The president won't rule out a pardon for the convicted pedophile and sex trafficker who worked for his best friend, another convicted pedophile and sex trafficker who died in prison on his watch. Probably nothing to see here. Just a diligent civil servant not wanting to speak too hastily.

ICE is now more well-funded than the majority of the world’s militaries. And that money is being used to recruit, staff, and deploy people just like these two men all across America.

2. Last week in Chicago, hundreds of federal agents descended on an apartment complex. 67-year-old Roderick Johnson, a citizen, “said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties.” Johnson “was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours" before he was released.

1. Federal agents from ICE and other agencies are wrongly detaining U.S. citizens, sometimes detaining them for days, on suspicion that they are undocumented immigrants. The raids are done without search warrants or other procedures designed to protect civil liberties.

Alt text: A screenshot of a Fox News tweet. The tweet reads: “Stephen Miller on @seanhannity: ‘The Democrat Party is not a political party. It is a domestic extremist organization.’” Below is a paused video of Stephen Miller speaking on Fox News, wearing a suit and tie. The word “KILLERS” in red text appears over his mouth.

All of this is to say that we're in two massive bubbles distorting our reality that Trump is using to drive the Court to give him permission to finish off democracy (and maybe a big chunk of their life savings). The only poll he cares about is the stock market and it's telling him: GO FOR IT ALL.

It's Nobel Prize week! A good time to remember that the economics prize was created by Swedish bankers in 1968 (67 years after the 5 original Nobel prizes) against the wishes of the Nobel family, partly to legitimize neoclassical economics in the public eye and partly to help banks avoid regulation.

A huge group of people are in a giant hole in the middle of a rolling field. There is a large sign with an arrow pointing to the hole that says "HOLE." Suddenly the group's attention turns to a new hole, complete with a giant sign with an arrow pointing to it that says "NEW HOLE." One person points to the new hole and says "hey look! Someone made a new hole!" The mass clamours out of the old hole and makes a bee-line toward the new hole. It's chaos. One person, now situated in the new hole says "this feels like how the old hole used to feel." Another person nods in agreement.
