I can’t believe that I’ve become this Supreme Court’s biggest fan, but here I am hoping they work to restrain this President. They are making a mockery of the Supreme Court at the White House today. Bukele has mocked our laws on Twitter. A wrongfully detained American is missing. This is scary.

A major worry of mine is that Trump’s destruction of the economy will cause him and his administration to amplify and expand the mass detention and dispossession of migrants. It’s what the Nazis did, and seems like an easy way to deflect blame and build his domestic security forces.

I will always support free trade.

One of the core memories of my childhood was logging onto AIM and accidentally getting added to a group chat with “Billy” and “Hilldog.” It went like this. Hilldog: You miss 🐈 Bill: 😛 Hilldog: 🇺🇸 ✈️ 💣 🇷🇸, 🇽🇰 🥳 Bill: 🫡

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Tariffs do to ourselves during times of peace what enemies seek to do to us during times of war. -Henry George #Tariffs #Trump

Illinois respects the sovereignty and borders of Ukraine — now and always.
 Three years ago, Russia invaded Ukraine without warning or provocation. Peace and freedom requires resistance to tyranny and oppression. 
 Slava Ukraini!

#Housing is like a big game of musical chairs. Virtually every city in America has strict rules making it illegal to build chairs, so there aren’t enough chairs for everybody. Throwing money at this game doesn’t help anybody except the people who currently own the chairs. Legalize homebuilding!

I'm deeply saddened to share that Donald Shoup passed away last night. He was the ideal academic—curious, methodical, and concerned with turning ideas into real-world change. TAing his parking course these past few years has one of the greatest honors of my life. Rest in peace, Shoup Dogg.

This is how ICE should be treated by all Americans who love and cherish human rights and the due process of law. Respond to inhumanity with mockery.
