"'We've slid into some form of authoritarianism,' says Steven Levitsky, a professor of government at Harvard, and co-author of How Democracies Die. 'It is relatively mild compared to some others. It is certainly reversible, but we are no longer living in a liberal democracy.'"

I'm 100% in favor of everyone calling CECOT a concentration camp after today. The AP can do so since Trump didn't let them cover today's presser, in seeming defiance of Trevor McFadden.

White House promises that next week, it will impose the largest peacetime tax increase in America history outside of World War II - $6 trillion over the decade. Middle and lower earners hit hardest. Indefensible that Congress handed presidents the power to do this unilaterally.

NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID. This is what actual campus censorship looks like.

Here, @jilldlawrence.bsky.social has exactly the right word: Stalinesque. So much of what comes out in these WH edicts sounds like it was written in the Soviet Union in the 1970s.

NEW: ACLU's filing on Friday also shows the impact of these bad gang tattoo claims. Specifically, remember Andry, the gay make-up artist we sent to rot in a prison in El Salvador? Here are the tattoos that an ICE officer declared were "Consistent with those of a Tren de Aragua member."

Mark is beloved by millions of kids, which makes it particularly great that he’s teaching them how to inform their parents that Tesla is a danger to children. This is another one of those “we don’t need a ‘Rogan of the left’, we need normal men” examples.

It’s going to be critical, as more of these insane cases come to light, to determine if they’re the results of DOGE’s reckless cuts, or if they’re the usual mistakes that big bureaucracies make every week and haven’t gotten much attention until now.

Trump isn’t just cutting off aid to Ukraine. He’s getting 3rd parties to cut off intelligence to Ukraine or refuse to sell critical intel data. It’s taking away UKR army’s eyes. He’s re-entered the war on Russia’s side, not with arms yet and in marginal ways, but affirmatively on Russia’s side.

The U.S. government spent $710 billion in Trump’s first month, an increase from the same period a year prior. Cost-cutting efforts are ineffective, and job losses are occurring without clear justification.
