They know their policies are deeply unpopular. That's why they're committed to preventing us from knowing what they are doing.

Substantial risk of severe weather in the upper Midwest tomorrow, especially evening.
Those in the area should prepare to take cover tomorrow, and prepare for FOTUS to deny federal disaster aid after that.

In the 2024 campaign, the actual estimate of undocumented people in the US, ~11M, was asserted as 25-30M by FOTUS.
Eliminating due process to round up & ship out millions of innocent people, citizens or not, to miserable fates, is how they try to fulfill the lie they told to justify the act.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

WOW. One of the Venezuelans whom Kristi Noem tried to render to El Salvador's slave prison managed to avoid removal and was able to make it to immigration court, and you'll never guess what happened: THE GOVERNMENT GAVE NO EVIDENCE OF HIS GANG MEMBERSHIP. Due process ftw

Good read that will likely resonate in terms of where we've been & where we should go.

The president doesn't have authority to fire the postmaster general; that can be done only by the postal governing board.

Animal Farm: Eggflation’s Monopoly Problem Factory farms are blaming eggflation on animal welfare laws, in an attempt to boost their margins and crush their competitors.

Ever notice how we're constantly asked to accept that doing things that are good and just is more expensive? Actually, no - there are economic benefits to good and just regulations and laws.

Thankfully, even ostensibly right-wing judges are in many cases remaining true to their declared principles and serving the law, not a man or a movement.

I also want to be clear on this point: History also shows that the Liberals were very willing to throw away the Left as sacrificial meat to the fascist, in the hopes it would protect the liberals. It did not, in fact, protect the liberals. So if liberals wants to beat fascism, they need the left

Trump has delegated to Musk extraordinary power over the government. Yet Musk is almost entirely unfettered from mechanisms of basic accountability.

New piece from me on Trump, Musk, the Tesla stunt and patrimonialism in government:

The cover-up…

USAID officials were ordered to destroy classified documents, raising concerns about compliance with federal law. An internal email sent to remaining bureau leaders at the agency’s Washington headquarters provided guidance on “clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”

Musk Has Triggered A Corporate Deregulation Bomb A Delaware bill would award Elon Musk $56 billion, shield corporate executives from liability, and strip away voting power from shareholders.

🚨INVESTIGATION: New legislation pushed by Musk would give him the largest payout in history, shield CEOs from accountability for wrongdoing & block shareholders from seeing corporate documents.

The bill was written by Musk's lawyers & backed by top Dems.

Big Pharma convinced President Clinton to repeal pricing rules requiring government-developed medicine to be offered to Americans at a reasonable price.

When @sanders.senate.gov & Paul Wellstone pushed to reinstate the rule, the Senate rejected it.

The Plan To Make America Hazardous Again Trump’s EPA could stop states from warning people about potentially dangerous chemicals sprayed on their food.

Trump’s EPA is advancing a GOP proposal to block states from warning consumers about toxic chemicals sprayed on their food.

One chemical that could be banned from labels was called "poison" by Trump's own HHS secretary.
