The CEO of J.P. Morgan, Jamie Dimon, just sold 133,639 shares worth around $31.5 million.

If that doesn’t tell you something about the state of our economy under Donald Trump, I don’t know what will.

3/4. If we accept the idea that moving a person from one place to another undoes rights and disempowers the judiciary, we are endorsing the basic Nazism practice that enabled the killing of millions.

8/ This is a watershed moment, as Trump thumbs his nose at a Supreme Court ruling, gaslighting the public by pretending his won 9-0 when he lost 9-0.

If we normalize this, there's no end. He can lock up or remove anyone. We will no longer exist in a democracy.

So by paying our taxes, we pay for a Central American dictator who runs the 116th-richest nation in the world to build five more supermax concentration camps slated to be filled with our countrymen and wholly innocent legal permanent residents of the United States? Is that right?

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.
