Virtually every number or statistic Trump throws out on any subject - polls, election results, casualty figures, immigration, taxes, spending, economic, gas or food prices, - 95% of the time he uses a number for anything it is patently false and wildly exaggerated in his favor.

If Trump gets away with destroying Due Process for Kilmar Garcia, he’ll think he can sweep anyone off the street and ship them to a prison in an authoritarian state to escape our Constitution. We must heed the Supreme Court and get him back.
Supreme Court says Trump officials should help return wrongly deported Maryland man
The Supreme Court ordered the administration to "facilitate" the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly taken to El Salvador and remains in custody there.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

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.

Hiring your brother is the original affirmative action for white people.
Diversity initiatives were meant to overcome the old patterns of nepotism, so I guess it makes sense that the enemies of diversity are big fans of nepotism.

I just watched a story about a teacher in Idaho fighting back after being forced to take down a sign that said, "Everyone is Welcome Here."

This kind of stuff is beyond STUPID.

If someone is offended by a "Everyone is Welcome Here" sign, they have psychological issues that need to be dealt with.

I’m having foot surgery in the morning. No way was I going to spend the evening listening to lies. I’m listening to piano music, reading, and indulging in some dark chocolate before I have to stop eating. Then I have about four days of strong meds before I face reality again!
