A number of Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean, and Indian immigrant families in our neighborhood are moving out of the US. Some are returning to their home countries, at least 2 families are moving to Canada. Healthcare workers, professors, medical researchers… brain drain of crucial STEM professionals.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

Do you know what also does this but in a way that doesn’t open up unknown consequences? Plants. But, unfortunately, regenerative agriculture isn’t a high profit industry.

I had been reluctant to amplify the theory that Trump's "reciprocal tariff rate" for a given country was based on the dumb calculation: (bilateral trade deficit) divided by (imports from that country) But now USTR has confirmed it. Brief 🧵

The administration’s key demand is not just that they can send anyone they like to a foreign labor camp, it’s that you will accept without question their assertion that the people they choose are dangerous menaces who deserve it. They want your unquestioning obedience.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

The Trump Administration is actively covering up Russian war crimes...and trying to help Russians get away with them. Stop and ponder that a minute. Perhaps it is not surprising from a president who has made obstruction of justice an art form. But it is gut-wrenchingly awful nonetheless.

Every Dem that is playing politics instead of recognizing their obligation to stand up to authoritarianism should be forced to resign. They’re acting in fear based on rules and norms that are dead, and their old rules games will only hasten and prolong the destruction we are all facing. We know 1/2

The House just passed a funding bill that would provide ICE with a nearly $10 billion blank check to detain and deport immigrant communities with few guardrails. Senators have the power to stop this cruel waste of taxpayer dollars. They must use that power.

Corporations have maxed out on profit they can squeeze from US consumers. The only growth area left is to take over gov functions and remove any guardrails on exploitation of workers, natural resources, etc. This is not about improving anything, just profit for a few at everyone else’s expense.
