1. No “trade deal” Trump announces will be better for consumers than what existed before he blew up a stable system. 2. These negotiations show bringing industry back to the U.S. was never the goal. 3. This is all about using tariffs as a pretext for gifting the wealthy by ending income tax.

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe." But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment. 1/

The Trump administration wants to send anyone it wants, including U.S. citizens, to foreign prisons. Keeping Abrego Garcia in El Salvador is key to that lawless plan. At Law Dork, I go through it all:

Trump and Musk are eliminating 90% of Social Security’s regional staff—and, at the same time, will now only post public updates from Social Security on a platform owned by Musk, where more than 90% of seniors won’t see them. Corrupt, cruel, and wrong.

There are so many harms from LLMs that I have lost count. The notion that AI crawlers have caused Wikipedia’s bandwidth costs to rise 50% is typical; LLMs undermine legitimate sources of information while imposing huge costs on those sources. AI’s model: Harm to the many; benefits to the few.

No, Mr. President, you cannot illegally arrest and detain legal US residents because of their political views or opinions. In America, we have a little something called the First Amendment. Throwing protesters in jail is yet another step on the path to authoritarianism.

Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

Donald Trump nominated Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel because he wants to show Republicans that he is the boss. That he can strip them of their dignity by making them support terrible nominees. Senate Republicans may be in the majority, but Trump controls them. That is the story.

SCOTUS rejects Trump's bid to delay NY sentencing. Order is below. It's insane that this was 5-4 and that Alito participated in the deliberations. I'm wondering if the Chief and ACB would've sided with the other conservatives if the Alito-Trump phone call hadn't been made public last night.
