The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.
A WSJ visual investigation found that the Minneapolis ICE killing is one of 13 times federal immigration agents have used deadly force against civilians in vehicles since July.
It is journalistic malpractice for news outlets to keep repeating that Trump's attack on Harvard has anything to do with alleged antisemitism.
The president who uses antisemitic slurs and hires Nazis is not doing anything out of concern for antisemitism. His actions are about control.
I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.
If nothing else the hearings confirm there was no group chat for getting everyone's stories straight
I'm honestly running out of words I can use on the air to describe what's happening in and to this economy

If you are at an event where someone on stage gives a Hitler salute and that person is not dragged off by security and kicked out, you are at a Nazi rally.
Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.
Musk's ascendancy along w/that of the other billionaires in Trump's cabinet and Trump himself is proof that however fucked up our politics may be, the root cause of the dire circumstances in which we find ourselves today is an economic system that has exacerbated inequality to intolerable extremes.
Ignore the media headlines reporting that freezing federal spending or shuttering federal agencies “raise questions” or “push boundaries.” It’s an anticonstitutional lawbreaking spree.
@julieanand.bsky.social welcome!
This is getting overlooked, but the whole premise of Trump's threat of tariffs is based on a lie. He's claiming Mexico must be bullied into stopping migrants. But Mexico is *already* doing this. That's a big reason crossings have dropped. 1/
