When he says “home-growns”, he’s talking about US citizens. He wants Bukeke to build more torture prisons in El Salvador for Americans. Not me saying it, Trump saying it. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

These orders aren’t isolated threats to Covington or Perkins or Jenner.
They’re existential threats to the independence of the legal profession.

Total federal spending is up +7% in 2025 year-to-date on March 21 over 2024.
The illusion that the fed govt is tightening its belt is contradicted by its own real-time expenditure data. Admin spectacularly hammering some things but raising spending elsewhere.
Was -7% just after Inauguration Day.
