SCOOP --> The cop who initially attested to Abrego Garcia's alleged MS-13 membership was subsequently suspended and indicted for serious professional misconduct: Sharing case info with a sex worker. This undermines Trumpworld's smears. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1940...

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

Let me say this again: If a president can illegally deport someone, conspire with that country’s leader to abandon them to human rights abuses, and face no consequences, we are in a hellish authoritarian moment. What a fucking evil, illiberal government this is.

A disgraced former Milwaukee cop with credibility issues helped seal the fate of a gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to El Salvador's notorious prison. Cross was fired from his position as a Milwaukee Police Sergeant in 2012 after driving his car into a family’s home while intoxicated.

If you were tasked by an enemy, foreign or domestic, with destroying the United States of America from within, would you do anything different than the actions of this administration over the past few months? You wouldn't. This would be the script.

Protest changes the permission structure. It says fascists will not be allowed to proceed unencumbered. And if you didn't think there was anything to be done, a protest shows you many think otherwise.

POINT OF ORDER: I just can’t let this go. I won’t let this go. Four service members died and our president, our leader, has said nothing. They died in Europe and Europeans honored our fallen solders. Our president, vice president, crickets. I’m disgusted still.

The only relevant political point is that Republican members of Congress are all supporting these tariffs 100%. They could stop them at any moment. Each day is on them. Everyone with a messaging bullhorn needs to make that clear. They can pull the plug now or pay the price at the polls next year.

Now that we have a palpable and immediate analog, it's good for the rest of the country to understand that the shitshow within the federal bureaucracy is 2 or 3 times the order of magnitude of what the White House team has so far done with global trade regime/equities markets.

Even if Tim Kaine's measure on terminating Trump's tariffs on Canada — which passed the Senate tonight, 51-48 — dies in the House, it's still relevant: It's the most striking bipartisan rebuke of White House policy since Trump's second term began. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

X is not worth 33 billion. He basically just paid himself $33B from another company, presumably to pay off his debts from the initial buy because he knows he'll never be able to raise the capital from X itself. He is his own ponzi scheme.

Two reasons for these predictions (IMO): 1) It keeps the hype about "AI" front and center. AI is going to be gosh darn so good at X one day, we won't need people to do X. 2) It suppresses the idea that coding skills are highly marketable and require salaries that reflect market conditions.

ICE is detaining American citizens now. Even if they don’t deport us to Gitmo, it’s a bit inconvenient if we go out to get some apples and spend a night in jail instead.

We've heard concerning things about the Social Security Administration lately, so I decided to check for myself. SSA says Wednesday is the best day to call, so I called then. Their system told me there would be a two-hour wait time, told me to call back, and then just hung up.

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.
