Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Good thread on Trump’s sudden interest in Honduran politics and the tech bro libertarian bullshit behind it.
Wait so there are Peter Thiel-backed landlocked seasteading libertarian cities that the current Honduras govt wants to get rid of that Roger Stone has been advocating for that JOH also supports? And Stone has also been advocating for JOH 's pardon?

It’s so hilarious how Mamdani has broken the brains of the Chamber of Commerce crowd. My grandfather was a small business owning Eisenhower Republican and he would have been 100% in favor of all of this.
Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor.
Some changes that they can look forward to:
