House sparrows go completely silent and disappear from my yard whenever a hawk flies over. They don’t help the hawk. I wish US voters were as smart as birds.

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

No revenues but at the same time people here are curtailing their purchases and investments, and other countries are collecting tariffs on U.S. imports. The worst of all worlds! Only a stable genius could have accomplished all this!!

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

Raskin: They want to go back to the idea that the law doesn’t apply to them in anyway, they’re not bound by the law, and they can use the law to crush other people

Tulsi Gabbard voted in Hawaii last year after declaring under oath she was a Texas resident and claiming a homestead exemption there. This would appear to be (1) a fraud in her loan application, and (2) voter fraud in Hawaii, where she no longer resided.

I would say more broadly that as policy you really shouldn’t allow government officials to accuse people of terrorism anonymously.

Trump is shredding our Constitution and tanking our economy. Thom Tillis lacks the courage to stand up to him — I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit on the sidelines. I’m running to fight for a better future for North Carolinians. Join our campaign — let’s take back the Senate.

If you want to win a trade war, you gotta have something to trade that other side wants. And we're in a trade war with the very people who make all the things WE want. You're not going to win that.

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.”

Deporting people means a judge signs a final deportation order, and the person is returned to their own country. What we are doing is kidnapping a person off the street and paying for them to be held indefinitely in concentration camps outside US courts' jurisdiction. 100% deliberately extralegal.

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

The Trump way has always been to cause problems and then partially solve them by backing off what he did to cause the problem, and then calling the whole thing a "victory." It's like if I threw a baseball through a window and then taped cardboard over the hole and declared myself a Window Genius.

They're going to pretend that this was all "The Art of the Deal" and not a tail-between-the-legs last-minute reversal after it was clear that Trump single-handedly set the global economy on fire. But we all know what was being said just yesterday.
