Governor JB Pritzker just announced that Illinois will be defunding investments in companies controlled by El Salvador to punish the country for holding American residents without due process. More of this.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

The Ice Man Cometh Trump's Gestapo is here. It operates throughout the country. It can suddenly arrest anyone, with no crime alleged, and deport them for permanent imprisonment overseas. Will anyone stop this? open.substack.com/pub/tristans...

You know why Republican politicians stay silent while Trump tells an outrageous lie about Ukraine starting the war with Russia? Because Republican politicians – at every level of government – are traitors to democracy.

Dictatorships grab people off the street and jail them. Dictatorships demonize vulnerable minorities. Dictatorships destroy data. Dictatorships reject independent courts. Dictatorships buy the backing of the super-rich. Dictatorships persecute dissidents. See what’s happening, fellow Americans.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs less to house people.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Trump created an environment of instability where it's impossible to make long term plans. Whether you're a company, investor, or anyone working to put food on the table. The GOP only promises you more of this. If you want stability, you have to vote for it by voting them out.

As Trump drives our economy over the cliff, I'm re-upping a piece I wrote last month. Why won't the media report the obvious fact that Trump is mentally unfit to be president? They had no problem raising questions about Biden, whose sin was old age, not greed, pathological lying and megalomania.

Many of Trump’s top supporters who helped him win last year are now attacking him over his tariff policy, including Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, Dave Portnoy, and Bill Ackman. “We are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter.”

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

DCCC announced 35 Republican-held districts they’re targeting for 2026. That’s a massive number, and I expect it to grow with the economy tanking. Lot of momentum on the Dem side right now.

Fascinating to see so many otherwise intelligent and privileged people discover that Trump is disastrous for America and the world at the exact moment their bottom line, wealth, and stock portfolio took a hit. As long as Trump was attacking "the woke" and college students, they were on board.

“This does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy. Today’s decision was deeply misinformed.”

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy
