Okay, so this thing where there’s a hard pull on your credit and you instantly get hundreds of texts and calls from lenders pretending to be related to your actual inquiry in progress? Fuck this noise, this harassment oughtta be illegal.

Lisa McClain displays the abuse victim dodge— she knows that the quickest way to the bin is to talk about the abuser’s plans, so she demurs, giving him more illusion of authority. You hate to see it.

I can’t remember where I saw it now, but I remember seeing an interview with a prospective Trump voter who said something like “things can’t possibly get any worse” and I think about that all the time

New, from me: The Trump administration is killing Direct File, the free IRS e-filing tool. Users love it, and it creates incredible value for the public. It's the clearest sign that DOGE wants a government that serves private and not public interests. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-death-...

This is a power lie. A power lie is a blatantly false assertion made by a person with authority. The goal is to split reality & do massive psychic damage to society. Loyalists are forced to either: —confront their Beloved Leader is a huge liar —defend the power lie as truth, denying reality

NEW: Judge Boasberg finds probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt for their decision not to turn the planes around on March 15. He orders them either to fix their mistake or identify who made those decisions (presumably for further sanctions).

Some would say "sneaky tactic" others would observe that odometer fraud is a federal felony. A creative prosecutor could probably tack on some conspiracy and mail or wire fraud charges too.

This frame is a mistake. Democracy is a more efficient system than authoritarianism. They solve problems better than others, have stronger economic and health outcomes growth and fewer financial crises. Authoritarians look decisive because they miss problems and have to do big things to fix them.

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that you are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back? The answer is due process.
