“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

There is a lot to love in The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coats., but this quote stands out to me this morning.
"There were elders in my world who took to nationalism as religion, which is to say a set of answers for both their politics and their lives."

Trump is the head of a criminal syndicate, and he should be treated accordingly—now and, even more importantly, when he and his accomplices are finally out of power.

As the GOP looks the other way.
“In the first three months, the Trump family has become $3 billion wealthier, so that’s a billion dollars a month.”
You Won’t Believe How Much Richer the Trumps Have Gotten This Year
How in the hell does he get away with this? Here’s the answer.

“Do a real estate deal,” the 94-year-old Canadian actor said. “Make a counter offer.”

So to sum up the Wisconsin arrest issue:

ICE didn't have a juridical warrant. They only had an administrative warrant.

The DOJ has not convened a grand jury to indict the judge. They only got a criminal complaint before a magistrate judge.

This is ridiculous.

I'm curious to see where this leads. Dare I hope for justice?
In a video posted by Elon Musk’s PAC, a $1M check recipient linked voting to receiving the money:

“My name’s Ekaterina Deistler. …I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now I have a million dollars.”
