The 80-year recipe stoking America’s Prosperity: 1) Free-market capital investments in brilliant ideas… 2) enabled by Engineering Innovations… 3) based on Science Research in Universities… 4) funded by Grants from the US Government. It’s time more people understood this.

In Qatar, Trump’s posture at the dignitary table resembles a man about to shove his own face into a bowl of slop. Is he too tired to hold his head up? Is he so bored and disconnected that he can hardly lift his face? Or is he just waiting for that bowl of slop to be served so he can go home.

The Trump regime is rife with raging racism and white supremacy. These bigots are literally importing advocates of legalized racial segregation (apartheid) and “deporting” people they deem inferior and unworthy based solely on skin color. For MAGA, it all comes down to melanin.

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight. Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like. We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

Romek Marber’s wonderfully elegant cover for the 1963 Penguin Books edition of Georges Simenon’s “Maigret’s Revolver”. It’s a lovely example of how gifted artists rose to the challenge of putting the constraints of the green Penguin detective range covers to pleasing & distinctive use.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

As of 12:01 am ET today, most auto part imports will come with a 25% import tax. Not a single one of the 10 million cars turned out by US plants last year was built without some imported parts. The tariffs on parts will mean tens of billions of dollars in new costs to American car buyers and owners.

Another round of auto tariffs just went into effect. They could change the industry forever | CNN Business
The average car buyer doesn’t think about where the parts in their their vehicle come from – but automakers do.

The government's benefits cuts, two-child cap and freeze in Local Housing Allowance are all *false economies*. They don't save money. They merely push spending into different parts of the budget, while causing untold suffering. Cruel, perfomative and pointless. www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ap...
The analysis shows that 206,000 children will be living in temporary accommodation by 2029 – a 26% increase over five years – while the cost to the taxpayer is set to rise by 71% to £3.9bn a year.

🟠‘s approval rating at 100 days is the worst of any president since modern polling. And it feels like it. His reign is catastrophic. He’s destroying 100 years of progress in science, manufacturing, trading relationships, and allyship in 100 days. It is the GOP that has made it possible.
