All of those is true if you apply logic. But the ere is no logic to any of this until you see it through the filter of the criminal enterprise that this white house regime has become. Seen through that lens, everything becomes clear. It’s about looting the federal system by legal fiat.

If only…this is an entrenched, corrupt regime with a death grip on power. If history has taught us anything about situations like this it’s that it’s going to take a lot more effort by a lot more people to get rid of this criminal enterprise.

It's free reign for real criminals as Trump's FBI focuses on immigrant grandmas.

Nearly half of FBI agents in major offices reassigned to immigration enforcement

Data shows stunning shift in law enforcement priorities that has raised public safety concerns

It might be hard to convey to people outside economics just how seismic this is. The Trump effect has most certainly arrived to US academia.

This WH liaison's actions were a clear attempt to exert power and create an uncomfortable, potentially unsafe situation for his co-worker.

A human resources complaint was eventually filed, but was retracted days later, as she feared retaliation. No one is safe.

Curious if folks are getting the impression that those around them are unaware antifa is not an org? We know this admin is dead set on pretending it is & many media are uncritically perpetuating that. Feels like we’re watching an elite disinfo campaign move in both a rapid and absurdist fashion.

Karl Bode @karlbode.com · 2d

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats"

subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.
