I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

“On Friday morning, West Coast port officials told CNN about a startling sight: Not a single cargo vessel had left China with goods for the two major West Coast ports in the past 12 hours. That hasn’t happened since the pandemic.” #Trumpcession is coming.

If you thought Operation Whirlwind couldn’t get any more unhinged, think again. Ed Martin has been caught ghostwriting online posts attacking judges, including both federal and state officials overseeing cases tied to Trump and his allies.

BREAKING: Judge blocks President Trump’s unconstitutional campaign to radically restructure and dismantle the federal government. This ruling is one of many that prove Elon Musk, DOGE, and even the president himself are not above the rule of law and the will of the American people.

This is a shockingly mistaken understanding of due process by Stephen Miller. It is likely this misunderstanding that is informing the President’s misunderstanding.

BREAKING: Judge Richard Myers rules that the N.C. Supreme Court's handling of the state supreme court election violated the U.S. Constitution. The win for Justice Riggs, a Democrat, is to be certified. Today's ruling stayed for 7 days for Judge Griffin, a Republican, to appeal "if he so chooses."

"Incidentally, the president’s sudden push for the tourist destination of Alcatraz to once again become a maximum-security prison complex came just hours after a South Florida PBS station aired the 1979 classic film Escape from Alcatraz. The president spent the past weekend... in Palm Beach."

Gotta give Bondi credit here. It’s clear she knows the DOJ Manual’s principles of federal prosecution inside-out and backwards, because she’s obviously trying to violate every single section and subsection of them.

NEW: Government officials insist that neither DOGE nor Musk have any real decision-making authority—they merely “advise” or “consult.” But internal DOJ emails provide the most compelling evidence yet that DOGE is not simply advising—it’s calling the shots. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/on-d...

Martin appeared with the same Nazi sympathizer, Hale-Cusanelli, a month ago at fundraiser in Florida, after pretty extensive media coverage of their earlier meeting (ie. www.npr.org/2024/09/12/n...). So his claim he had no idea about this guy is dubious. www.motherjones.com/politics/202....
