In "disappearing" a Ph.D. student, Trump attacks one of America's most powerful forces: higher education.

• $700 billion annual economic impact.
• $40 billion from 1 million+ international students, more than any country.
• 17 of the 25 top universities are here.

Students will be scared to come.

Some students expressed that, while they’d been aware of similar detentions of international students elsewhere in the country, it felt shocking to happen at Tufts.

As dad would say horseshit don't try to deflect was he drunk?
Gomez on Hegseth: "He stood in front of a podium in Europe holding a drink! So of course we want to know if his performance is compromised. If your people were asking if General Austin was compromised because of a heart issue ... this is serious."

Either he is THE greatest genius to ever live or he's the stupidest jackass to have ever lived...I'm leaning toward the latter
Trump's entire administration is defined by madness–rewriting history to blame all of our current problems, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, on Joe Biden, boasting about being a king and claiming the EU "was formed for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the United States.”
There Is No Method to Trump’s Madness. He’s Simply Insane.
His defenders try to apply reason to his erratic, nonsensical decisions. That’s a fool’s errand—but fools abound in this administration.

Yesterday, Gabbard testified: “There was no classified material that was shared in that Signal chat.”

So the Director of National Intelligence lied to the US Senate.
After the Atlantic published the texts this morning, Tulsi Gabbard is confronted today on why she lied in her testimony to the Senate yesterday. She says she misremembered.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Is there a published transcript of the chat someone can post? I'm interested why wouldn't he just stay quietly on the chat and just record everything? I'm sure they would keep using the platform he could have found out so much more.

Great update
Update 🧵: So we finally got official guidance on the whole “needing to prove identity in person” thing today. No, we do not need everybody that receives benefits to come to the office en masse. So let’s talk about who will have to come in person to the local office. 1/?

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

There’s already so much damage it will take decades to repair. If this craziness keeps going it will be beyond repair.

Today Congressman Mark Pocan TOOK THE GLOVES OFF.

“Donald Trump is full of shit…and he needs to get the fuck out of Mar-a-Lago and talk to real people.

“Elon Musk is a grifter. He makes Donald Trump look like elementary school level grifter. This guy has a PHD in theft from the American people.”
