submitted 4 days ago • 65 comments

Strange how once-potential and high-rated 2024 Dem presidential candidates like Newsom and Whitmer are going out of their way to tank their 2028 prospects and undermine what made them so appealing to so many last year: their willingness to take on Trump and MAGA.

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

Nothing will ever match the cruelty of the first Trump Administration’s child separation policy, but they’re really trying hard to match it in their second term with these deportations.

Susman Godfrey, Chris Krebs, Miles Taylor, the president is openly targeting his political enemies with what his party once projected and called ‘lawfare’. It’s openly authoritarian. And we can’t say we weren’t warned. This is what fascism looks like.

Ok what’s going on here? Yields are going up which means bond prices are going down. Fewer buyers of the world’s safest asset. Normally when the economy slows, there’s a flight to safety, not away from it. Means the world may be abandoning America. We are flirting with a true crisis.

NEWS: It began with Mahmoud Khalil. Now the Trump admin is trying to deport hundreds of students by vaguely saying they have criminal records—making them guess why. Some have traffic violations. Some didn't even commit a crime. One's "criminal record"? Apparently being a domestic violence victim.
