US pushes nations facing tariffs to approve Musk’s Starlink. Wow the corruption. An internal State Department memo lays it bare:“As the government of Lesotho negotiates a trade deal with the United States, it hopes that licensing Starlink demonstrates goodwill and intent to welcome U.S. businesses.”

Trump told everyone to buy stocks hours before walking back tariffs yesterday. And this is the result. There's a name for this: market manipulation. And it’s illegal. He knows exactly what he's doing and will continue to play with people's money until he has everyone bending the knee.
After rolling back many of his tariffs Trump had Charles Schwab and others in the Oval Office.
He pointed out that his guests had made fortunes on the stock market just one hour after his announcement.
“He made 2.5 billion today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.”

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

In today's news so absurd you can't make it up, the new head of OFCCP is Catherine Eschbach. Who, you ask? Oh, just SpaceX's lawyer.
What does OFCCP do, you ask? Make sure federal contractors obey nondiscrimination laws.
(Except not anymore because Trump revoked a decades-long executive order.)
