The Big Lie undergirding MAGA’s immigration posture is that immigrants are fundamentally parasitic, they just take from the host country. It’s a fascist conception and also just obviously wrong if you think about it for more than 10 seconds.

NEW: Trump is abusing the office of the presidency to run a mob-like shakedown of Paramount and CBS News. In any previous administration, this would be a massive scandal. But not in the corrupt Era of Trump. Check out my latest:

Trump’s mob-like shakedown—a scandal starring “60 Minutes,” Paramount, and the FCC
In any other administration, this sleazy scheme would be a BFD.

A crucial question about the new tariffs is who will get exemptions. Without transparency and safeguards to prevent conflicts of interests, decisions to give or withhold exemptions are ripe for political interference and self-dealing. To understand why, read www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...
Uncovering Conflicts of Interest and Self-Dealing in the Executive Branch
The new administration could use federal contracts, tariffs, regulations, taxes, and other levers of government to benefit campaign donors, high-level officials, and the president himself.

“…push negative propaganda about me” = they keep pointing out the stuff I say and do.

UNREAL. ICE implies in a sworn declaration that MOST of the Venezuelans sentenced to hard labor in a brutal Central American prison without charge or trial or so much as a cursory hearing had never been convicted or even charged with ANY CRIME whatsoever, not even a trivial one, anywhere, ever!

My question is whether Wall Street understands that an important segment of the EV market customer base will not buy a Tesla at any price. It could teleport me places and I would not buy it. I would not drive one if you gave it to me for free.
“.. Tesla is on track for its worst day since July 24, 2024, when it fell 12.33%. Tesla has erased nearly $800 billion in market value since its record close on December 17, 2024.”
