The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

You can be offended by his environmental recklessness. By the insouciance with which he violates the law. Or by his deep-rooted racism. Choose one, or choose them all, they're all Elon. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Am reminded of when Ben Bradlee reported Lyndon Johnson was going to fire FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and Johnson, incensed, went to a podium and gave Hoover a lifetime posting, then told reporters to tell Bradlee to "go fuck himself." Would hate to blame poor Nina Totenberg for Alito enduring.

Trump is again pushing for a bailout of farmers, necessitated by his tariffs. 1/ Trump said there would be no American losers with his tariffs. 2/ He explicitly promised tariffs during his campaign. 3/ Farm country gave him the biggest margins. They signed up for it. Sorry, but fuck the farmers.

Kilmar Abrego García is coming home.
(Bloomberg) -- The US Supreme Court said
President Donald Trump's administration must take steps to bring back a Maryland man who immigration officials conceded was wrongly deported to a notorious prison in his native El Salvador.
Without any public dissents, the justices on Thursday largely rejected Trump administration contentions that the trial court order required actions that were beyond the government's authority in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
"The order properly requires the government to
'facilitate' Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador," the court said in a three-paragraph order.
The decision establishes a limit on Trump's deportation power as he pushes for sweeping authority with minimal judicial review. It follows the Supreme Court's decision Monday to let the administration use a wartime law to try to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members as long as they first have a chance to make their case against deportation to a judge.
