If your plan is to put snipers and drones on your Triumphal Arch before it’s even built, then it sounds like you haven’t triumphed over anything.

This is still messaging done through his office. Why didn't he tell the myriad reporters he encountered today himself?

Sounds like Orban will lose the election tomorrow. But you can be sure Trump will be watching to see how he responds.

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

The president encounters a binder clip for the first time, then talks about it for a while. Remember when Joe Biden had a raspy voice and every major news organization created a 10-person Biden Is Old investigative team?

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this: America's problems are solved problems. Just not here. What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

Screenshot of a data visualization titled “The Cost of American Exceptionalism,” subtitled “What would change if the U.S. matched the OECD average?” The page explains that each card shows how outcomes would change if the U.S. matched the average of 31 peer democracies. Below, a section labeled “Economy & Inequality” displays eight cards comparing U.S. figures to OECD averages. Highlights include: +$19K per household per year in redistributed income and +$96K in redistributed wealth if the top 1% matched OECD shares; a 71% lower CEO-to-worker pay ratio (from 354× to 101×); 50 million more workers with union coverage; 26 million more people with health insurance; $2.1 trillion saved annually in healthcare spending; $691 less per person per year in prescription drug costs; and intergenerational economic mobility being twice as high. Each card shows the U.S. value alongside the OECD average.

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

Tying healthcare to employment helps corporate America keep people in line. Citizens afraid to lose their family's healthcare benefits are more likely to put up with oppressive workloads, low pay, and they're less likely to go on strike.

Maybe the most shocking part of this article is the fact that the Central Valley has no immigration court. Northern California still has the nation’s lowest ICE arrest rate. Here’s why www.sfchronicle.com/california/a...

ICE arrests have risen sharply under the Trump administration, but California’s policies have tamped down some of the surge.
