We were just suspended without warning from threads and Instagram. We have no idea why.

If any of y’all are on those apps and want to let them know to fix that we would be appreciative.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

This is a lawless regime.
The Trump administration deported a 31-year-old Salvadoran man minutes after a federal appeals court barred his removal while his case proceeded, the government admitted in a court filing this week.

Apparently 1-in-3 Americans would have suffered fentanyl-related deaths in the last 100 days (from each taking one fifth of a pill) if not for the Attorney General's innumeracy.

You mean the regulations Trump promised to and did repeal on day one???
Miller: "If you had a choice between a doll from China that might have lead paint from it that is not as well constructed, as a doll made in America that has a highly environmental and regulatory standard & those two products are both on Amazon, that yes, you probably would be willing to pay more."

I think the way to turn this administration’s tanking polls around is to have this creep talk about his plans for our children as much as possible.
Stephen Miller: "Children will be taught to love America. Children will be taught to be patriots. Children will be taught civic values for schools that want federal taxpayer funding ... we're gonna make sure these funds are not being used to promote communist ideology."

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

Scattershot, extreme, untargeted, here-today-gone-tomorrow tariffs like Trump's probably can't work on *either* count.

But they certainly cannot work on both.

A few reporters keep pointing this out. All should.

What a great day to remember that Trump, in coordination with a factory in China, violated Gibson Guitars intellectual property rights.

And he did the same thing to Omega watches and many other companies.

Correct. And that is a feature, not a bug for Donald Trump.
Cohn: "Tariffs are highly regressive. Meaning that poorer people end up paying a disproportionate percentage of the tariffs."

The interesting thing is that according to our own Justice Department, MS-13 began restricting tattoos (c. 2015) on its members precisely bc law enforcement was using them to ID them. Members have to get permission, which means fewer people would have them over last decade

Justice Barrett has since recused herself. As I reported, her close friend, Notre Dame law professor Nicole Stelle Garnett has worked with St. Isidore from the start of its application process.

But this is not nearly where the potential conflicts end.
