The Administration misuses the word “mistake” for the word RETREAT. A retreat from the threat against @Harvard is the Trump Administration’s acknowledgement that they couldn’t win, not in the court of public opinion nor a court of law.

Remarkable: Fox News hosts are openly savaging Trump's tariffs. On the pod, @mattgertz.bsky.social is great on the deeper sources of Fox discontent. The plutocrats shouldn't have "preferred an insurrectionist to someone who might raise their taxes." Oops.

Having breakfast at a diner in CT, that posts 75c per egg surcharge. We joke that my husband is squandering funds with a 2-egg entree.
USDA reported wholesale price of eggs fell to $4.70 a dozen last week, not nearly worth the $9.00/doz surcharge here.

The Pope can stand up for people and not fear Trump’s retribution. 🙏🏻
Pope Francis sharply rebuked President Donald Trump’s policy of mass deportation of undocumented immigrants and urged American Catholics not to lean into anti-immigrant sentiment in an open letter to U.S. Catholic bishops Tuesday.
Pope Francis rebukes Trump over mass deportations, warns policy ‘will end badly’
Francis also appeared to take aim at Vice President JD Vance’s recent use of a medieval Catholic concept to justify the administration’s deportation policy.
