See the problem here?

“The federal government reaching out to our personal cellphones to identify who is Jewish is incredibly sinister,” said Barnard associate professor Debbie Becher. “They are clearly targeting what most of the United States defines as freedom of speech, but only in the case of anti-Israeli speech.”

Jose Hermosillo was arrested on April 8 by CBP in Tucson and detained for 10 days. His family provided documentation proving his American citizenship, days after being taken into custody, according to court records and Department of Homeland Security assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

Look, the people who helped the Jews got sent to camps, too, so this stands to reason

Mississippi will observe Confederate Memorial Day on April 28, with state and local offices closing to commemorate the men who died fighting in rebellion against the United States in order to preserve the institution of human slavery.

Revere didn’t wait for the perfect plan. He didn’t file paperwork. He didn’t need mass approval. He mounted that horse on April 18, 1775, because he saw something coming — and knew silence was complicity.

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

Poll respondents agreed that a maximum security prison in El Salvador is an appropriate place to house a felon convicted on 34 counts.

Donald Trump is playing 3D chess. It was 4D chess, but it lost 25% of its value in three days.

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

Last night in my newsletter, I wrote about an important court case you probably haven't heard about. An Alabama group, the Yellowhammer Fund, helps women go to states where abortion is legal to obtain one. They sued the state's AG for threatening to prosecute joycevance.substack.com/p/a-case-to-...

A win for truth and history: A National Park Service page(removed by Musk) on the Underground Railroad has been restored to prominently feature Harriet Tubman, after her image and quote were removed earlier this year. Now, her legacy as a fearless champion for freedom has rightfully been restored. ✊

If we’re deporting criminals does that mean we can deport him 34 times?

Hey TEXANS, Get LOUD, get OUT, and demand change…👇 Like NOW!! ✨

The Insurrection Act was last invoked in 1992 during the Rodney King riots. It’s meant to be used sparingly, not as a fallback plan when your approval ratings are drowning in sewage and your “border war” turns out to be a racist fever dream held together with chicken wire and Tucker Carlson’s tears.

Pundits hate simplicity. If something is simple you don’t have to have pundit expertise to explain it. Trump Cabinet now has a public record as the stupidest Cabinet in history. This isn’t complicated. They are stupid rich people. Any analysis that doesn’t begin with their stupidity is stupid.

The evangelical leaders who defend Trump aren’t prophets — they’re powerbrokers masquerading as moral authorities. They aren’t preaching redemption — they’re selling excuses.

China's ACTUAL tariff rate on was only 7.5% Trump's minions bungled it, used AI to claim it was 67%, and thus slapped a 34% tariff on them China has now increased its tariff from 7.5% to 34% Trump instantly made China's tariff 4.5x WORSE He is an IDIOT - costing us TRILLIONS

The good news is oil prices are dropping because consumer demand is predicted to plummet as we head into a recess— Oh, wait, never mind.

This administration could simply get rid of anyone it wanted to by sending them to a prison outside the jurisdiction of the United States and then claiming it had no way to get them back.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

There has to be a link somewhere...

“Never before has an hour of Presidential rhetoric cost so many people so much,” former treasury secretary Lawrence Summers posted. “The best estimate of the loss from tariff policy is now [close] to $30 trillion or $300,000 per family of four.”

A display at the National Zoo’s prairie dog exhibit describes how the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute is helping save the adorable varmints from a plague — with a vaccine. Forget J.D. Vance. Just wait until R.F.K. Jr. hears about this.

In a final demand, Musk said he expected to be reimbursed $16.95 for the cost of his cheesehead.
