Someone ask Peter Thiel if Greta Thunberg is in the room with him right now.

Argentina has defaulted on its debt nine times — bonds, loans, currency swaps, you name it. The 2001 collapse was the largest in history, tanking their peso and the economy. Then came 2014 and 2020. Trump’s going to make it ten defaults with our $20 billion.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

"[A]gents engulfed my car in tear gas, smashed my driver-side window, and pepper-sprayed my face.... I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. No explanation. No charges. No apology. One day, I was just told, 'you’re free to go.'" #KavanaughStop

In speeches, Vought spoke of “demoralizing federal workers to the point that they don’t want to do their jobs.”

“.. we want them to not want to go .. because they are.. viewed as the villains,” he said. “We want to put them in trauma.”

bangs. "They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other," Watson said. "That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where's the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, 'f*** them kids.'" Watson said trucks and military-style vans were used to separate parents from their children. Other neighbors said agents destroyed property to get in the building. "They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down," said witness Darrell Ballard. "We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military."

“Fuck them kids.”

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

🚨 “They put black people in one van and immigrants an another… Trucks and military style vans were used to separate children from their parents.” THIS. IS. HAPPENING. People need to see this. We all need to see it. Nobody gets a pass here. Please share with your networks. 1/2

JUST IN: Former Trump spiritual adviser and Texas megachurch pastor Robert Morris pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl.

He will serve only 6 months in jail and pay $250,000 in restitution.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Q: Do you think these tariffs are worth it?

Laid off John Deere employee: It's really killing us. We were told that they were going to do everything we could for the American workers, and we're seeing quite the opposite

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money.

Let that sink in

The President is unwell.

PBS comments: “his remarks were rambling and incoherent,” in multiple appearances.

The Guardian calls some of his speeches “baffling” and “weirder than ever.”

Cambridge analysis says that his statements often require “translation” or annotation to make sense.

All the times Trump said the president is responsible for any government shut down and should be fired for it.

No, full stop!

Fuck this dumpster fire who wants you dead!!!!

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

FBI boss Kash Patel gave New Zealand officials 3D-printed guns illegal to possess under local laws On a visit to New Zealand, FBI Director Kash Patel gave the country’s police and spy bosses gifts of inoperable pistols that were illegal to possess under local gun laws and had to be destroyed.

FBI Director Engages in Illegal International Arms Dealing.

If you heard the leader of another nation threatening to unleash the military against his perceived political enemies, what would you call it?

NEVER FORGET: Those of us on Medicare know it's NOT free. In addition to monthly premiums for Part B & IF we choose Traditional Medicare, we NEED a Supplement & Part D RX plan. And if you are SUBSIDIZED like me & millions YOU'LL pay the Supplement & RX PREMIUMS.

Due to BBB & TRUMP, PREMIUMS ARE ⬆️⬆️⬆️

The Secretary of Defense who only got the job because the president saw him on the teevee is complaining about military leaders who were promoted "for the wrong reasons"

From the war torn hellscape of Portland, Oregon

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

If you were in the room during Hegseth and Trump's speech, and you'd like to share your response anonymously, reach out to me on Signal (in bio.) Share widely.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

If Congress doesn’t act to extend the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits, KFF’s latest analysis finds that premium payments would more than double on average in 2026.

CDC, your friends and colleagues have been gathering resources and networking since January. We don’t know how long we are about to go without pay or if we will be fired. But we do know we have each other. Dig deep and hold fast. DM on signal if you need to get connected.

Goodnight 💚

Why Won’t Farmers Rebel Against Trumponomics? Because They’re Rich. The majority of family farmers aren’t working-class strivers. They’re affluent, politically connected businessmen who know when their next bailout is coming.

The majority of “family farmers” aren’t working-class strivers. They’re affluent, politically connected businessmen who know when their next bailout is coming.
