Remove the Olympics & World Cup from US, it is not safe for visitors. When you travel to the US you risk arbitrary arrest and abduction, random acts of extreme firearm violence and terrorism, unknown pathogens and disease, and discrimination or xenophobic attacks.

“The Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index is probably the best metric to understand if the U.S. is ‘bringing manufacturing back home.’ And it's absolutely cratering: -26.4, one of the lowest readings in memory.”

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file. Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

ICE is metastasizing. "This is dangerously out of control."

The President of the United States is utterly out of control and possibly out of his mind, and only the Supreme Court of the United States can deliver the absolutely vicious permanent slapdown this moment requires. If that does not happen, the options for Americans appear to dwindle precipitously.

Make *no* mistake, it wasn't an 'accidental' deportation, it was a test. Failing to abide by a court order sets up the precedent to ignore future court orders. This is not a drill.

1) No one will trust the US again for decades. Their reputation is already effectively ruined. Investment & professionals will leave, leading to a major Depression (like 1929 - 1932 when the markets lost 89% of their value) which will bring the final implosion from democracy to oligarchy. ...../2

It’s actually just not possible to spend this much money. Previous efforts to rapidly grow the Border Patrol and CBP led to decades of corruption. This is a recipe for corruption on a giant scale.

Van Hollen says that he asked the VP of El Salvador why his government continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with any crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13. “His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”

What Stephen Miller and Donald Trump don’t understand — what they will *never* understand — is that due process is one of the key strengths of America, not a weakness. Due process is one of humanity’s greatest advances. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/has-americ...

Trump has announced he's going to "overhaul" the $1 trillion a year federal procurements process. What could possibly go wrong, especially since he recently suggested he doesn't have to follow the Administrative Procedure Act & just announces his desired changes? www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-st...

“And [Trump] has hinted that he sees the promises of nearly $1 billion in pro bono legal services that he has extracted from the elite law firms…as a legal war chest to be used as he wishes.” NO SYMPATHY for these law firms that entered into these agreements w/Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/u...
