The Powell witch-hunt is not about revenge. It’s not about monetary policy. It’s about power. As is ICE. As is Venezuela. As is the fact that he does not intend to give up power in 2028.

I disagree with the suggestion in the NYT story today that rule of law is not working to stop Trump
Yes the "Trump judges" have been disproportionately bad, but the overall win rate of over 60% or >320 wins is still EXTRAORDINARY
And the wins in the most important areas have been even bigger👇

Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

They’ve been slashing healthcare due to “waste, fraud and abuse”.
Telling people they must “prove they matter” to receive Medicaid.
Yet this man frauded the system of $1.2 billion dollars and what does he get?
A pardon!
It was never about saving money.
It’s eugenics.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Does it matter whether Trump just illegally grabs money that was appropriated by her committee and diverts it somewhere else? She won’t do anything about it other than prattle about being concerned.

The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.5%, highest in more than 4 years.
If the slow down in job growth was all reduction in labor supply, rather than reduction in labor demand, unemployment would be falling.
That the unemployment rate is rising suggests weakening labor demand playing a role.
