There are over 200 people that were sent to what amounts to a concentration camp with no due process.

They might all be innocent. They might all be here legally.

We have no idea because they didn't get hearings.

They were abducted from their homes & jobs.

1. Truth Social, Trump's social media platform, announced an audacious scheme yesterday to profit from Trump's tariffs

Truth Social will offer actively-managed INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS composed of stocks in companies who benefit from Trump's policies

It's a jaw-dropping conflict of interest

I am for every day all of us turning our first focus on fascism (or, if you prefer, authoritarianism) itself. They are attacking and gaining ground on countless fronts. Time spent arguing with those with whom one could be in coalition is time fascism uses to seize more territory.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

We just watched Trump & Vance do Putin’s bidding in the Oval Office & it was horrific. Not even two months into this administration & it’s a disaster for the free world.

The author of this piece was an associate WH counsel under Reagan. He has a very polite way of explaining that what Trump is doing with DOGE is a coup. wapo.st/4hSE7Ox

Musk is acting on the dystopian vision he shares with Thiel, Vance, and Curtis Yarvin—dismantling democracy for billionaire overlords. Gil Duran has tracked it for years, and Fred Wellman breaks it all down with him in a new On Democracy.

This is how I’ve been feeling. I can’t watch the news without feeling angry and a little despondent. I know I’m not alone in feeling this way.

Merrick Garland is not to blame for Trump’s return to power. The blame belongs with Mitch McConnell and SCOTUS for failing to serve as a check on abuse of power. My thoughts in The Contrarian.
