Last night I wrote about Abrego Garcia’s case. Today, SCOTUS confirmed it’s true. Even though their stay is just temporary, he remains in cruel & unusual conditions in a foreign prison with no recourse. It could happen to any of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss:

1. 1929 (the Great Depression)

2. 1987 (Black Monday)

3. 2008 (the Great Recession)

4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY

And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

Stop thinking of the Trump regime as a presidency doing politics. Start seeing it as a Mafia-style crime syndicate running a protection racket.
New in PN: There's no sum of money that will keep you safe from Trump

"The nature of a protection racket is that it doesn’t actually keep one safe. The cost to comply can always go up. The nature of what constitutes compliance can always be changed. And once you agree to pay, you can’t really stop"
There's no sum of money that will keep you safe from Trump

The president of Harvard is not.

Good for Princeton and its leadership.

WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!

Cory Booker is throwing down—filibustering & standing up to Trump’s authoritarian overreach.

This is what we need—Dems who disrupt, resist, and fight back. Booker’s stand is a rallying cry for all of us to demand better.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?
International tourism is worth $200 billion every year to the US economy.

Sorry, *was.

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance.

Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

The only thing standing between Donald Trump and his authoritarian dream is the courts. But to defeat him, we need lawyers willing to litigate against him. Trump is trying to intimidate lawyers and law firms to stop fighting.

At least for me, it won't work. I wear his scorn like a badge of honor.

In any other administration of the past 80 years, the defense secretary and the national security advisor would, following an equivalent scandal, now resign.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.

I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Defiantly,

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States.

If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does.

Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.
