Deploying troops to American cities is an assault on the Constitution President Donald Trump's efforts to use federal troops on U.S. soil is an affront to our nation's Constitution and legal system.

What a horror. To escape one sociopathic murderer, only to be murdered by another. 😞

Free trade is good, and not just because it makes both parties to the trade wealthier. To learn why, listen to my chat with @tomgpalmer.bsky.social. I'm sorry it took Donald Trump to start to convince more on the American left of that, but I'll take every silver lining I can get right now.

"A liberal society [is about] people willing to follow rules and based on some minimal standard of respect, when that's gone, and people say, we don't respect other people, full stop. You can't have a democratic discourse if that group becomes large enough."

"American history is not only a history of genocide and war and Jim Crow and so on. It is also the history of the civil rights struggle, the abolitionists, the people who fought for freedom of speech and for religious freedom. That's America."

Abrego is the *only* prisoner ever released from CECOT, so this is the sole account we have of the horrifying conditions in the prison in El Salvador where Trump has sent over 260 people from the US.

Now is a good time to donate to the Ukrainian drone forces. I just sent in and bought more raffle tickets. Ukraine destroys 41 RuZsian strategic bombers; RuZsia attacks apartment buildings, ambulances, hospitals, and schools. #DefeatRussia #Drones

It is an honor to assist in Ukraine’s defense. A noble cause by every measure and deserving support. Please join me in supporting this cause.

A good cause. I’m a donor and a raffle-ticket buyer. #Ukraine

Trump's image of dead 'white farmers' came from Reuters footage in Congo, not South Africa The image came from a video that showed humanitarian workers lifting body bags in the city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

So much for the credibility of the #Trump #WhiteHouse www.reuters.com/world/africa...

Shameful capitulation to the Russian position. Also, it’s not true that Russia is making “so much progress.” Ukraine deserves so much better than this from us. Historians will use the example of so many Republicans falling for Russian disinformation as one of the central mysteries of this age.

I understand the frustration over dealing with silly nonsense. This is why serious liberal libertarians resisted engaging Hans Hoppe's "economics" of anarcho-capitalist monarchism. Letting it fester worked out poorly.

(My good friend @tomgpalmer.bsky.social is an exception. He skewers Hoppe here.)

A good cause! I’ve donated to save lives of innocent people from the savage invasion by a totalitarian state.

An important initiative! I’m in.

The State Department Makes an Enemies List And I am on it

Very interesting: more collaboration by administration figures with Iranian, Russian, and Chinese Communist propaganda and subversion.

Well, sure, but you wouldn’t be—if this were Biden, well, first of all, he wouldn't do an interview because he was grossly incompetent. We spoke to him last year, Mr. President. Huh? We spoke to him a year ago. How did he do? You can read the interview yourself. Not too good. I did read the interview. He didn't do well. He didn't do well at all. He didn't do well at anything. And he cut that interview off to being a matter of minutes, and you weren't asking him questions like you're asking me.

The entire transcript of Time's interview with Trump is insane. Just to pick one moment: Trump says Biden would never do an interview with Time, then when told that he had asks how it went, then when told he can read it himself says that he had read it and it didn't go well

Hitler’s Terrible Tariffs By seeking to “liberate” Germans from a globalized world order, the Nazi government sent the national economy careening backwards—and drove up the price of eggs 600 percent.

This is a warning about Trumponomics. And no, it is not reductio-ad-Hitlerum, but sound economic history.
