The tariffs aren’t “reciprocal."
There isn’t a tariff “pause”—we have a baseline tariff w/most trading partners plus a ginormous tariff for China.
Those weren’t “deportations” to El Salvador. They were renditions.
News outlets should say what is happening, not parrot White House's framing.

🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.

why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been.
What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.

"The vision for Greenland could include a hub for artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, space launches, micro nuclear reactors and high-speed rail."
Where would the rail go?! From the village to the orcas?

Don’t be this person. Politics is performative. Booker is forcing the media and party to pay attention.
100k people are watching him on YouTube alone.
Criticism like this is idiotic and emblematic of the “perfect as enemy of good” narrative that cripples the party.

Sorry what exactly is Corey Booker filibustering? Is there a bill being proposed? A candidate being confirmed? No? So it’s just performative bullshit, got it!

the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender

Whatever the immediate fallout of the scandal, what is going to stick around is the impression it gives, of hapless idiots doing ridiculous things. And I think that seriously reduces the appeal of capitulating to these jokers.

my takeaway from reading this is that i have to assume that every half-competent intelligence agency in the world has an almost real-time glimpse into what the white house and the pentagon are doing

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.
Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.
Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.
This is what "merit" means to them.
