3) 6 in 10 Republicans (62%) and white evangelicals (56%) agree that the federal government should place immigrants who are in the country illegally in internment camps guarded by the U.S. military until they can be deported. prri.org/research/dem...

I suspect Trump is underestimating the possibility that the military parade will backfire in terms of his consolidation of power and popularity.

The stupid is a feature not a bug.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Trump speculated today that he could pardon Diddy. I'm so tired of typing some version of "imagine for a moment the hellstorm of criticism on Fox if a Democrat contemplated this" But yeah, just imagine. It would be relentless, epic, traumatizing. It might end a career. Sigh.

What is a nation supposed to do when its leader is publicly committing impeachable offenses on a daily basis and the impeachment process is utterly broken due to slightly more than half of the nation's Congress being members of a cult dedicated to destroying rule of law

I was warned months ago by someone who travels high in GOP circles that Noem was known by insiders for being catastrophically stupid. Turns out that was true. Our Homeland Security Secretary, sent to Capitol Hill to TALK ABOUT HABEAS CORPUS--did not know what it was. Dumb don’t get much dumber.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

Wisdom from @rotimia.bsky.social

America in 2025: Habemas papam Non habeas corpus

Trump takes credit for first American Pope in 3…2…1…

Hauled off to a detention center WEARING CHAINS AROUND HER WRISTS AND ANKLES and she'll be held there FOR A MONTH before she gets to see a judge, all because she made an illegal right turn on red. Jesus. And remember -- that ugliness is the due process that the Trump folks whine is too much.

Best sign from yesterday.

This is legal gangsterism by the FBI.

If a Democrat did this, it would lead Fox News for months.

The guy who did the hard but right thing and conceded an election that may well have been stolen has to hate Trump with a rage hotter than the sun.

Someone should ask Homan if it would be ok to send him to a gulag if a completely different white guy he has nothing to do with commits murder bsky.app/profile/atru...

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Fun Tariff Facts: during the depression the US lost access to many imported paper products. They were replaced with an unusually tough paper stock made of hemp from the Philippines (then a US colony, and tariff exempt). Anyway, that’s why they were, and still are, called Manila folders / envelopes.

i have no doubt that senator van hollen was genuinely concerned for the safety and welfare of abrego garcia BUT ALSO this is what i'm talking about when i say POLITICAL AMBITION. van hollen may well make himself a household name and nationally recognized political figure with this move

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

Remember when a group of white nationalists in 2017 menaced anti-racist protesters in Charlottesville chanting "Jews will not replace us" & then the President at the time said there were "many fine people on both sides" of that event? The feds investigating antisemitism should look into that guy.

Me, June 6, 2024: “Conway envisioned [that if reelected] Trump would ‘try to violate every law,’ [and] predicted to host Ronny Chieng … ‘You’re gonna see capital flow, both human and financial, like we’ve never seen from the U.S. before.’”

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

Reality TV show called Uber-Lambo, set in LA. Unsuspecting folks call for an Uber, get a Lamborghini. And the driver complains about how he needs the tips to make his car payments. When ratings drop, you launch Celebrity UberLambo. Carrot Top. Pauly Shore. It’s inexplicable that I’m not rich…

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Americans thinking they have won over China really shows how little Americans know about China. Fox News might feed the propaganda. But the reality for America is dire to say the least. If this really escalates. China will play hardball. China will do two things

I realize this is over Donald Trump's head, but killing foreign tourism will increase the trade deficit.

Law Firms- don’t cave. Remember your moral code and the survival of freedoms in our country. During this crisis, be the person your kids & grandkids can be proud of. Unify. Stand together. Be strong

youtu.be/rStL7niR7gs?... This dark vision of democracy based in game theory is worth wider notice at this moment. It helps us understand what is happening with Trump and the United States. Because the hope for democracy is not that our elites are necessarily better as individuals...THREAD...

One thing we may not be accurately assessing is the danger of the dollar losing its place as the international fiat currency. Trump is putting that status at risk in several ways. First, and most directly, these tariffs will hurt our economy, and eventually, our currency.

Trump is a financial pandemic. And there’s no vaccine for stupid.

The tariffs are the largest tax increase since 1982. Just imagine if President Harris had announced a giant tax increase in her first 3 months, and the stock market took the biggest three day dive in decades. The Republicans would storm the White House. taxfoundation.org/research/all...

Reminder: All People Had To Do Was Fill In A Little Oval Next To The Smart Black Lady’s Name.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

Even if these deportees were violent criminals—but there’s been no due process, so who knows—the schadenfreude celebration of their deportation is childish, racist, and makes clear that the policy is not about security, it’s to stoke in-group enthusiasm for racial status hierarchy. It’s gross.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

Y’all, we are flying back to NYC today from London and I have never seen an international flight so empty. We are so fucked.

I do love the symbolism of a Black man breaking the filibuster record held by a segregationist who was speaking against a civil rights bill. And the intellectual heirs of that segregationist are the people Booker is speaking against.

This is impossibly bad news if true. We have thrown together with China our two closest Asian allies. We've done it for the stupidest reasons and in the stupidest way.

They are grabbing people off the streets of my town.

If I’m reading these new JFK files correctly it looks as if the primary suspect for an accomplice to Oswald was a 17 year old military school baseball player from Queens who suffered from bone spurs. Big if true.

Killing 400 people in order to kill 4 enemy leaders is unjustifiable and inhumane. Criticizing this heinous act is not antisemetic, it’s pro-humanity.

Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

Looks like the worst Starship of all time is no longer the one that recorded Built This City on Rock and Roll but the one that Elon and SpaceX built for NASA. Epic takedown by an engineer of why SpaceX is in deep shyte. www.planetearthandbeyond.co/p/starship-w...
