Abrego Garcia is not a "proven human trafficker." He has merely been *accused by the government* of being one. That's not the same thing. And if Leavitt is so certain of these charges, why is the administration attempting to deport him to Africa to avoid trying him in a US court?
Q: Does the White House have a response to a judge ordering the immediate release of Kilmar Ábrego García from ICE detention? Will you appeal?

LEAVITT: Absolutely. The White House opposes this activism from a judge. He is a proven human trafficker

No one has done more to counterbalance the corrupting influence of the "we can't have nice things" dweebs (Yggy, Silver, etc.) than Way to Win. This new report is well worth your time to read and incorporate into your work if we really want to win.
The politics we have as Americans ultimately is up to us. We can choose for our democracy to be a dreary march to the drab center or running over groups of people with a metaphorical bus. Or we can choose an imagination battle that realigns the center so we can fight and build on favorable terrain.

These ridiculous mega-projects like "datacenters in space" (doomed by thermodynamics) make a LOT more sense when you realize they're massive Ponzi schemes designed to transfer wealth from pension funds to VC's through "fee stacking."

It's the old Assets Under Management con. It should be illegal.

Farmers sell product on “market”? Comrade Trump say no! Good Patriotic Farmers let crop rot in silo, get check from taxpayer covering 1/3 of cost.

Glory to Patriotic Farmers! Glory to Great and Powerful Tariff! Glory to Trump!

Great to see @gallego.senate.gov absolutely savaging Republicans for helping cover up Trump's illegal killings. As I've been arguing, Dems should be taking *that* approach. Hound Republicans mercilessly until they agree to get to the bottom of all of it:

I thought the new US national security strategy was a white nationalist document opposing Europe and the Western democratic alliance, but the NYT challenged my assumptions, explaining that the NSS is a white nationalist document opposing Europe and the Western democratic alliance and that’s good.

Very sensitive intelligence methods like murdering the shit out of shipwrecked mariners.
House Intel Chair Rick Crawford on why he doesn't want video of the second Sept 2 boat strike released: "What the trained eye can detect from these videos may reveal sources and methods that would imperil troops." (But releasing video of the first strike didn't?)

📌Last year, Trump inherited an economy that according to the British magazine "The Economist" was "the envy of the world" coming off Covid.

It has taken him less than a year to completely wreck it.

Stuff with the US and Venezuela is bad and likely to get worse, but this seized tanker is reportedly owned by a Russian oligarch, and was sanctioned by the US Treasury in 2022 due to suspected involvement in illegal oil smuggling with Iran. Plus breaking maritime law re: flags.

Not piracy. Not war.

1) Get caught trying.

2) But it's not a fact, anyway. Al Green already did it once and there was no rules change. And how's Johnsons' record at passing rules right now, esp. one that'd be disempowering backbenchers?

3) It makes no sense to worry about saving a rule only by refusing to ever use it.
In response to using Rule IX, a Dem rep's staff member told me that "it's a fact" that the majority will simply change the House rules to remove Rule IX to prevent a member from using it to force a vote on articles of impeachment. It's a defeatist pov but curious your response to them

Couple of things here:

1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently

2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"

3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"

4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

I know we’ve been talking about the 25th Amendment being invoked for years now, but we should probably be talking about it a lot more and a lot more seriously right now.

Crucial revelation: Trump officials appear to be trying to avoid letting survivors of boat bombings get into US courts, where they'd have to present evidence against them. Can't have that when you're carrying out summary executions.
