Chief of Nashville, criminal division resigns over decision to charge Abrego Garcia. That’s a big story and the details will likely be very damning for the administration.

If you strip away the egos and shitposting, the Trump-Musk feud is really an argument over how comprehensively to screw over poor and working people—over how best to make our society a meaner, crueler, less equal, more savage place.

The Real Reason for the Trump-Musk Feud is Uglier than You Think
Strip away the ego contest, and what you really see here is a competition about how screw over poor and working people more effectively.

Right now, living one’s best life in this fascist hellscape seems like a fruitless fight and a losing battle, but it is actually the bleeding, beating heart of the war we’re in.

There are two ways to frame this news:
1. U.S. trade policy and our macroeconomic prospects are much better today than they were yesterday
2. U.S. trade policy and our macroeconomic prospects are much worse today than on Inauguration day

Both are true.

Let me state the obvious again:
Nobody has ripped the US off as Trump so mendaciously claims.
On the contrary, the US has benefitted from an exorbitant privilege, that his predecessors & sound US institutions have imbued trust in the US $ & US treasuries. /1
