EVERCORE: “DOGE failed.”

@patsignoret.bsky.social

“.. the narrowing of the trade deficit we have experienced in the wake of the front-running of tariffs may be fading. It shows that the low-hanging fruit on adjustments to supply chains, including switching to domestic manufacturers, has been plucked.”

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Hear, hear!

The Schoolchildren of Minneapolis As thousands of ICE agents arrived, kids started staying home from school. A local principal, teachers, and parent volunteers have banded together to keep the families safe.

Painful to read but we must bear witness and be informed.

the 'bitcoin is digital gold' crowd has gone awfully quiet

MAGA military geniuses are talking about Minnesota protestors like they are the Iraqi insurgency, the Taliban, and the Viet Cong all rolled into one.

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

A real change in how Germany approaches the EU is happening. Berlin used to prioritise the unity of the 27 and now seems much more open towards coalitions of the willing.

The lesson of the past two weeks, whether you’re the EU, South Korea or any other trading nation: you may THINK you have a “deal” with Donald Trump.

You don’t. 🤡

Good. And I hope to hear from Republican senators (more than the few speaking up). Also, it is not just about training. It’s about the mandate and cover they’ve been given by their leaders and their individual ethics.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

@barackobama.bsky.social Why your silence in the wake of Minneapolis?

Protesters flooded the intersection of Nicollet Avenue and W. 26th Street in south Minneapolis, near where Alex Pretti was fatally shot by federal agents Saturday morning.

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

Same thing every time:
1. Reframe the victim as the villain

2. Make the state the injured party

3. Turn critique into complicity (“oh so you side with terrorists”)

4. Expand blame to an entire out-group

5. Fuse to a larger us-against-them story to keep any alarmed within the base from defecting

What a Proper Investigation of Alex Pretti's Killing Would Look Like Former prosecutor in Criminal Section of DOJ Civil Rights analyzes evidence and need for proper investigation of Alex Pretti's killing.

What a Proper Investigation of Alex Pretti's Killing Would Look Like

By Julia Gegenheimer, former prosecutor in the Criminal Section of Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division

He wasn't a domestic terrorist. A domestic terrorist was the Oklahoma City bomber. This was a VA nurse looking out for his neighbors.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Apparently, this is going to happen.
