This! The cruelty of this administration is beyond shameful.
Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.
Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

The top 10% of earners are responsible for 50% of consumer spending.

What happens when these persistent market losses and the overall uncertainty kill the wealth effect?

Sounds like a recipe for recession to me.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: Trump "appeared to announce a completely unprecedented American policy towards Gaza and the people that live there that on its face would violate international law and be seen by millions around the world as the U.S. backing explicit ethnic cleansing.”

He has lost his whole mind. 🤬
It’s truly remarkable that, beyond imposing tariffs in the hopes of stopping the flow of drugs, Trump says right here that he wants tariffs to nudge Canada into….becoming the 51st state.

It’s not just remarkable. This is not normal.

For @sfchronicle.com I wrote about Trump's new trans military ban and what is different from the last time.

Why Trump’s latest trans military ban is so much worse than in 2016
Trump's ban positions trans people as dishonorable, undisciplined liars by definition. The implications of that line of attack are profoundly dangerous.

What do you think about the idea of creating an independent media foundation to buy and turn entities like the Washington Post, NY and LA Times into non-profits and help keep them funded?

Mitch McConnell wouldn’t have to vote no on dangerous cabinet picks if he’d done his damn job in 2021.
