Excellent news!

⚡️Witkoff spreads Kremlin narratives, has no mandate to discuss Ukrainian territory, Zelensky says. “I believe Mr. Witkoff has adopted the strategy of the Russian side,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said. “Consciously or not, he is spreading Russian narratives."

Very eye-opening piece here. In a nutshell, Bukele cut a deal with MS-13 to operate freely but with less violence, Trump sends indicted MS-13 bigwigs back to El Salvador for kid glove treatment and dismisses charges that would have exposed all this. Security theater for all involved.

this goes WAY beyond impeachment, or persecution for treason www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

This is just sick. No wonder we’re not allowed to see him

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if there is NEW evidence that would change a determination *already made by a judge*, the government needs to present it in that court and get the determination changed. Re-litigating a judge's determination based on old evidence on TV isn't due process

Some good videos of Grassley being held accountable. Perhaps the regime's ultimate failing: failing to demonstrate accountability truly superior to the status quo. This admin continues evasive choices that created the problem long ago.

If limitations of US law mattered, the Supreme Court would acknowledge this. Instead, it said: return him.

Possibly the most important thing u can read atm

He is so good

Legit question: how does one start a petition to revoke the citizenship of Chamath Palihapitiya? He’s part of the Broligarchy and wasn’t born in the United States.

True

Palantir foresaw a world with vanishing trust. It wasn’t clear they planned to help make this happen.

For those wanting to try a bald new look

Yesterday’s smug briefing between Bukele and Trump was (is) a criminal conspiracy to deprive an individual (many individuals) of their rights, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 242. Thanks to the Supreme Court, though, it’s an “official act” that is immune from prosecution. Forever.

Academics & others need to understand a few things. A 🧵 I) First, fascism is not inevitable. Research on autocratic movements show that only about 3,5% of the population need to resist to stop them. Fascism thrives on the silence of the friends. That why visible resistance matters. 1/

I would not have predicted that large universities would show more courage than either Big Law or corporate media. Good for them.

I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of detainees being removed from the United States to foreign prisons until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on.

This goes so far beyond honorable behavior. Trump and Bukele have created a loop that transfers responsibility infinitely, directly challenging the Supreme Court.

This seems to describe Trump admin well “Since the [Friedman] economic policy was extremely unpopular, it had to be implemented by force.” P. 125, The Shock Doctrine

This is how MAGA returns the United States “to the people”

Too good to not share

Zelensky: We have their documents, even credit cards. They are citizens of China. I believe the United States of America needs to pay more attention to what is happening today. #standwithukraine

Long overdue. WTF?

We seem very much on the precipice of something. All the world needs to do is say: "America, we don't like how you've been treating us, so we're not going to buy your bonds anymore." What this would likely lead to I don't even want to think about.

To a queen

While the US Administration believes that Wednesday’s tariff announcement will encourage both domestic and foreign companies to reshore/set up production facilities in America, other countries worry about diverted foreign goods being dumped in their home markets —worries that will encourage… 1 of 2

Details matter. Seems US is having a Joe The Plumber moment. Joe The Plumber attempts surgery, and becomes overwhelmed.

When the obvious…..

Thank you for this and for advocating for our work.

Yet another distinguished military leader fired for no apparent reason. First the CJCS & CNO, now the 4-star leader of our cyber security shown the door.This damages our national security.There are no quick fixes for this loss of integrity & talent. www.thecipherbrief.com/abrupt-chang...

What is a Tariff

😂

Many good memories. If true, RIP to an icon.

Just thank you

Seriously. How is choice being used?
