I know he's laughing it up on Newsmax and is never going to be challenged there, but anytime anyone shares any claim made by J.D. Vance it should come with the reminder that this is a man who lied about Haitian immigrants eating pets in Ohio and then admitted he lied just to get attention.

There's a chance Vance will be on the Sunday shows lying about hunting "sex offenders" in Minnesota. Any journalist who does not say, "Why should we believe you when you previously admitted you lied about Haitian immigrants eating pets" is committing journalistic malpractice.

We know that when jobless claims are low and credit spreads are tight, the dollar isn’t acting as a safe haven in response to Trump-induced volatility, and why would it? But if econ/market turbulence picked up for “normal reasons” it’s less clear.

The authorities in Serbia know they are safe in power as long as the symbol of the so-called “opposition-student” protest is the symbol of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine: the Flag of the Orthodox Army. That message is echoed by both RTS and the Serbian Orthodox Church.

If ICE truly were targeting "the worst of the worst" and not, you know, deliberately brutalizing innocent families with children, they'd rush to correct all the stories like this one, apologizing and insisting it's not what they're really doing.
They don't because this is deliberate. This is it.

The parents of a 7 year old, all of whom are in the process of applying for asylum, took their daughter to the ER when her nose wouldn't stop bleeding. ICE picked them up near the hospital and they are now in detention in Texas, presumably awaiting deportation. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Here's one of the panels that Trump just removed from the President's House site in Philadelphia. (I took this picture of it last March. A couple of weeks later I led a walking tour that included the site.) Does this information "disparage" the United States?
