Deportations were sold as a wage increase mechanism. Prices rose anyway because the actual price drivers are supply chains, corporate margins, and housing costs. The immigration framing was a misdirection that protected the real extractors from scrutiny.

Hey weren’t all the deportations supposed to do the opposite of this?

What did people think he meant when he said Republicans just had to elect him this one time and then they would fix it so no one had to vote anymore? Like what other explanation was there?

This is particularly maddening because the court allowed the election to go ahead when all the legal facts were exactly the same. The only real new information they have now is what the result was.

A source tells CNN's Brian Stelter that the FCC is preparing to "call in all of the TV station licenses for Disney/ABC for early renewal." That's an apparent pressure tactic as the Trump regime demands Jimmy Kimmel's firing. The fascists want to decide what TV shows you're allowed to watch.

This has been a topic in bar circles for weeks. Two Democrats are calling on the DOJ's internal watchdog to launch a probe into what they say is a "troubling pattern" of favorable outcomes for clients of defense attorney Brad Bondi, the brother of AG Pam Bondi, in cases involving the DOJ.

And this is a huge issue for the whole world because this is TRUMP’S ONLY TACTIC. He can’t solve anything, can’t understand anything, can’t out-negotiate anyone. He has no capacity to end a war. He will just keep making increasingly delusional pronouncements in an attempt to manifest reality.

The below quote is from Hegseth's pastor, Brooks Potteiger, speaking at one of Hegseth's prayer gatherings at the Pentagon. This is what they think about Tomahawk missiles that fall:
There's a temptation to think that you're actually in control and responsible for final outcomes,
especially for those who issue the commands and do the aiming and the shooting. Now you do
have a great responsibility, there is no doubt about that, but you are not ultimately in charge of
the world. The Lord is the Lord is our Lord. Jesus said in Matthew 10, not a sparrow will fall to
the ground apart from my heavenly Father. And if our Lord is sovereign, even over the sparrows
fallings, you can be assured that he is sovereign over everything else that falls in this world,
including Tomahawk and Minuteman missiles, including strategy meetings and war room
debriefings, Jesus has the final say over all of it
