So did anyone notice this? Stage is set for Panama invasion www.france24.com/en/live-news...

It is legit incredible to watch the Wall Street Journal OPINION section be ahead of the Democratic Party.

I think this is it. Purposeful alteration of government records to declare people dead so they can persecuted. America as we knew it is over.

THREAD: Some folks have asked why Donald doesn’t just pick up the phone and bring Abrego Garcia back. Besides the cruelty, what’s the point of defying the lower court’s order? Basically, he wants to see if he can get away with it. 1/

🧵 We got a pretty nasty load of bad news yesterday on the future of Social Security. It's not hyperbole to say we've passed the point of no return on Trump/DOGE's efforts to kill the agency...

Trump just denied North Carolina’s request for FEMA relief from Hurricane Helene, calling it “unwarranted.”

I was thinking about this Joe and Tracy anecdote from the supply chain crisis on gummy bears. Things are probably going to get really weird in a few weeks in unexpected ways:

Another example of Trump Fascism - Trump demanding Amazon remove books critical of Trump in order to continue to get government contracts. Included on the "removal" list are books from Dave Pakman, Brian Tyler Cohen & Mary Trump. youtu.be/GtEymx55dnU?...

JUST IN: President Trump is authorizing the military to occupy and take jurisdiction over public land along the southern border.

NEW: The Acting Director of the Immigration Courts issues a new memo purporting to authorize immigration judges to deny asylum applications without ever having a hearing. It's not clear that she has legal authority to do this; as Director, she isn't permitted to set precedent.

Here are Trump and Hegseth again discussing a military invasion of Panama for purposes of seizing control of the canal. Note how, as usual, this discussion is leading news around Latin America, but is essentially ignored in major US news outlets.

"Gone is “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” Maya Angelou’s transformative best-selling 1970 memoir chronicling her struggles with racism and trauma. Two copies of “Mein Kampf” by Adolf Hitler are still on the shelves." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

This shit seems low stakes, but it isn’t. It’s what they do in North Korea.

🚨 ⚠️ WELP ⚠️ 🚨 I think we know one of the reasons DOGE was infiltrating the federal payroll systems. Multiple sources are telling me that their union dues are no longer being deducted from their paychecks.

more law firms have just sold out to Trump
