"Superman Arouses Teutonic Anger" reads the headline in the Amarillo Daily News"

The right-wing backlash against #Superman this week got me thinking: Has this happened before?

That led to the discovery of these headline โ€” from April 1940, when the official newspaper of the SS took umbrage at the comic book hero and ridiculed its creators.

My how times change ...

Nothing says 'pro-family' like deporting a two-year-old

ABC News
Judge says he has strong suspicion 2-year-old U.S. citizen was deported 'with no meaningful process'

A federal judge on Friday said he has a strong suspicion that the Trump administration deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras "with no meaningful process."

The U.S. citizen, identified in the filings as "V.M.L," was initially detained with her undocumented mother and sister at a routine immigration check-in in New Orleans earlier this week.

After the father of the 2-year-old learned that his family was detained, his lawyer called immigration officials to inform them that V.M.L is a U.S. citizen and could not be deported, according to court documents.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Robo-umps at spring training helped the Phillies finally stop chasing pitches. Can they keep it up? The Phillies are 7-2 going into their series in Atlanta, and theyโ€™ve looked good doing it. At the top of the list of positives: More disciplined hitting. Can it last?

Thought of you when I saw this story in my local paper. (Gift link.)

Nothing that's happened so far wasn't predictable in November.

Many, many people did, in fact, predict it all.

Good day to remember that DOGE has already lost the US government at least half a trillion dollars this year alone. And likely more.

If youโ€™re already a billionaire in a weird time, you probably should spend a ton of money stealing a painting from a museum in broad daylight for no damn reason.

financial advice in a weird time:

-- develop a plan
-- find friends who support you
-- preferably 10 of them
-- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand
-- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos
-- get your wife back
-- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw

CNBC has a headline that says markets fear "Trump tariffs will spark trade war." What? This is like saying you're afraid Russia invading Ukraine will spark a conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

If nothing else, we can now be grateful that the longest speech in Senate history is no longer a diatribe against the Civil Rights Act delivered by a segregationist.

Thank you Senator Cory Booker.

Call it anecdotal, but my Canadian friends who are cancelling their US travel are not doing it because of tariff worries at all; theyโ€™re doing it because the US government is currently actively threatening Canadaโ€™s sovereignty and economy and theyโ€™re all justifiably furious
