"The hallways...were absolutely lined with ICE agents. And immigrants were scared to leave, even though their cases were still open. What happened was that ICE agents then stormed into the courtroom, kicked out the attorneys, and detained everyone in the courtroom over the judge's objections."

Dear Members of the Press. P0TUS bragging that his tariffs are "already" bringing TRILLIONS of $$ into the US. Beyond the fact that it's not true, will you please ask him, "If that's so, then there's no need to even discuss cutting social services, medicine, education, air safety, etc etc. Right?"

So it turns out that Elon Musk is 5X the sex-crazed, drug-addled freak that Republicans claimed Hunter Biden was...and whereas Hunter played no role in his dad's administration, Musk was basically running much of the country for the past 4 months. Lovely.

We attempted to relocate one small Alaskan village because climate change was basically going to destroy it. According to residents, we completely fucked it up. That's one small village. Millions of people will need to be relocated in coming decades. We are deeply, deeply unprepared.

The U.S. has—had—one of the top intelligence operations in the world. What a resource to make informed decisions. Yet we have an ignorant WH occupant who relies on fringe conspiracists to spread false information. What a danger. What an embarrassment. What a tragedy.

I thought India paid the tariff. This is all completely nuts that Congress is allowing him the power to simply put on and take off taxes on any company he wants for any reason.

CITI: “.. As the full effects of the tariffs come online—likely over the next few months—demand could face a double blow. The tariffs could reduce real purchasing power, and in addition, front- loaded purchases will be ‘paid back.’”

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

BREAKING: ICE and private prison contractor GEO Group are refusing to allow Mahmoud Khalil to hold his newborn son for the first time, even after his wife flew them over 1,000 miles to visit. We just asked a federal court to order ICE to grant Mahmoud's request for a contact visit with his family.

This is a redux of a scam police have been pulling forever. Bank of America, or whoever, will donate (for PR) millions to combat "sex trafficking" in whatever city is hosting the Super Bowl. Cops arrest a bunch of SWs, land zero trafficking prosecutions, and then spend all the cash on new cars.

A Gulfstream 5 left Harlingen airport at 11:57am with a LADD (limited aircraft data displayed) designation and is now over the Atlantic. No destination filed. Registered to Tannjets Aerospace in FL. Little info, but this is THE SAME PLANE (N588AT) that got Brittney Griner in 2022 prisoner swap.
