The wealth of the richest 1% in America just hit a record $52 trillion. These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans. Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now about the shutdown is meant to distract you from this.

This also reveals the lie at the core of this fascist takeover of our cities. If there were actually hordes of dangerous immigrants terrorizing cities, not only would Tech Bros be asking Trump to invade, Trump and his goons would insist on the invasion to “protect us”
It’s all a lie.

The US military has accidentally killed civilians of a 3rd party state before. But responded with apology and compensation, not a middle finger to the objecting state.
If the US were actually conducting a campaign against drug traffickers, you know who'd be a valuable partner? The govt of Colombia.

Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.
This is the official US response to Petro's comments.

The WaPo is becoming like the WSJ: a news side that does important work, an Op-Ed side that doesn’t even seem to read it.
This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements.

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal
To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

It really doesn't get any more American than millions of Americas protesting against a tyrannical wannabe king.
Warren: The only movement these Republicans can manage is bowing down to Trump. When you ask them about today, they claim the No Kings Rally is anti-American. They’re wrong. Hundreds of thousands of people protesting peacefully for what they believe in—that is deeply American. That is patriotism.
