Got myself a ticket for RG, for what is the price of 2nd level at USO. And that’s my seat. Just above Rafa’s plaque. 😍

US citizens, be prepared to be sent to prison in El Salvador without a due process for pushing the wrong person in the subway… I guess that means all NYC gets deported in the first round. 🤦🏼♀️
Trump says he'd like to deport US citizens to El Salvador: "I'd like to go a step further. I don't know what the laws are, we always have to obey the laws, but we also have homegrown criminals that push people into subways... I'd like to include them in the group of people to get out of the country"

With horrible literacy rates in US, 21% struggling with basic tasks, are we sure they haven’t understood “go right wing” instead of “do the right thing “? 🤷🏼♀️
The decisive test of our society in my lifetime was the 2024 election and our failure was spectacular and total. I will never again have any faith in the American electorate to do the obviously right thing.

All governments should now put travel to US as highly risky, as we already had tourists being”disappeared” and now it’s going for death penalties for everyone who they will define as “violent crime” (hint: anyone speaking and doing anything against Elon).
Pam Bondi: "Lock up the violent criminals behind bars, or seek the death penalty. And that's what we're been doing. We've signed death warrants, to seek the death penalty."

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

This should terrify every person in this country. The use of machine learning systems to approximate an individuals views on war and then, if they are here lawfully on a visa, tag them for deportation is about as sci-fi dystopian as it gets.

Europe, I guess we are up for a challenge now on: can we drink ourselves all the alcohol that was usually exported to US. 🙃
President Trump promised to hit back at the EU for announcing retaliatory 50% tariffs on American whiskey and other products, threatening on Thursday to levy a 200% tariff on EU wines and alcohol coming into the U.S. Follow live updates.

RIP Article 5
REPORTER: Are you gonna make it US policy that the US wouldn't defend NATO countries that don't pay their fair share?
TRUMP: Well, I think it's common sense. If they don't pay I'm not gonna defend them. No, I'm not gonna defend them.

This BBC graphic is a good way to show why reciprocal 25% tariffs will cause prices on some goods to go up far more than 25%.
A piston used in a car engine made in Michigan will cross the U.S. border twice, and will be taxed 25% each time.
Some products cross the U.S. border even more than that.
