They arrested a sitting Judge. This is insane. Every day, the Trump admin commits another blatant act of lawlessness — not just to test our systems, but to test us. I will not grow weary of saying it plainly: We have no kings in America. We must not be silent or look away.

What American national interest is advanced by recognizing Crimea as part of Russia? The downsides are clear to me: reputational hit to the US in the world; Legitimizes use of force for annexation; Fosters division among our allies & within American society; alienates Ukrainians

This argument working with voters relies on historical illiteracy. This admin knows very well that the Gilded Age was marked by extreme wealth disparities - that’s why it appeals to them. But for it to work, voters need to know nothing. More evidence for why history education is goddamned vital.

Japanese netizens are shocked by a tweet from the US Embassy declaring that Japanese people applying for non-immigrant visas must provide information on all social media accounts they have used in the last 5 years [or their visas could be rejected]. Some are comparing it to China & North Korea.

Yep. The hope is that there aren't really viable replacements for U.S. Treasuries—mostly due to their sheer size in the global market—but the decoupling of the dollar and Treasury yields itself shows that Trump has single-handedly generated an aversion to U.S. assets.

At some point, a judge is going to need to order the people with handcuffs to use those handcuffs. It'll be ugly when they do, bc I have no doubt the US Marshal (a Trump appointee) and the AG (ditto, obvs) will tell the marshals not to. Even though they are required to enforce a valid order.
