Republicans are trying to eliminate the Biden-era electric vehicle incentives, but will effectively be a massive EV incentive.

The Secretary of Defense does not know what the word “deterrence” means.

If I were a member of congress I’d reply that 72 hours notice is fine, as long as ICE gives 72 hours notice to people before they come to snatch them.

Amazing thread

Trump Mobile ad leaked...

While I appreciate the solidarity, there is something funny about people who live in a constitutional monarchy holding a #noKings protest against Trump.

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office posts a video of Emperor Palpatine reciting Donald Trump’s Truth Social post about L.A. via @swholocron.bsky.social

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

Trump’s super-power is the ability to come up with appointees who are unqualified for their job to an unbelievable degree. Even if I wanted to ruin the agency, how would I even find someone who wants to lead FEMA but doesn’t know there is a hurricane season?

I kinda miss that time, just 5 months ago, when every single day in the U.S. wasn't a steadily escalating shitshow.

I don't care who the Pope is, I just want him to be Pope Hilarius the Second.

He keeps telling reporters he doesn’t know what his administration is doing. Reporters need to ask him why not? Isn’t he the president?

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS SO MENTALLY IMPAIRED THAT HE IS VIOLATING A SUPREME COURT ORDER AND KEEPING SOMEONE IN A FOREIGN GULAG BECAUSE HE WAS FOOLED BY AN OBVIOUSLY PHOTOSHOPPED IMAGE. Seriously. Watch this video from his interview. #25thamendmentnow

Every factory on earth, except those located in the United States, can get the inputs they need from China, without paying an additional 145 percent markup.

Um, that’s not what negotiating is.

Has Donald Trump ever paid taxes or written a poem?

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe." But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment. 1/

I think there’s a fair chance that Trump will announce, after meeting with Nayib Bukele, that the Salvadoran president has magnanimously agreed to release Abrego Garcia. That way Trump gets to look like a hero while avoiding a clash with the court & preserving his claim that he can do what he wants

3 facts that should drive the news: 1) DOGE has committed, rather than found, fraud. 2) A bunch of antisemites are using a claim to police antisemitism to take over universities. 3) In spite of claims they're cracking down on China, Trump's FP & financial policies have vastly helped China.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?
