Trump's Gulag-Industrial Complex Spoiler Alert: You’re Next Let’s be clear about what Trump is saying: he wants to send American citizens to a gulag in El Salvador, a prison from which there is no escape, no hope of release, and no due process.

@therickwilson.bsky.social: “The latest scheme to emerge from this cesspool of corruption involves shipping American citizens off to El Salvador's notorious prisons, devoid of due process, hope of release, or basic human rights. In short, we’re next” www.lincolnsquare.media/p/trumps-gul...

I don’t know why I bother but embezzling 3 million euros from the European Parliament is not a “minor charge” and her appeal will be examined and ruled on before the next presidential election

Un axe Poutine- Trump ? Le monde d’hier n’est plus. Une révolution techno-oligarchique promeut désormais une alliance revancharde et prédatrice entre la Russie de Poutine et les États-Unis de Trump. L’Europe ne doit pas les laisser faire. Depuis le début de l’année 2025, le monde assiste à un bouleversement majeur, sans doute le plus important du xxie siècle. « L’Occident uni », un concept déjà largement mis à mal, …

The “tariffs charged to the USA” column is obviously absolute nonsense — there is no world in which the EU charges a 39% tariff on US goods (though I know Trump doesn’t understand value added tax or get that it also applies to EU goods, it’s literally just a sales tax)

Crawford: I never could have imagined that I'd be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin. And we won.

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

Hadn’t opened this app for a few days but logging on to say that this liberal’s heart was filled with joy this morning on waking to a win in Wisconsin. Always good to see oligarchy defeated.

If there are history books in 20-30 years, our kids will be asking how America could so fully espouse evil, support the aggressor and seek to pillage the victim

What’s clear is that whether the addition of Goldberg was intentional or not, everyone else in the chat was too stupid or naive to notice or do anything about it

Increasingly convinced that Waltz added Jeffrey Goldberg to the chat on purpose — whether it was to embarrass colleagues he disliked (Vance? Hegseth?) or to brag about how “tough” their rhetoric is towards Europe is another question that only he can answer

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Trump is already defying the courts.

He has no more right to defy a district court than the Supreme Court.

Essentially saying all lower court rulings are optional for Trump is legally incorrect and irresponsible.

"Many things are bad now" is not equivalent to "things can't get much much worse." This is a fallacy many people fall into by mistake or because it's convenient. But it can really lead you astray. Things can pretty much always get worse.

I have no patience for this temporizing. People are being summarily shipped off into slavery in central america under the imprimatur of the US government right now. Canada—Canada!—is putting itself on a war footing. We’ve been off the map and in uncharted territory for the last 250 miles.
