The Trump regime is claiming tyrannical powers. Not an exaggeration, not hyperbole, not a partisan statement. The reality we now face.

“For electronics, at least, we’re now putting much higher tariffs on intermediate goods used in manufacturing than on final goods. This actually discourages manufacturing in the United States.”

Pilots should take note to use caution with all upper-level forecast products, including global models and CAMS, the rawinsondes (weather balloons) from Omaha/Valley are not happening, and as such, that data is missing in guidance products. Everything east of 96W affected.

open.substack.com/pub/sixtydeg... Definitivt worth a few minutes. Note the life-span of new weapons is worth looking at. There is NO TIME for long public tenders. Why not build 100 flexible drone factories (for example in our old bunkers like Regan Vest). Now they are just used for museums.

Would not be surprised if Harvard and Columbia faculty didn’t show up to teach for weeks—all sick from measles or flu or—until their presidents and boards realized they can’t run a university without faculty who believe in free speech and association, including for foreign students and faculty.

Why should you be concerned about Trump “accidentally” deporting people who have zero criminal record? Because if he can do it to them — and ignore judges when they tell him to stop — he can do it to anyone he wants.

Bit late and kinda indirectly #seabirdersaturday but a little pat on our own back, as we have recently established three reference beaches in the Faroes to monitor for marine plastic. Let's hope we can keep it going for a few years or decades. #marineplastic 🧪🌍

“The damage has been done,” said George Saravelos, the head of foreign exchange research at Deutsche Bank. “The market is reassessing the structural attractiveness of the dollar as the world’s global reserve currency and is undergoing a process of rapid de-dollarisation.”

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

If the government can “deport” you for having beliefs they don’t like, none of us is free. Call it what you want, but it sure as shit ain’t democracy.

Alina Habba has launched a criminal probe into New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy over "ICE obstruction." Immigration control is the responsibility of the federal government. States can’t be compelled to assist ICE under the 10th Amendment. It's amazing this failed lawyer passed the bar exam.

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

I'm exhausted just contemplating the coming fight over the meaning of "facilitate." DOJ has previously argued that in immigration law, "facilitating" "does not require [the US to take] any affirmative steps." By DOJ's reading, it means permitting the person to return, not enabling it.
