Trump told America he had a deal with far-right El Salvadoran dictator Nayib Bukele to temporary hold U.S. deportees for a fee. Now we know that was a lie. Trump told Bukele he'd _sell_ him bodies to _own_—to be housed in his massive prison (CECOT) until death. America is back in the slave trade.

I think Democrats would benefit if they started calling MAGA unAmerican. “Trump’s tariffs hurt America. He is unAmerican.” “DOGE hurts America and its future. Elon is unAmerican.” “RFK is firing cancer researchers who could save your family. He is unAmerican.” “Trump and his team hate America.”

The admin officials talking about using tariffs to return manufacturing to the US a.) do not know anything about trade, b.) do not understand how tariffs work, c.) do not understand how global supply chains work, d.) do not understand what a modest percentage of overall output, trade or jobs...

📌So for the fuck of it, I tuned into Fox and Newmax the past hour to get their take on this financial suicide today, and neither of them had their market tickers on. I swear to God, you'd think everybody struck gold today. NONE of this would have happened to America without this hideous propaganda.

Louder for the people in the back: If only citizens get due process, NOBODY gets due process. Because then all they have to say is that you’re not a citizen, and you have no right to due process to prove them wrong — even if it’s a lie.

our problem as people not infected by the authoritarian mind virus is that we are trying too hard to make sense of Trump’s tariffs as economic policy. Instead it is primarily symbolic, an attempt to reassert the fantasy of a racial colonial patriarchal family romance onto the world.

Americans are quoting Cory Booker’s fabulous filibuster final statement, “let’s get in good trouble.” It is his penultimate sentence that I think is most important, though: “This is a moral moment. It’s not left or right. It’s right or wrong.” Fellow Canadians, pay attention. Right or wrong.

“We’ve now seen the Trump administration’s strategy is to pick off individual institutions 1 by 1. They are not going to stop. The only way forward is for institutions to co-ordinate & work together across the sector to develop a united front & a joint strategy to push back against these attacks.”

Not sure what's worse, the reporter asking a softball "do you want to weigh in on that" [Signalgate] or the reporter immediately moving onto another topic when Trump demands, like a little baby, that she doesn't "bring that up again". Our media is failing us. Again. zeteo.com/subscribe

"They're doing this to crash the market on purpose to buy more companies cheap" You're not thinking stupid enough. Yes, it will crash. Yes, they will buy it all. They absolutely think asking Grok to create their economic policy is a genuinely good idea too. They are this stupid.

If Trump and Vance really want to revitalize domestic manufacturing as the foundation for a virtuous working class life, why are they strangling the creation of hundreds of thousands of clean energy jobs, the advanced manufacturing work of the future? newrepublic.com/article/1933...

The biggest scandal is not that top NatSec officials included a journalist on secret war deliberations on Signal, though that itself is very bad. The biggest scandal is how it shows they’re doing this a lot, exposing NatSec secrets, breaking record keeping laws, and we have no idea what or how much.

The first rule of Trumpism is to never apologize or admit wrongdoing. That’s why he’s not firing anyone or even entertaining the idea anybody around him did something wrong.
