In Trump's first term, media orgs would credulously repeat Trump's claims to have saved jobs. Now they are credulously amplifying executive orders based on misleading premises that claim powers that Trump does not hold. Stop amplifying misinformation and aiding his attack on democracy!

So, he's just threatening everyone who doesn't agree? Treason comes to mind ...
President Trump warned international students that if they support groups the U.S. deems terrorist organizations, "we will find you, and we will deport you." It's left many student activists anxious.

When you take a step back, it’s genuinely stunning how far any of this is from anything Trump campaigned on. It aligns perfectly w Project 2025 of course, but in terms of Trump’s public rhetoric, this was totally absent.

I was recently leaked a document that was written by and for think tank and DNC affiliated policy wonks and circulated in private chats. It describes in unsparing terms the threat Curtis Yarvin, Neoreactionary tech founders, and Elon Musk pose to democracy.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
