The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

Don’t be misled by yesterday’s market rebound. The economic crisis is not over. Downturn remains likely. Trade conflict remains a threat to markets, jobs and growth. And irreparable damage has been done to US assets and the country’s standing by the recklessness and ignorance of the administration.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

So the SSA, (@altssa.altgov.info) would know better. But I KNOW, for sure, that IRS is rejecting taxpayers returns because SSA has reported to IRS that the taxpayers are dead. The dead people are calling IRS asking why. Doge-bags strike again.

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

Things you absolutely do not want to see in a judicial opinion against you: "has no legal authority," "unconscionable," "not . . . within her lawful discretion," "most assuredly violated the Fifth Amendment," "This is a slippery—and dangerous—constitutional slope."

I'm sorry, but isn't this just the Cultural Revolution 2.0? Why on earth would fired aid workers and NIH medical researchers go to work on assembly lines for worse salaries in jobs they don't know how to do? Why are they getting their economic policy from Mao?

This is a stunning find, and a glimpse at the Death Star scale of "mass deportation" spending foreseen in the reconciliation bill moving through Congress. By comparison, "In the last fiscal year, D.H.S. allocated about $3.4 billion for the entire custody operation overseen by ICE."

There's something weird happening where The Discourse about the tariffs is about how Trump is trying to return us to 1950's and 1960's, the manufacturing heyday of America, but he's not! He' been very very explicit about this. He wants to return us to the 1890's. That's a different project!

SCOTUS seems to think it's ok for the admin, without due process, to use a wartime law during a time when we are not at war, intended to target enemy aliens when in fact those targeted are not enemies. And the remedy for abuse of the law enables the govt to venue shop where challenges will be heard.
