We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. (1/2)

Crypto billionaire Justin Sun got his White House VIP tour. It was one of the perks promised to the top buyers of Trump's memecoin, and nobody spent more millions than Sun to secure the privilege.

Yes, we got a tip when the $TRUMP whales (biggest buyers of his crypto) were going to show up Friday at the White House for their VIP tour and The NYT was there. We had a list with their names. So we knew who they were. But they did not want to chat. I still tried...

Days later, Trump has revealed the full scope of the scheme: Summary deportations of U.S. citizens to a Salvadoran prison where they have no constitutional rights or hope of return. If SCOTUS doesn't stand up for Abrego Garcia now, it will effectively approve this plan. slate.com/news-and-pol...

We've heard concerning things about the Social Security Administration lately, so I decided to check for myself. SSA says Wednesday is the best day to call, so I called then. Their system told me there would be a two-hour wait time, told me to call back, and then just hung up.

Maybe everyone who lives in a ‘special economic zone’ should have to appear before their local tech lord and swear oaths of fealty and then those local lords could in turn deliver their own oaths to an overlord, and promise to raise armies to support him when he calls his banners…

Really worth watching this. Rep. Bill Keating is clearly feeling a little out of his depth here—not quite sure what to say, not quite sure how to react—but he sees work that needs doing, sees a stand that needs taking, and so he just does it. He just does it. Right on.

I don’t understand why the president is allowed to spout nonsense about colonizing another country and the 25th amendment isn’t being invoked in addition to all the other horrors this is insane. It’s absolutely insane. It isn’t funny or even weird.

This is unconscionable. It’s also defeat-able with unity & time. Firms that took on pro bono Gitmo cases were lambasted in yrs after 9/11, incl by bush admin. Not many yrs later, those firms were where every law student wanted to work. Eye 👏 on 👏 ball. Authoritarianism is the worst firm biz model.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.
