The most interesting thing to me is that one of the fake books "... follows a programmer who discovers that an AI system has developed consciousness—and has been secretly influencing global events for years.” Are you hearing the Twilight Zone music?

US citizens are being deported and some citizens are receiving letters from the federal government telling them to leave the US.
As others have noted, it’s truly wild to see Terry Doughty write this. He is one of the most extreme MAGA judges appointed in Trump’s first term, author of many wacky, hard-right rulings reversed on appeal. When even he is appalled by an illegal deportation—it’s a sign of something. Wow.
NEW: A federal judge raised alarm Friday that the Trump administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with "no meaningful process" — even as her father was fighting to keep her in the country.

What does this even accomplish except make banking CEOs beholden to Trump?
This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.
The CFPB Has Been Gutted
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,406 employees at the congressionally mandated agency.

The Supreme Court blocked the Trump admin from deporting Venezuelans out of the Bluebonnet facility in TX — for now.
The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 has NO place in modern immigration policy. This pause is a win, but the fight is far from over.
And yes — Thomas & Alito dissented. Of course they did.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has blocked, for now, the deportations of any Venezuelans held in northern Texas under an 18th century wartime law.

Buttigieg: I know this in my experience, both in the cabinet and as an intelligence officer, you would have to go out of your way to take classified information and move it into an unclassified system

Republicans are in an uproar about transwomen in college sports. I researched how common this is. NCAA president Charlie Baker told a Senate committee last Dec. that there are fewer than 10 in the whole country. Meanwhile, there are currently 225 kids just in Texas who have the measles.

The U.S. National Park system generated $55.6 billion in economic output on a budget of $3.6 billion in 2023. What Elon and DOGE are doing isn't about efficiency but about privatizing public resources for the enrichment of a few.
