Foreign Friends with Travel Plans to the U.S. for Conventions: A bit back I said you should maybe reconsider those plans. I would like to amend my prior statement. Cancel them. Cancel them now. We cannot keep you safe from our own government. Take your holiday in Spain or something.

No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.” (h/t @titonka.bsky.social @michelekelemen.bsky.social)

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. Populations get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

One of the sources of rot running through our political, intellectual, and media institutions is the total triumph of the idea that democracy means outsourcing your morality and point of view to a fuzzily incoherent view of what's popular. Total rejection of the idea of morality as personal virtue.

Take a break from the trade war and focus on this. The Senate and House have passed identical budget resolutions and the reconciliation process has begun. 800 billion + in Medicaid cuts. 250 billion+ in SNAP cuts very possible unless we can make GOPers fear for their reelection chances.

We expected the House to pass the budget blueprint they just approved in a party-line vote. This is not the end of the process, they must now write, and then pass, bills specifying the exact cuts they want to make. Medicaid still lives. And we will do everything we possibly can to defend it.

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me. FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

Just a reminder if you waited until now to do a stock up: Prioritize necessities. Stock up on things you already use. If you don't like lentils now, you aren't going to want to eat them in leaner times, either. If you have the extra funds, buy flavor (spices, sweetener preference)
