Please read the latest from @stevevladeck.bsky.social on Abrego Garcia. SCOTUS is not the victim of a defiant administration. They left Trump the wiggle room he needed. www.stevevladeck.com/p/143-the-st...

NPRā€™s Steven Inskeep ā€œIf I understand this correctly, the US president has launched a trade war against the world, believes he can force the EU and China to meet his terms, is determined to annex Canada and Greenland, but powerless before El Salvador. Is that it?ā€ open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

BREAKING: DOJ ends a key racial discrimination case, signaling an end to the Civil Rights Division as it existed. The lawsuit against the Mississippi state Senate alleged a brazen pattern of racial discrimination against a Black woman, but AAG Harmeet Dhillon ended the case. New, at Law Dork ā€”>

It looks like the Trump regime is trying to hide ICE flights from the public tracker.

"Words are not violence. Violence is violence. The woke left never liked to remember this. But conservatives shouldnā€™t forget it either." Reading this you'd think that the author hadn't just endorsed the government arresting someone for writing an op-ed!

China just halted orders of all Boeing planes. This is a major strategic failure for Trump.

Do I have anyone that follows me and hasnā€™t been boosted recently? I am trying to grow all size accounts Comment boost. Thanks #BlueStormComin1 #UnitedWeStand šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ‘ŠšŸ”„ Repost

Cato published my new paper today coauthored w/ Jake Vigdor & Mike Howard that shows that immigrants have improved housing wealth for Americans and generated $3.3 trillion in property tax revenues for localities, sharply improving state and local fiscal effects of immigration.

I asked AI a question about the Missouri GOP overturning the will of the people and you can imagine my shock when the answer included a citation to my Substack... Even AI knows who to consult when you want to roast Missouri Republicans.

Oh, it was *Zelensky* that started the war? Like when a bully claims their victim started the fight because their face hurt his fist?

"The government had coerced me (a US citizen) into suppressing what I wanted to say. . . . until the Supreme Court reaffirms that the First Amendment protects noncitizens in the United Statesā€”and until President Trump obeys the Supreme Courtā€”we do not live in a free country."

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes per year ā€” enough to end homelessness, hunger, and pay for universal childcare. šŸ‘†šŸ» This is the crime wave we should be talking more about.

I am convinced heā€™s sending innocent men to a death camp in El Salvador without due process is so he can send whoever he likes to prison without due process. If you think heā€™s stopping with immigrants you are very much mistaken.

Fascism is when a leader uses the power of the state to control or coerce private institutionsā€”like Trump has tried to do with universities and private companies such as Apple. His attempts to dictate what schools can teach or how businesses should operate are textbook authoritarianism. Harvard

Good morning ā˜€ļø On a business trip, Iā€™ll be back soon. Educate everyone whoā€™s not clear on the word ā€œfacilitateā€. ā€œTheyā€ need a reminderā€¦drop ā€œthemā€ an email. Robertsā€™s next move is key. #KilmarAbregoGarcia #SheShed

ELECTREK: ā€œ.. There are already several lawsuits filed against Tesla over its self-driving claims, and that was before Muskā€™s admission that HW3 wonā€™t support unsupervised self-driving. I believe that those lawsuits will ramp up this year.ā€ @electrek.co $TSLA electrek.co/2025/04/14/t...

Either the U.S. government *is* able to exert monetary and diplomatic pressure on El Salvador sufficient to produce Abrego Garciaā€™s release, or it isnā€™t. The latter would be either a bald-faced lie or a pretty stunning concession of our national impotence. The Vice President should pick one.

Empire manufacturing survey: ā€œ.. The index for future general business conditions .. has fallen a cumulative forty-four points over the past three months.ā€

The man who set Josh Shapiro's house on fire also talked about killing Joe Biden. But it's not clear what his politics are.

4Chan was hacked, its source code was leaked, admin emails were leaked, AND a lot of registered users used their real names and .edu email addresses. Lotta CHUDs getting exposed to sunlight today.

The 4chan landing page loaded for me, but the entire politics board (the infamous /pol) seems to be gone for now. Itā€™s going to be interesting to see how this plays out šŸ‘€

The Trump administrationā€™s concerns over EU and UK regulation of social media ring hollow given the administrationā€™s hostility to virtuallyĀ anyĀ foreign regulation of US digital industries and its direct crackdown on dissenting expression at home, writes Mariana Olaizola Rosenblat.

ā€œIn Russia, dissent can cost critics their business licences, liberty and even their lives. It seems a matter of time before other less besieged western legal systems hear petitions by US citizens for asylum.ā€

If priests learn about child abuse during the act of Confession, should they have to report it? Washington State just said yes. The Catholic Churchā€¦ not so much. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/washington...

They're smearing him as a gang member. He's not a gang member. And even if he were, he still has legal status and a right to be in the United States!

NEW: A whistleblower report submitted to Congress and the U.S. Office of Special Counsel reveals that DOGE and Elon Musk appear to have mishandled and manipulated sensitive data from the National Labor Relations Board ā€” and worked to cover its tracks.

Marco Rubio would rather be a big man in a dictatorship than Little Marco in a democracy. Trump has always known how to exploit soulless climbers.

None of them want to be Columbia, which has failed students and its own reputation mightily.

Answer to why there are so many injunctions against Trump: bc not even a GOP Congress will approve what he's doing, so he's not asking.

Tax Day reminder that CEOs can write off their private jets and yachts as business expenses on their taxes, but you canā€™t write off the car you use to drive to work at their companies. This is what tax laws designed to benefit billionaires and corporations look like.

A Russian court has convicted hairdresser Anna Alexandrova of spreading ā€œfalse informationā€ about the Russian army & sentenced her to 5 years 2 months in a penal colony. We featured her case last year in this report about denunciations. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
