When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for dismantling the NOAA, which provides warnings of natural disasters, such as the deadly floods in Texas. The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because it’s angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods.

Acosta: He can try to roll tanks down Pennsylvania Avenue and all of that—Hegseth can show up in a camouflage tie he got at the Gap—but at the end of the day, the real American strength, the real American might that was on display over the weekend, was in those No Kings protests across the country.

Back when I was doing emerging markets, I started analysis with three fundamental questions.
1) Does leadership understand what good policy is?
2) Does leadership have the administrative competence/capacity to implement?
3) Are there political obstacles?
Apply these to the US today. Not pretty

So look at that. DOGE has cost the US Treasury fucking half a trillion dollars. HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. This is your cost savings.
To review what we from @washingtonpost.com are reporting out of the IRS today:
- Projected tax revenue this year is down 10% ($500 billion) as Trump's downsizing is emboldening tax cheats
- IRS is nearing an agreement with ICE to assist on mass deportations
