I’ve got to imagine nobody wanting to visit our country has some effect on service sector employment as well…

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

Did Stavridis put his name on this too?
(I’m sure it’s misspelled and I don’t care bc he wasted several hours of my life before I gave up on 2034).

JCPOA set the example

Secret police doing what they best.
Destroying families and lives.

Can’t imagine any 🇺🇸 president trying to hide bad economic data…

(The timing on this, from a 🇺🇸 perspective)

History making choice. First prosecutor to promise to turn up drunk off boxed wine for every single hearing.
Big step for semi-functional alcoholics everywhere.

This is what I was taught in school. And then I grew up and read books.

This is not actually about Citizens United. Nearly all of this is illegal under current law. Everyone just kind of accepts that this no longer matters.

The story of how Trump sells access to the White House - to benefit himself and his family financially and to benefit his political operation - is shocking and sordid.

No President has ever monetized access like Trump has.

1/ It's a story you need to know.

It's a day of mourning in Kyiv, and the number killed in yesterday's atrocity has almost doubled this morning.

31 bodies have been retrieved from the wreckage of what was once homes of peaceful people.

Five of the murdered are children.

Have you met their Dear Leader?

They’ll have a plan in two weeks.

Was trump going to give them tax cuts, yes or no?
Could the dismantling of the vaccine system, along with economic wreckage from tariffs hurt their bottom line worse than taxes? Who cares! Taxes = communism!

If there is a *next* administration, it will only be because he’s:
1. Dead
2. In prison
3. In exile (probably in Moscow, possibly in Dubai)

Faculty Support of George Mason’s President Draws Federal Investigation

Faculty who wrote to defend their president and object to a DOJ investigation of their university...are now being investigated by the DOJ.
The most banal defense of free speech and academic freedom will trigger the full wrath of the US government now.

Fact Sheet: The United States and European Union Reach Massive Trade Deal MAKING GLOBAL HISTORY: Yesterday, President Donald J. Trump announced a trade deal with the European Union (EU), fundamentally rebalancing the economic

Believe it or not, the EU-US trade deal just got messier.

The White House has published a fact-sheet about the agreement with claims that directly contradict the European Commission's version of events.

Let's take a closer look.

Treason is the only crime actually defined by the constitution.
They are traitors, sure, but not by a legal definition.
We may yet get to the point where they are put up against the wall, yes, but we’d better pray it doesn’t come to that, because that will not be the result of a court proceeding.

It’s a two-fer! You get deployed to the border while your family breathes mold 24/7!

This is the only part I’m genuinely upset about.
If you want to suck up to trump, do it by buying 2,000 tanks and IFVs out of our vast leftovers sitting in the Arizona desert and giving them to Ukraine.
Not by agreeing to let us tax ourselves 15% on all of your products that we buy.
🤦‍♂️

Dropped cases against LA protesters reveal false claims from federal agents — Guardian US Revealed: records show border patrol gave inaccurate testimony about people it jailed. Prosecutors now face ‘embarrassing’ dismissals

Wonder what’ll happen when *some* courts just start assuming Federal Agents are probably lying, unless proven otherwise.

Utterly ignores that Israel already took all of Gaza by force. And then… just kind of spent the next year and a half randomly driving around and shooting everything up.
If they had done a proper occupation, IOC LOAC, they’d have probably found all the hostages and Gaza wouldn’t be starving to death.

Welp, trump is going to inform both sides that peace is good.
Just incredible work by the greatest peacemaker in history!
Why did no one think of such a brilliant approach before??
SAD.

Counterpoint: Miller, and the rest, should receive due process, and then spend the rest of their lives rotting in a normal American max prison.

It turns out that a lot of it was never there to begin with.

Masih was targeted for assassination by Iranian agents in New York City for her prominent women’s rights campaigns against the Islamic State. Today, if masked men jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed her, would you call the police or is that the secret police? We must all be dissidents now.

Cops pushed for some reason, then retreated.

Those arrests were fucking gnarly, man. Five men lighting up one petit woman and jumping on her, then dragging her into the MDC. Looked fucking bad honestly
