Oh this is rich — “undocumented people working on farms and in hotels would be allowed to leave the country and return as legal workers if their employers vouched for them.” www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

"It seems that some people did really well in the markets yesterday. So this was kind of, wow, what great luck!" No insider trading to see here! @samsteindc.bsky.social and @jvl.bsky.social:

Manipulating the stock market so your family and friends can buy low and reap big bucks is just wrong. When will we learn that everything the dude does is about power? The power to give and the power to take away. Evil!

God I hope some brilliant journalist(s) is/are digging into insider trading among Trump’s inner circle. You know it’s happening.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

I need to get this straight. Lower court judges rule against Trump overreach. Scotus overturns lower court ruling on overreach. Subsequently, Trump & co continue to ignore lower court decisions. Therefore there’s no constitutional crisis until Scotus rules against Trump and Trump disobeys. Right?

Reminder: We are not at war with Venezuela. The people deported are not enemies. The law in question should not apply. Among the most dangerous aspects of the SCOTUS ruling is the idea that the president and his people have the right to arbitrarily determine who our enemies are.

With pensions a thing of the past Americans have been pushed into 401k plans or IRAs for retirement savings that are dependent on a stock market, now crashing due to these ludicrous tariffs. Add in DOGE threats to Medicare & Social Security, I’d say anxiety and outrage are more than justified.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says regular folks won't mind if one of their Social Security check doesn't show up. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says Americans ready to retire don't care about "day-to-day" market fluctuations. These people are robber barons with no empathy for normal people.

I scanned dozens of newspapers from around the U.S. & world. On average, international newspapers cover the widespread protests against Trump/Musk and for democracy much more prominently on their covers than those in the U.S. This isn’t due to deadlines, protests were daytime in the U.S. #handsoff

newspapers are still bad at covering protests. They’re late to the game, they’re not sure how to write about, they default to what happened early in day or just in their city. Big dailies don’t put big picture writers on job. 3-5 million people rallied all over country today. That’s fucking huge

If you haven’t read Burn Book by Kara Swisher, it’s a must read to better understand the dangerous power of the tech broligarchy. The paperback version has a post 2024 election afterward (though with all the havoc Musk has wrought it needs a post-post afterward…and then some). #BurnBook
