So, just to repeat, there is literally one economist in the world cheering this tariff war: Peter Navarro, and his theories are not only crackpot, but rest on the work of a scholar that he made up.

I don't think it's being talked about enough that Trump is basing his tariff assaults on Peter Navarro, and Navaro's theories rest on the "research" of "Ron Varo" which is an economist he made up and cited for decades: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP-e...

Whenever this all ends, and who knows when that will be, the United States is going to need a Truth & Reconciliation Commission. There has to be a full accounting of the wrongdoing and the collaborators.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
They're trying to get away with it again.

This is such fantastic news. Seeing the way that Judge Reyes acted during the hearings, I am not surprised - she saw right through their bullshit. The fight isn't over for our trans friends in the military, but this is an important victory.
INCREDIBLE Ruling!
Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus.
Trans military members may continue to serve.

Senator Mark Kelly was commander of the Space Shuttle. He flew four missions to space. He flew 39 combat missions in Iraq. He went to visit Ukraine for himself & is calling for its freedom to be defended.
So, Elon Musk brands him a "traitor".

“ICE’s arrest and detention of Mahmoud follows the US government’s open repression of student activism and political speech, specifically targeting students at Columbia University for criticism of Israel’s assault on Gaza,” Khalil’s lawyer, Amy Greer said.
During the first Trump administration, Columbia called itself a "sanctuary campus." Now, they're rolling out the red carpet for federal agents. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

After Trump's promise to deport students protesters, ICE arrested an activist who helped lead pro-Palestine actions at Columbia University.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.
