One morning, sitting in an immigration office in Memphis, Kasper Eriksen found himself transformed. A day before, he was a welding foreman, a husband and father of four.
Now, he was a detainee, bound and shackled in a detention shuttle in Tennessee.

In the days of grief after his wife's miscarriage in 2015, Kasper Erikson forgot to submit an immigration form.
The Mississippi father thought he was on the verge of becoming a citizen when ICE arrested him in April.
Now he’s in a Louisiana prison, facing deportation over the 10-year-old mistake.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) has a bill to return tariff authority to Congress. If it were to pass, the purposeless tariffs would end. Speaker Johnson is blocking it. Call your member of Congress, R or D, & urge a discharge petition on the bill, which forces a vote.

Can we please remember that John Adams literally represented the Redcoats who did the Boston Massacre.
Like, if you’re going to wave the goddamn flag and say that lawyers ought not to represent clients you disagree with or who are allegedly guilty, then you’re just confused about American lawyers.

The institutions of the American economy depend on the institutions of American democracy; rule of law, consistent regulation, stability, and all the rest.

The whole thing is important, but listen until the end: the US depends a lot on the flow of capital into the country because it is perceived as the safest port in a storm. Once that is no longer true, a lot of things Americans take for granted go away.
A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

I still don’t understand why Democrats would negotiate a budget when the Trump administration claims unilateral authority to cancel any spending it dislikes. As long as congressional Republicans endorse that position, they are not legitimate negotiation partners! An agreement with them has no value!

Pitch: Thinly disguised “Citizen Kane” style biopic about Elon Musk - but instead of starring a genius young actor, deliberately cast a very uncharismatic, bloat-bodied, empty faced, middle aged failure to accurately portray his completely wasted wreckage of a personality onscreen.

Three things worth knowing about the current fiscal debate:
1. When they're talking about savings, the numbers are usually billions (though sometimes millions).
2. When they're talking about tax cuts, the numbers are usually trillions.
3. A trillion is a thousand times larger than a billion.

Trump & Musk say they want to make government more efficient, stop waste. Yet they've apparently directed the GSA to rip out EV chargers installed at government office buildings across America & sell off newly bought EVs. And it could all waste $1 billion! www.eenews.net/articles/tru... 🔌💡 🔌🚗
Trump’s reversal of EV program could carry a hefty price tag
The General Services Administration is disconnecting charging stations and may try to offload the government’s new fleet of electric vehicles.
