based on the whims of whoever could get the President’s ear. Masterful deal, great for the economy.

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery
