Even if someone was connected to a gang, the government can’t put them in prison without a full criminal trial. The fact that the prison is in another country doesn’t erase the right of due process. These aren’t normal deportations, it’s imprisonment on foreign soil at the request of the USA.

Stocks are still down compared to before “Liberation Day.” They’ve recovered most but not all of their losses in yesterday’s rally.

Be more likeable, persuasive, authoritative and presidential. Unfortunately for the swing / low propensity voters I think it all comes down to vibes, policy is secondary.

If it were a real Trump tweet it would have been found on Internet Archive. It’s not. I’m sorry, as much as I wish it were real, it’s not.

He’s a self-loathing sycophant who voluntarily tied himself to Trump, despite clearly hating him and what he stands for. It’s embarrassing and pathetic, but no less evil, IMO.

From what I can tell searching online, he talked about AI risk and colonizing Mars. Not necessarily the case that he said anything about EA here, despite it being an EA event.

Usually with a religious schism both sides claim to represent the thing, though. It’s not at all clear if Musk has ever represented himself as EA.
