This is what state media looks like 👇👇👇👇

As I detail in this post, part of Bukele's "truce" with MS-13 is to give them greater control over the prisons in which they are incarcerated. Which means that Abrego-Garcia was sent back to a country where he faced gang retaliation, into a confinement where MS-13 will have power over him

So many worthwhile hills to die on. If you’re looking for one, Republicans in Congress, you might consider the sheer stupidity of this and do your utmost to prevent it.

Anyone else wonder where this traitor is? What a fall off of the planet. Witness protection program?? edition.cnn.com/2024/11/12/p...

Sure was a lucky break for those billionaires to be at the White House today when the tariffs were reversed. Good day in the market for them.

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs. That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result. #econsky

NEW: The shuttered DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties “was one of the very few tools we had to check ICE, to hold ICE accountable,” immigration lawyer Sophia Genovese said. “Now you see them speeding to complete authoritarianism.” By @davidmcswane.bsky.social & @hannahallam.bsky.social

This is high art

The weaponization of tariffs is symptomatic of Trump's pathology: 1. Zero-sum, grandiosity 2. "Punitive orientation" Explained in detail using @gtconway.bsky.social's (no paywall): 1/ nickcarmody.substack.com/p/analyzing-george-conways-anti-psycho nickcarmody.substack.com/p/is-trump-a-racist

"The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs said Thursday that it will end a mortgage-rescue program designed to help veterans who have fallen behind on their mortgages keep their homes."

Another large law firm capitulates. Absolutely shameful. These firms are helping Trump destroy the rule of law and democracy. If Willkie Farr & Gallagher won't defend itself, why on earth would any client trust it to defend the client?

BREAKING UPDATE: Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul is suing Elon Musk to block his $1 million bribes to voters. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

He fired the black chairman of the joint chiefs for being woke and hired his brother.

This is an enormous scam designed to get X’s dwindling value and collateralized debts (which likely are imperiled due to Tesla’s crashing stock price) off Musk’s personal books.

BREAKING: Judge Amy Berman Jackson has *blocked* the dismantling of CFPB. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

BREAKING: While major news outlets and law firms fall all over themselves to bend the knee to Trump and Musk, I am standing up and suing DOGE for transparency. www.muellershewrote.com/p/im-suing-d...

Look at this. Trevor Milton of Nikola, $NKLA, was pardoned of securities fraud. But Brad Bondi, a lawyer for Milton, is the brother of Attorney General Pam Bondi. And Milton and his wife donated $1.8 million to a Trump fundraising committee, per WSJ

Jenner & Block, truly one of the preeminent law firms in America today, sued the Department of Justice and essentially the entire Federal Government this morning in a devastating 64-page complaint,

“But no one in the wider world can appreciate how stressful it is to confront an executive order like this until one is directed at you.” --Brad Karp. Fuck you, you coward.

This is so surreally corrupt it’s hard to even grasp. US media is incapable of processing it - directly using the White House to promote a meme coin with hidden ownership structure.

Americans, look and learn.

Welp, there goes the US defense industry.

Trump is now directing federal law enforcement officials to seek sanctions against attorneys or law firms that challenge his actions in court. The admin currently faces more than 130 lawsuits. The move is the latest action that aims to punish judges and lawyers taking positions against Trump.

Jenny Cohn doing what she does. Exposing terrible humans doing terrible things.

You start to feel like you’ve lost the capacity to be shocked by something the Trump administration does and then this happens. No words.

Now a caught pedophile, same guy who introduced the TDS (trump derangement syndrome) bill last week. Makes sense. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

NEW: National Park Service staff have received talking points ordering them to describe layoffs as “workforce management actions” and to reassure visitors that changes resulting from the cuts won’t impede “memorable and meaningful experiences for all.” By @anjeanette-damon.bsky.social
