Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

photo of the Army stage at Trump's fascist parade, from the lawn of the National Mall which was almost empty, with stick figure people drawn looking like Sharpie, since Trump loves to draw fake shit on photos and claim they're real. Reference to when he drew sharpie on a map of hurricane path in his first term, because he gave the wrong information on the path and didn't want to be proven wrong. Also known as, Sharpiegate

Were it not for the heroic efforts of Trump in his first 100 days, 1 in 3 Americans would be dead.
A post by the despicable Attorney General Pam Bondi which includes a truly unhinged and made-up statistic. It says:

Today is Fentanyl Awareness day. In President Trump's first 100 days we've seized over 22 million fentanyl laced pills, saving over 119 Million lives.

Note that 119 million would be 35% of the US population.

Series of Bluesky posts:

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias.bsky.social
Some of the big ideas I've been associated with in my career:
1. Supply and demand applies to housing
2. People like politicians who take popular positions
3. Police help prevent crime
4. The Orange Man is bad
5. China's large population matters a lot for power politics

Matthew Yglesias (reply to above post)

I sincerely cannot think of a less provocative, less trolly thinker than Yglesias whose whole thing is mostly just to insist that obviously true things are in fact true.

What Trump has done is FAR WORSE than Liz Truss. At least Truss reversed policy within 10 days and was ejected from office. Neither will happen with Trump. He is the worst combination of stupid, stubborn and surrounded by sycophants.

This isn’t a Social Security crisis. It’s a hostile takeover. Musk’s DOGE is rewriting code, firing 7,000 staff, crashing systems—then blaming the collapse on “fraud.” The fraud rate? 0.006%. They aren’t fixing it. They’re breaking it on purpose—to kill it from the inside.

Sometimes politics is simple. A man who speaks like an idiot will do idiotic things. That's really the sum total of the political analysis you need to understand what's happening today. But political commentators and investment advisers sought to make it more complicated.
