"The murder of Alex Jeffrey Pretti was not a mistake, or a tragedy, or a misunderstanding. It was a choice. The president of the United States and his regime saw what its masked agents had done to Renee Good and decided to do more of it."

"We have recently seen ICE agents dressing like soldiers, maneuvering like assault teams, and engaging civilians as if they are hostile forces....this is not policing and it is not military service. It is something dangerously undefined."

Up is down, down is up. Unemployment is a GOOD thing folks. 🤪🤪🤪
Trump: "All I have to do is what the Democrats do all the time. They hire a million people and then they hire another million and they load it up and it says, 'Oh, they only have a 3% unemployment rate.' It's a fake rate. With us, we're proud of the fact that we cut so many."

Even if Renee Good had been disrespectful to law enforcement, "a person cannot be murdered by the state for being disrespectful. You know where that can happen? In places like Venezuela, Iran, Russia, and China—countries ruled by thugs."

"If we elected an entire new government tomorrow, I don't know how long it would take to get those markets back....This is a real existential threat for the American farmer." Wright Thompson talks tariffs and markets with @timmiller.bsky.social on The Bulwark Podcast:
Wow--we would have broken the law even bigger.
NN: There's a report your husband bought stock in Musk's xAI days before news surfaced the Pentagon is expanding xAI's role in military systems. Can you assure us this wasn't based on inside info? McCLAIN: If it was, we wouldn't have bought 100,000 shares. We would've bought a heck of a lot more

Affected programs include ones that provide services like housing and peer support for people who are in recovery, as well as ones that train substance abuse professionals. As the administration says, "no longer aligned with SAMHSA priorities."

Donald Trump promised you no new wars. Now he's kidnapping foreign leaders and risking U.S. military lives, all so his friends can profit from oil. Hear what this means for America on the LP Pod: https://youtu.be/mKNI7ZRYmGA

Trump claims nations pay tariffs--he's dead wrong. U.S. businesses pay the tariffs when goods arrive, NOT foreign governments. AMERICAN COMPANIES & CONSUMERS PAY, not China or anyone else. It’s a self-inflicted tax, & only a dumb fuck would brag it’s a win. www.tinyurl.com/yck34msw

It’s a problem for the Pentagon chief that there’s evidence of his incompetence, abuses and failures, but it’s just as notable a problem that there are DOD insiders who are apparently willing to talk to reporters about his incompetence, abuses and failures. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Thank you for sharing news of our initiative... we are an interdisciplinary team of researchers from U of Maryland, UPenn, and Georgia Tech + more whose aim is to communicate the impacts of federal cuts on science and health research nationwide. Full explainer thread here: bsky.app/profile/josh...
Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc. Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight? scienceimpacts.org H/T to Prathima !

Here's an intriguing fine detail: @premthakker.bsky.social reports that university officials have discovered that the Trump administration has been revoking not only visas but also the student "status" (based on, e.g., maintaining required course load) that universities usually control
SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning. It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

“‘It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies,’ Dr. Peter Marks wrote in a resignation letter referring to HHS Secretary RFK Jr.”

The president is asserting an unreviewable power to seize any person off the street and ship him to a dungeon abroad. Nobody can say this is an overreaction or alarmism or "TDS" when this is literally what the administration is doing right now.

This is a major major major scandal and must be treated as such Call your senators Call your congresspeople
In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Nearly 10% above asking price? In this market with these interest rates? Right...
"A government contractor and lobbyist who served in President Donald Trump’s first administration bought Vice President JD Vance’s Virginia home in an above-market deal, a sale his spokesperson says was based on the market." $170,000 ABOVE ASKING PRICE
