Good lord, these comments. 🤦🏼‍♀️

and it might be a good idea to consider what they’re saying instead of assuming they’re simply out to criticize. We have the same goals. We should maybe try and work together and learn to accept constructive criticism. After all, Dems didn’t manage to stop the fascists either.

Democrats are literally the only ones capable of saving anyone right now. The suggestion that the “no longer Republicans” are blaming everyone else for where we are at is just false. The “no longer Republicans” just want Democrats to be in the best position to beat back the fascists,

I had a similar reaction. She’s like the Nellie Oleson of Karens, except not as nice.

Even if we accept that as a viable explanation for the lack of manufacturing job growth, it doesn’t explain the LOSS of manufacturing jobs.

An ICE agent just got arrested for child sex trafficking.

As if protecting pedophiles wasn’t enough, Donald Trump is also hiring them (with your money).

These are the people who the government is paying to put on masks and throw people in vans without identifying themselves.

They just lifted it about 12 minutes ago, with no apparent explanation

I wonder if Navarro learned this from his favorite expert, Ron Varra?

From the man whose alter ego, Ron Varra (an anagram of Navarro), is the “alleged” expert he quotes in his books. 🤣

Following Jeff Bezos's gutting of the Washington Post, economist Justin Wolfers joins Charlie to try to unpack billionaires' actions. Also, how's the American economy really doing these days? What’s With Rich People These Days?

Let's grab coffee, sit down, and enjoy a nice long chat about the economy, and everything that's going on. And if it's okay, my mate Charlie Sykes will join us too. There's a lot he wants to discuss.

"The US stock market, while it looks strong, is actually much weaker than almost any other industrialized country.... So while we're doing well… everyone else is doing even better."

It occurs to me that being a billionaire must be an awful lot like having EVERY conversation with ChatGPT: Everything you say is a pearl of extraordinary insight, until you lose all realistic sense of your own capabilities.

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.

Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests Juan Leon sends a "chase" car to check out where abandoned vehicles are located and arranges discreet drop-offs. Since late December, he estimated they have dropped off 250 cars.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.

This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.

They hate the helpers.

Which is why must keep helping.

"I just think it was a good model for a kind of a combo of issues that doesn't really map exactly onto the never-ending Bernie vs. Hillary debate, in a way to kind of talk about stuff that will have some appeal."

Tim Miller on why Jon Ossoff is in a strong position for Georgia senate race.

How are Reason staffers voting in 2024? Who we vote for is a highly imperfect measure of our biases, but it's one we're happy to share every election cycle in the spirit of transparency.

They tried to warn us about Trump? Gosh, then I bet they all voted for Harris in 2024, right? right?

Huh. Well whadya know. Three out of 25 voted for Harris. Mangu-Ward didn’t vote at all.

Yes, some libertarians *did* try to warn you about Trump. But you canceled them for it.

She is protecting pedophiles, as well as herself with a chance at getting pardoned when Trump is on his way out of office. Of course that pardon is conditioned on staying quiet about what she knows.

Just added TikTok to my delete and unsubscribe list.

You might consider adding TikTok to the boycott list. Owned by Larry Ellison, TikTok’s Terms of Service now explicitly include tracking of location and citizenship status (among other identity markers, such as sex). The app is now integrated into the government’s domestic surveillance dragnet.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

‘Absolute hell’: Irish man with valid US work permit held by Ice since September Seamus Culleton has been in a detention facility in Texas for nearly five months despite having no criminal record

Kerryman who is married, living and working legally in the United States for >20 years has been incarcerated by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) since September 2025.
