To be clear, the criminal MAGA regime who gave the Argentina despot $40B and who bulldozed the White House to build a trashy ballroom that ballooned from $200M to $400M is threatening frivolous criminal charges against Jerome Powell/Federal Reserve over renovation costs. Evil crooks.

Trump is going to use DOJ/FBI to try to steal the 2026 election. My legal team and I will fight back in court but we all have a role to play.

Tomorrow, I will offer my thoughts on what Trump is up to and what we need to do now. Subscribe to Democracy Docket for free to find out. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Having served in multiple countries run by ruthless dictators, I am accustomed to their tactics for keeping their populations under control. One of them is to employ a legion of fake opposition figures who promote the false narrative that "all parties are the same, so why bother voting?"

I don't disagree with this, and would simply add that the reason he feels he can accelerate in this way is because for what he's planning all he really needs is control of the United States Armed Forces and the money for his domestic interagency army—ICE, CBP, BOP, &c—the Big Beautiful Bill unlocked

At a White House roundtable, Donald Trump presses a Halliburton executive about why his company left Venezuela. The answer is blunt. They were forced out in 2019. By U.S. sanctions. His sanctions.

This is what policy amnesia looks like in real time.

This doesn’t bode well for the price of eggs.
What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

OUR GOVERNMENT IS WARNING AMERICANS NOT TO GO TO VENEZUELA BECAUSE THEY RISK "WRONGFUL DETENTION, KIDNAPPING, AND ARBITRARY ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS." HOW THE FUCK IS THAT DIFFERENT FROM HOW ICE THUGS ARE GOING APE-SHIT RIGHT HERE? THANK YOU FOR READING MY LATEST ANGRY POST. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/49xwlHh

And this is nowhere near the worst of her crimes. Unfit for office.
Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Great piece by my Cato colleague. “Since July, immigration agents have shot at least six people behind the wheel of a vehicle. The same playbook is used each time: the agent says they “feared for their life” as a vehicle was “weaponized” against them. Juries should decide, but we tie their hands.
Opinion | Renee Good wasn’t the first person shot in her car by ICE. The justification followed a familiar script.
Mike Fox: The officer who shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis might never have to defend his actions before a judge or jury.

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred.

This shows an angry man who was triggered by a woman. He stalked the car, ignored protocol & shot a completely different woman in the face—calling her a “fucking bitch” as she died.

That this was released as an attempt to exonerate this guy tells you all you need to know about these fascists.
“That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.”

Does this look like a “domestic terrorist”?

@KristiNoem needs to resign.
@JDVance owes her son an apology.

Shame on everyone.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.
