π¨Trumpβs D.C. police takeover, sparked by his discomfort at seeing homeless camps on his golf route, sets a precedent for sweeping federal power, risking civil rights, cutting aid, and reshaping urban policy nationwide.

Trumpβs Tariffs Wonβt Solve U.S. Chip-Making Dilemma
The proposed semiconductor tariffsβand exemptionsβdonβt line up with their supposed purpose.
Heard on the Street: Trumpβs semiconductor-tariff regime appears unlikely to bring advanced chip-making roaring back in the U.S.

Trump justifying placing DC police under federal control and deploying National Guard by claiming the city is dangerously crime ridden. Sidebar shows overall violent crime down by 26% in DC, homicide down 12%, robbery down 28%. Nationally the numbers are down 4.5%, 14.9%, 8.9%. They are way, way down from historic highs in the early 90s.
Thank you @msnbc.com for fact checking the Committer (of crimes) in Chief in real time. Crime is DOWN in DC.

Trump failed at taking Canada, Greenland and Panama canal. He didn't stop wars in Gaza or Ukraine. So now he's going to have US military take control of Wash DC. Meanwhile inflation is exploding and economy is on edge of a big slide. Trump's only "success" has been personally profiting/corruption

Does America Get It Yet?
Four snapshots of our political/social/economic/legal/constitutional moment:
So here is your Saturday question:
Does American get it yet? Do we β by which I mean citizens, institutions, and former guardrails β understand the full scope of what is happening? Do the courts, businesses, law firms, universities, media companies get it yet?

Now That Theyβre Free, Venezuelan Men Want the World to Know What They Endured in CECOT
Venezuelan men deported by the Trump administration say they endured months of physical and mental abuse inside a Salvadoran prison. Though happy to be home, they say the fact that they were releasedβ¦
#ICYMI: We obtained internal data showing the Trump administration knew at least 197 of the men it sent to CECOT had not been convicted of crimes in the U.S.
Nearly half were whisked out of the U.S. while in the middle of their immigration cases, which should have protected them from deportation.
