No notes. h/t @ianbremmer.com

“I am not afraid of you.” That is what Mohsen Mahdawi told the Trump administration after a judge released him from ICE detention. No charges. Just speech. When power starts punishing protest, the law becomes a battlefield. And every release becomes a message.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) has been bragging about her $1 million quarter — but a look into her filings shows JUST 7% of donations came from Iowans, while the rest came from PACs, Republican candidate committees, and out-of-state donors.

NEW: Target CEO Brian Cornell will meet with civil rights leader the Rev. Al Sharpton to discuss the company’s decision to roll back DEI programs. Things have worked out really well for the company since then.

What the hell kind of world are we living in now? www.youtube.com/watch?v=anUL...

Jasmine Crockett says it’s “beyond wild” no one is questioning Trump’s mental fitness. Markets are crashing. Tariffs are spinning. And he’s still bragging about his cognitive test. She’s right—if this were anyone else, we’d already be calling it what it is.

Sad, but true

16 years since the last federal minimum wage is too many. In a time of rapidly increasing prices, we must pass the long-overdue Raise the Wage Act of 2025 to ensure wages match the needs of working families now and in the future. America's workers deserve a fair day's pay for a hard day's work.

Each week, The Contrarian selects "Undaunted" individuals working to defend democracy This week's spotlight: The Associated Press AP refused to capitulate in the face of authoritarian bullying. Stalwart, unafraid and undaunted—we salute them

Trump froze tariffs. Stocks exploded. Tesla +22%. DJT up 20%. Hours earlier? Trump told the world: “This is a great time to buy.” Now AOC and Warren want answers. Insider trades? Market manipulation? When power moves the market—who’s cashing in?

For all the damage this admin has done with tariff wars, the most dangerous aspect is that so many Americans still believe the lie - tariffs are great, make us strong and global alliances make us weak. Facts: Tariff wars harm society. Global alliances are the backbones of peace and prosperity!

The announcement of a “pause” pumped the market in ways that resembled a " pump-and-dump scheme.” It’s pathetic and vile. It’s the behavior of a manipulator and abuser. In the end, America loses. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Let’s discuss Trump’s blatant market manipulation scheme👇

"Grifter" doesn't come close to describing what he's been doing and plans to do.

But every pundit in America told me this was a permanent realignment.

Thank you, Senator Mark Kelly!🇺🇸 Senator Mark Kelly: “It’s one thing to deport criminals, but you have to actually make sure they’re criminals. Throwing people out of the country without due process is un-American and it's ripping families apart.”

President Donald Trump created an uproar Thursday evening after reports emerged that he would skip the dignified transfer of the four U.S. soldiers who died in Lithuania for a golf event. www.rawstory.com/lithuania/

TRUMP DITCHES FALLEN SOLDIERS' DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR GOLF DINNER Trump won't attend the dignified transfer of 4 U.S. soldiers at Dover AFB who died in Lithuania. He'll be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead. The soldiers were honored by Lithuania's president.

I didn’t think the defense secretary was allowed to own a casino?

Underreported story, they scared.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING Democrat James Malone DEFEATS Republican County Commissioner Josh Parsons in the special election for Pennsylvania SD-36 — FLIPPING a district Trump carried by 15.4% in the 2024 election. A huge upset victory for the Democrats.

It’s funny because it’s true!

There were certainly signs

This is my nomination for deputy FBI director next time a Democrat wins.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump’s ‘Crazy Regime’ Crockett says she’s “rooting for Canada and Mexico” because they’re “speaking truth to power” against Trump. Trudeau rejects his 51st state fantasy, Sheinbaum slams his cartel lies—leaders abroad see what many won’t. Why don’t more call it out?

You really cannot make this shit up. I can't imagine living through the daily burning rage of the next 4 yrs. Fucking kill me now, plz.

AND BOOM

DOGE’s nuclear mistake: Musk’s team fired 400 NNSA experts who maintain our nuclear stockpile. Congress is now “freaking out,” and the staff have been rehired. This isn’t just a blunder—it’s a glaring example of why gutting federal roles without oversight is dangerous.

Absofuckinglutely

Own the libs, pay more for utilities. Nice trade off!!!
