Freeland: "If these tariffs are put in place, it is going to hurt Americans ... your grocery prices are gonna go up, bc you know what you need to grow food in the US? You need fertilizer. 80% of it comes from Canada and you're gonna be a 25% tax on it? ... the WSJ is right. This is dumb."

2 of the 3 coequal branches of government decided POTUS is above it all…

Fundamentally, this is a problem. No, I’m not going to talk about much else. This is the only story that matters right now.

Everyone needs to know this…

The Trump administration is gearing up to restart immigrant family detention—ICE is already inviting private prison companies to bid on contracts.

Say it plain: This means profit from family detention, and US citizens in mixed status families will be caught in it too.

Their response to "he's violating the Constitution" is really "but bro is so sick at coding."

It has actually been super-inspiring to see people reacting in real time -- the lawsuits filed overnight, accountability tools like this being built.
New and important: we built a federal expenditure tracker. All expenditure line items that are available on the Daily Treasury Statement.

USAID was zeroed out on 1/28 and has been at zero ever since.

Hear me out —

If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is.

Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.

New — USAID staff received an email just a few minutes ago letting them know HQ would be closed to all personnel Monday. It’s likely some employees will miss the overnight email, show up and be turned away.

It was sent by Gavin Kliger, one of the young guys at DOGE doing Musk’s bidding.
