try to make sense of it

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Regime change in South America, what could go wrong?

If we ever wanted to alleviate violent crime by eliminating the group that is statistically responsible for the vast majority of it, we'd deport all men.

The market for health care isn’t at all like the market for apples or oranges. It’s life-and-death, with info gaps, emergencies, and insurance market failures. That’s why we regulate and subsidize. Pretending the market works isn't a plan, just as a “plan in 2 weeks” isn’t a plan.

A running team from Chicago posted that Trump’s federal agents dragged a runner (67 years old) from his car, broke his ribs, and caused internal bleeding. IG: dwrunning1

Disney lost about $10 billion in stock value after suspending Kimmel, plus whatever they lost with the suspension. So yeah, that got their fucking attention.

For all the blame being thrown around about who “radicalized” Robinson, isn’t this ultimately an indictment on the GOP poster-worthy parenting — conservative, nuclear family, gun-loving, religious — that apparently completely ignored that their kid was in an Internet rathole for most of his days?

Already sick of AI. Tired of AI results i didn't ask for. Tired of unsolicited AI suggestions. I can find AI when I want it. Don't want it otherwise.

Aggression against a peaceful protest. youtu.be/tX76exy6QKY?...

Watch the full video in the link below. Police attacked peaceful protesters with little warning. Very disturbing. www.wcpo.com/news/local-n...

I can't believe me it took this long, but: T.A.C.O. = Trump Avoids Controversial Ousting

Tariffs may or not be a bad idea. But what we've got is a tariff regime that's dysfunctional and dumb, illogical and incoherent, unclear and unreliable, uncertain and unresolved, and it's all because these guys literally never do their homework.

A trip to your local farmers market or grocery store in the summer is usually filled with a wide variety of fresh fruit & vegetables. In California, bean harvest is underway, & nut & grape harvest is on the horizon. With ICE expanding, our food supply, & the lives of our farm workers are at risk.

Commentary: Trump is deporting veterans and their families, as part of the cruelest mass deportation program in modern U.S. history www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

In light of the news that the US economy has *lost* jobs under Donald Trump, it bears a reminder that the US economy *never* lost jobs in *any* month under Joe Biden. What an incompetent loser Donald is.

Cincinnatian Jim Obergefell fought for his marriage to be recognized in Ohio—and for every couple to have the same right.  Because of his love and courage, families in every state now have the dignity and recognition they always deserved.

Thousands turned out in Cincinnati. Just awesome!

Over 116,000 people in Greater Cincinnati alone could lose their healthcare. All to pay for tax cuts for the super wealthy and big corporate investors. Kill the bill. Save Americans. www.wlwt.com/article/grea...

Tesla should replace Elon with an AI. Just think of all the money they’d save. And, it sure couldn’t do any worse.

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

Racism is when you believe a white guy is innocent after a jury has concluded 34 times that he isn’t, and you immediately decide an immigrant is guilty when the immigrant hasn’t even had a chance to present their defense.

Another step into authoritarian rule. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Canadian Voter: I think who I voted for would be the best to take care of Trump, because Trump is, I’m sorry to say, an asshole.

"It's time to declare DOGE one of the great failures." ...And I say that as an economist who is deeply committed to government efficiency.

Bueller? Bueller? Anyone? Bueller?

You know, I'd bet a real American President, someone who was strong and powerful and intelligent and well-liked and knew how to make a deal, could figure out how to get someone back from El Salvador.

DHS is paying the president of El Salvador to imprison immigrants from the U.S. in brutal conditions — and today, Trump welcomed him to the White House. Our government shouldn’t ship people off to be tortured.

Well done America! Keep it up!

Yesterday the people spoke. Will they listen?

Trump says his tariffs will raise $6 trillion. Assuming that's over 10 years, that's $600 billion per year. There are 134 million households, so this is nearly $5,000 per household per year. And it's like a sales tax, so it's a flat tax. A huge hit to the budgets of working folks.

Elon Musk took in another $8 million in taxpayer money this morning, as he does every morning. But Granny needs to eat cat food and live in a tent. Got it.

Details about a flight of immigrants that landed many days ago? Too secret to reveal. Details about an imminent military strike? Not classified, not a breach of national security and not a big deal. Secrets under Trump depend on who asks and who tells. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/u...

When people say, "If we're not careful, America will fall into fascism," I respond: "Too late."

These guys inherited one of the most functional state apparatus in the history of the world and they are inhabiting it like a crack house. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social. theatln.tc/AmsjsuT6
