Question that needs to be asked and answered: "If this was an 'arrest operation,' as in law enforcement, then how do you feel about 40 civilians being killed in the process?"
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary?
RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.

The other thing about Rob Schneider blaming his middling career on being a conservative is that Chris Pratt is a pretty open Republican, and he’s in fucking everything now.

Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Fighting with each other whether the Trump administration is/is not fascist/totalitarian seems kind of pointless. Labels aside, it is not a fully consolidated dictatorshp, whatever we want to call it and we need to work together to get them out.

So the U.S. military just blew up 11 people on the open sea in an extrajudicial massacre, saying they were dangerous drug traffickers but offering no court prior evidence to claim such. And other military units are patrolling U.S. cities with guns and no training in criminal procedure. Cool, cool.

The White House has a secret blacklist of U.S. companies — basically based on how loudly they praise Trump, according to Axios.
I know folks are nervous about the word “authoritarian.”
But a “loyalty scorecard” sounds pretty damn authoritarian to me.

When tariffs were “maybe,” firms waited. The pause is over, and the tariffs are here. So finally, by August, businesses will be pushed to choose—absorb costs, reprice, or re-source. Expect consumers to really start to see price hikes over the next few months as the fog lifts and the invoices arrive.
