It seems bad that the U.S. dollar has lost over 10% of its value since Trump took office. Maybe the president should do something about that?

Really looking forward to the @jasonleopold.bsky.social FOIA for the staffer's notes who put this together, DURING a shutdown.

Not least bc (as @whitehouse.senate.gov noted), the Reid Hoffman slur was false.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

I grew up going to Zabar's. So many of my childhood memories center around the best lox in NYC (which is saying something). With Saul Zabar's passing today, the Upper West Side has lost a legend who turned his parent's humble store into a culinary institution.

Never before has the United States had an Attorney General and FBI Director who openly serve the president personally as he works to break laws rather than enforcing laws for the country, Constitution, and American people.

I don’t know if any previous one even said “the president’s agenda.” Ever.

Trump hates the American people, with the exception of a select few.

What has Trump done to help anyone outside of his small, wealthy circle of friends.

Acting as judge, jury, and executioner against civilian vessels would lead to war crimes charges with nearly any other country’s leader.

The image is an X post by David French (@DavidAFre
) from 1 day ago, stating: "Does a Fox correspondent not know that we can stop boats at sea, search them, seize any drugs we find, arrest the crew, try them, and imprison them – while also questioning them to help investigate the cartels? The choices aren't between execution and permission." It includes a reply by Charles Gasparino (@CGA

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious.
