A little shocking how little a story "PRESIDENT PURPOSELY CRASHES ECONOMY AND BRAGS ABOUT IT" is in America today.

The question isn’t whether a federal court can order the Salvadoran government to release Garcia; it can’t. It’s whether the U.S. government has the ability to secure Garcia’s release. If so, then it can be ordered to do so, because then Garcia is in the “constructive” custody of the United States.

So we’re 75 days into trumps second term, people are protesting everywhere. Markets have had two days of absolutely apocalyptic losses. There are grad students being disappeared and a man with an autism awareness tattoo was sent to a super scary prison in El Salvador. They’ve cut cancer research..

It is still very weird to me that there are people who were like “nah, he’s not going to do this exact thing he keeps saying he’s going to do that is contained in a 900+ page manifesto that he and his friends have been working on for four years.”

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Murphy: "The vast majority of Republicans, their number one priority is Trump seizing power, and the Trump family and the MAGA universe holding power forever ... with the exception of maybe 20 Republicans in the Senate, the GOP inside Congress is done with democracy."

I've said this a million times but I'll say it again: the Dems constantly debating in public about whether to fight, and where to fight, and what language to use in fighting, and whether this is the right fight ... all of that just loudly broadcasts weakness, no matter what they conclude.

Man it is really hard to be living in the USA right now and getting news about how South Korea deposed their president for staging a coup and then their Supreme Court just said yup, definitely the right thing to do there.

Interesting that Trump’s economic approval has fallen to basically the worst of his career and his overall approval is right around where it always is. Maybe the entire phenomenon isn’t actually about the economy? Or maybe there’s much further to fall if / when things get worse. We’re gonna find out

George HW Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Clinton (D) got us out. George W Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Obama (D) got us out. Trump (R) got us mired in a recession. Biden (D) got us out. Trump (R) is yet again ushering us into a recession. Starting to notice a trend?

Every single paper in the U.S. would be excoriating a Dem President who was golfing while the stock market melted down. We all know this. The editorial boards would be screeching, state tv ie Fox would be playing NONSTOP clips, etc. etc. It's worth remembering.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

BREAKING: I'm placing a hold on President Trump's nominee for U.S. Attorney in DC. For the past few weeks, Ed Martin has been a one-man wrecking ball. Threatening political opponents, firing public servants, and using his office to chill free speech. His nomination must be blocked.

moving forward I would like to see dems gum up the works every way possible. No unanimous consent, full votes on every tiny piece of business. I don't expect everyone to have the stamina to do a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but many lengthy floor speeches. Just slow everything down to a crawl.

Nancy stepped aside when her time came. Joe stepped aside but made the decision too late in the game. But it seems that Schumer is stubbornly going to hang on no matter what, and what the base wants doesn’t seem to matter a whole lot.

If Biden or Obama or Clinton or any Democrat seriously floated the idea of running for a third term as president, the GOP would immediately hold congressional hearings and threaten impeachment. It would dominate rightwing media for months. What will Mr. Schumer's response be? Probably silence.

The “methods for doing so” are (1) getting two thirds of Congress and three fourths of the states to repeal the 22nd Amendment and (2) declaring himself king. That’s it. Stop treating this despotic bullshit as if it’s some worthwhile thought experiment we have to consider as legitimate.
