The G in MAGA stands for Grift: The H1-B visa thing is just market manipulation. On Monday, tech stocks will dive and those in the know will be able to buy at a discount. In a few days, Trump will reverse course, stocks will recover, and those in the know will sell at a nice short term profit.

"I made the lyrics as intelligible… as Liquid Glass controls are legible. Come on everyone, sing along! You don’t know the words, but neither do I. 🎶"

WATCH: “In video captured by the Tennessee Holler…”
On @msnbc, @eriellereshef plays our video of @brotherjones.bsky.social getting banned from @GovBillLee’s Teslas-only tunnel announcement — even though it was a state event, in his own district.

How many reporters are currently working on tell-all exposés about their own organization, detailing all the acts of cowardice of their editors and publishers?

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
