revenge campaign against the american people
So just to recap, the Transportation Secretary is scared shitless of public transport. The Education Secretary is being sued for enabling child sex abuse. The Health Secretary is bringing back measles. And the Defense Secretary is texting classified war plans to the editor in chief of the Atlantic
That would be Secretary of Education Linda McMahon who's being sued for aiding and abetting systemic child molestation, just to be clear

WOW, I never thought of Corey Booker like this. He is pretty impressive. I imagine he is earning an incredible amount of respect nationally...
Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.

Trump is so used to people covering for his lies, and no one calling him out on them, that it probably shocked him to have China flat out say this.
China denies any negotiations with the US. The US must drop all tariffs to initiate talks. "Any claims about the progress of China-US trade negotiations are groundless and have no factual basis." Trump claims “They had a meeting this morning, but he won't reveal who 'they' are."

The key chart right now:
Usually US economic pain is cushioned by falling bond yields and a strengthening dollar, which mean lower interest rates and more spending power for consumers.
This time we’re seeing the opposite, meaning the pain will be amplified.

Striking stat from @kellycnbc.bsky.social on this:
The rise in treasury yields since Trump’s tariffs were announced leads to an increase in US debt interest payments that is larger than all the DOGE savings.

Not sure if Trump knows this but he can say he won "in a landslide" 20 times or 20 million times and it'll still be one of the narrowest victories in modern US history (1.4%)

Probably you had to be around in Reagan era to know what a conservative icon J. Harvie Wilkinson III has been. Reagan himself appointed JHW to current position, as Fourth Circuit appeals judge, when JHW was in his 30s.

Exactly. And if he had committed a thousand crimes, it wouldn’t be a heavy lift to prove just one. But DHS and the White House offer nothing but conclusory bullshit.
It's not relevant whether Abrego Garcia has committed thousands of crimes. Disappearing him off to an El Salvadorean maximum security prison *without due process* is wholly illegal totalitarian bullshit. Everyone who has been sent there by this administration should be brought back, not just him.
