WHITEHOUSE: Do you agree with President Trump's comments that Leonard Leo is a sleazebag who hates America?

I love that the only time the US supports feminism and think women should be treated as people is when they want to bomb a country.

For years, commentators have talked about how Trump reshaped the Republican Party in the populist mold. Indeed, Trumpism has seen Republicans abandon many of their publicly held commitments. The GOP says it champions fiscal discipline while growing the debt at every opportunity. It talks about individual merit while endorsing discrimination against groups based on gender, race, national origin, and sexual orientation. It blathers about free speech while using state power to engage in the most sweeping national-censorship campaign since the Red Scare. Republicans warn us about the “weaponization” of the legal system while seeking to prosecute critics for political crimes and deporting apparently innocent people to Gulags without a shred of due process. The GOP venerates Christianity while engaging in the kind of performative cruelty early Christians associated with paganism. It preaches family values while destroying families it refuses to recognize as such. Yet the one bridge that connects Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush to Donald Trump is slashing public services while showering tax cuts on the rich. This is the Republican Party’s most sacred, fundamental value, the one it almost never betrays. Whatever else Trump and Musk may fight about, they are faithful to that.

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to.

This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented.

So ICE took her into custody.

The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck.

Oh my bad. But can't wait to read it!

ICE WATCH 101: DC BYSTANDER GUIDE 1. VERIFY THAT IT IS ICE • It is important that you try & verify that it's ICE. DC is uniquely overpoliced - apart from MPD, we have 30+ federal law enforcement agencies in the District. It can be difficult to tell them apart. • Look at their badges, arm patches, vests/ jackets, and cars. ICE vehicles can be marked as ICE or DHS. 2. DOCUMENT BUT DO NOT ENGAGE • Record the date, time, and location of the incident. Be as specitic as possible! • Take pictures and video. Try to capture pictures of the officers and their vehicles. Do NOT post the photos or video on social media. • Other relevant info to document: How many agents are there? What are they doing? • Do NOT engage. You could end up making things worse for the person being targeted. 3. CALL OUR HOTLINE: 202-335-1183

In light of the DC raids we want to reshare our ICE watch 101 graphics. Reminder to verify, document, and then report to our hotline.

Rep. Steven Horsford:

“This is amateur hour”

“How is this not market manipulation?”

“What BILLIONAIRE just got RICHER?”

I've always felt the same way. That's why I love the FT. Unfortunately, truth is apparently easier to unpack when it means somebody's bottom line.
