ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Bondi really wants to go to prison when this is over.

The headlines are grim, the numbers are sour, and the mood is bleak, even as the nutbaggery flows down like waters and the crazy like a mighty stream. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

“The self-proclaimed techno-utopians in Silicon Valley who have helped build, invest in, or cheerlead for these companies have enabled this ruin. They’ve traded reality for profit and prioritized technologies that aren’t just soulless and amoral, but inhuman in the most literal sense of the word.”

Illegal and shameful and just how police behave in authoritarian regimes. And also wildly unpopular and not the country Americans want.

Trump went on a late night posting bender last night on the war in Ukraine. He criticized Biden, he criticized the U.S., he criticized Ukraine, he criticized Zelensky, he criticized our European allies. The only person he didn’t criticize is Putin. Only Putin. Shocker, huh?

X rolled out a new “About This Account” feature revealing where each account is operated from. Here's a choice few... 🇪🇺 @MAGA_NATION — Eastern Europe 🇳🇬 @MagaScope — Nigeria 🇧🇩 @AmericaFirst0 — Bangladesh 🇹🇷 @1776General_ — — Turkey 🇹🇭 @DarkMAGA — Thailand MAGA - it might just be FAKE NEWS!

This is just from the past week. @washingtonpost.com @cbsnews.com

“.. Any speculator who bought Trump’s memecoin at its peak after it was announced inauguration weekend .. would have lost almost the entire value of their investment by this month.” @bloomberg.com $DJT $WLFI www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

“Two weeks” (rolling eyes) The Trump fascist MAGA GOP cult has no plan.

Scary. Dangerous. #Thugs #BeAngryAmerica

Imagine being part of Trump’s administration — a daily festival of kickbacks, crypto bribes, and self-dealing — and suddenly realizing that the place is stocked to the rafters with trough-feeders and grifters. Imagine being too dishonest for TrumpWorld circa 2025. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Good look at how the right is trying to retcon the past to justify its horrid politics and policy preferences.

Trump suspended the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) entirely-the leading force in combatting global corruption. Whistleblowers whose work involves international business & organizations have been completely betrayed. And there's only ONE REASON to do something like this. To hide corruption.

In this tough and moving essay, Caroline Kennedy's 35-year-old daughter Tatiana Schlossberg reveals that she is terminally ill with leukemia. She has some choice words about how her cousin Bobby has made the limited time she has left worse. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“It’s always difficult to comment on an ongoing investigation,” he said, as he commented on an ongoing investigation.

MAGA women behave like domestic abuse victims.

Under Trump, post-liberal intellectuals have abandoned tradition for radicalism and scholarship for vulgarity. George Packer on Laura Field’s new book, “Furious Minds,” and the rot of the MAGA mind:

I have been saying I wanted to write about this, so I am glad that I was able to just spend two solid days working on this story, basically without interruption. I haven’t had much of that since January, but it’s important, and I hope folks who appreciate it subscribe if they don’t already!

Thanks for everything, DOGE. 🤡 @birdyword.bsky.social

The Trump fascist MAGA GOP cult lies as it breathes.

The Trump surrender of Ukraine descends into utter chaos. But “chaos” is too mellow a word: What we have here is a rich bouillabaisse of incompetence, mendacity, tragedy, farce, and diplomatic blunder. Words have a hard time keeping up with the story. But we’ll try. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

A depraved and decadent Trump WH dinner for MBS was a stunning low for an American ruling class that's stopped pretending to carry a moral compass It was really a celebration of death - of democracy, of an overheating planet, and ultimately themselves.
