If you know me at all - here, elsewhere, or irl - you know how important I believe it is to understand history. That it’s being perverted in this way and for this reason is obscene.
Think about this for a second. It’s grotesque and dangerous.

New bombshell from my investigators on Epstein's sex trafficking operation: the Trump administration has an Epstein file detailing 4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks. Hundreds of millions more through others.

Just awful: A 75-year-old man just died in ICE custody, ICE has revealed in a notice to Congress.
But here's the rub: This man, a Cuban national, was first paroled into the US in 1966—nearly 60 years ago! They were set to deport him anyway.

Why Did a 75-Year-Old Man in Poor Health Just Die in ICE Custody?
Isidro Perez came to the United States from Cuba nearly 60 years ago. This is who Stephen Miller is going after now?

We’ve become so desensitized to corruption that the Attorney General who spent years lobbying on behalf of Qatar approved a private jet gift from Qatar and it’s not even in the top 10 scandals of the week.

The gift is bad enough on its own, but can we talk about how insane it is to use a foreign-gifted jet as *Air Force One*
Air Force One has a lot of capability that a luxury jet simply doesn’t, and that’s before we even consider the obvious spying/bugging/security concerns.

Key point that doesn’t get enough attention - tariffs are deeply regressive
I'll say it again, the tariff system is being put in place by very rich men at the top of the U.S. power system and they'll be fine whatever happens. It's worth keeping that in mind when you see something like this from the president.
Trump to American business leaders: If the tariffs wreck your company, it's your fault.

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free.
This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file.
Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.
