why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been. What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.

Remember that these are human rights, not merely constitutional ones, and can’t just be waved away.

So we can’t guarantee our own citizens health care but we can pay everyone in Greenland $10,000/year? How is this “America First”, exactly? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

The tariff flip-flopping and market manipulation is huge, but 👇🏻👇🏻

There's probably a Signal chat specifically made for this.

In case you're wondering... it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans. And nobody has been fired... Don't stop talking about SignalGate

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

Golly, another loss for state media. It’s almost like there was no election fraud in 2020 or something. ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/delawar...

It’s pretty devastating commentary when people prefer the gentle ministrations of Cuba to the treatment they get in the USA. translatingcuba.com/from-a-miami...

As the author of a history of concentration camps, I would like to emphasize that this is a very bad idea, and we should definitely not do it.

Remember folks, the President says people who question his tariffs are weak and stupid. 😡

⚡️ Ukraine summons Chinese diplomat to explain Chinese citizens fighting for Russia in Ukraine. Foreign Affairs Minister Andrii Sybiha said Ukraine has summoned China's charge d'affaires to demand an explanation after having captured two Chinese nationals fighting alongside Russia in Ukraine.

Nothing like a little war to distract the folks back home from the economic crisis he’s created. Also convenient for declarations of martial law. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/pentagon-p...

Judge Boasberg said he would rule on if there was probable cause to hold the Trump Administration in contempt for ignoring his order barring Venezuelan deportees from being flown to El Salvador. His record shows that President Trump has chosen an especially hard target to paint as “a troublemaker.”

So if you disagree with him, you’re “weak and stupid”. 😡 www.bbc.com/news/live/ce...

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

If the DOJ is going to punish its attorneys for being candid with the courts, it stands to reason that courts can no longer assume DOJ attorneys will fulfill their duty of candor.

I know I would be unwilling to come here if I was Canadian or European: you could never be confident that you wouldn’t end up in prison for weeks (or worse, deported to El Salvador). www.bbc.com/travel/artic...

People who told everyone that masking was the worst possible thing to be asked to do are now telling USians that "sacrifice" and it's so ridiculous.

“In 2012, in Arizona v United States, the highest court in the land ruled that “as a general rule, it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain in the United States”. Got that? Not. A. Crime.” From my new Guardian op-ed:
