Michael Wolff: Is it dementia or something else? What one of Donald Trump's closest political advisors revealed to me.

It’s fun how they’re suddenly good at using the singular “they” when it’s to help obscure the identity of an ICE officer

But for now, if you happen to witness an ICE attack, please take video!

You may save someone from false assault charges, and someday, maybe, just maybe video evidence of an ICE assault will finally get an ICE thug thrown in jail!

Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.

@johndetty.bsky.social's reply when I read this to him: "and it's either funny or not until you watch it."

a sitcom called 2B or Not 2B, where schrödinger & hamlet rent an apartment together & hilarity ensues or maybe it doesn’t idk somebody write that down

it’s getting harder and harder to tell the difference between who’s kidding and who’s stupid

ME: what are you doing

TOM PETTY: falling

ME: did u have to pay for it

TOM PETTY: no

The first thing I read this morning. Not gonna lie, it made me tear up a bit. Maybe more than a bit.

I thought we learned a lesson when COVID shut down the arts - that we need them.

On April 20th, 2025, the United States will Cross the Point of No Return. That’s the day Donald Trump’s advisory committee is expected to release its findings on whether he should invoke the Insurrection Act — a move that would allow him to deploy the military domestically…

11/ The tariffs aren’t economic policy. They are political weapons.

But as long as we see this clearly, we can stop him. Public mobilization is working. Today, a few Republicans joined Democrats to vote against one set of tariffs.

The people still have the power.

10/ And once Trump has the lawyers, colleges and industry under his thumb, it becomes very hard for the opposition to have any viable space to maneuver.

Trump didn’t invent this strategy. It’s the playbook for democratically elected leaders who want to stay in power forever.

9/ The tariffs are DESIGNED to create economic hardship. Why? So that Trump has a straight face rationale for releasing them, business by business or industry by industry.

As he adjusts or grants relief, it’s a win-win: the economy improves and dissent disappears.

8/ What could Trump demand as part of a quiet loyalty pledge?

Public shows of support from executives for all his economic policy. Contributions to his political efforts. Promises to police employees’ support for his political opposition.

7/ But the private sector also plays a rule to protect democracy. Independent industry has power.

The tariffs are Trump’s tool to erode that independence. Now, one by one, every industry or company will need to pledge loyalty to Trump in order to get sanctions relief.
