The #Trump administration wants to put pile migrants into cargo containers and ship them out into sea.

Susan Crawford was projected to win an open seat on the #Wisconsin Supreme Court race, keeping the high court’s 4-3 liberal majority intact and delivering a blow to Elon #Musk and #Trump, according to Decision Desk HQ.

So Trump's just playing us with his ethnic-cleansing talk about Gaza, trying to distract us from Musk's rampage through the government — right? Some people (looking at you, NYT) are proposing this.
But Omar Baddar reminds us of why we have to take what Trump has said about Gaza deadly seriously:
"Trump does not see Palestinians as human beings. He thinks they can be moved around like cattle."

Whirlpool announces they are laying off 651 American workers in Iowa, citing the economic conditions under #Trump.
Has anyone noticed that trump speaks with some features of the #Iowan accent? I don't think it's the accent exactly, more the cadence or enunciation maybe? I noticed this when listening to interviewees at the Iowa state fair.
I then discovered that the Iowan accent is considered the most friendly and wondered if he'd adopted this way of speaking purposefully. Fake like his tan, hair, height, weight etc.
Would love to get some opinions.

As #ElonMusk became one of #Trump’s closest allies last year, leading raucous rallies & donating about $275M to help him win the presidency, he was also using #drugs far more intensely than previously known [tho pretty obvious to the casual observer], acc/to people familiar w/his activities.

More proof this is entirely unnecessary & serves #Trump’s interests alone.
• Distract you from his many other #illegal activities, his ineffectuality geopolitically, & his tanking of the #economy.
• Finally achieving his long coveted goal of creating an #authoritarian #MilitaryState in which no one is allowed to criticize him or even say they don’t like him.

Trump's killing people to further a personal vendetta.
Because Zelenskyy wouldn't help him win the 2020 election.
A new #Minnesota website lays out evidence to counter #federal #misinformation after #immigration agents fatally shot 2 residents during the #Trump admin’s immigration crackdown, deepening an unprecedented divide, experts said Monday.
Minnesota also went to court to preserve evidence from the Saturday shooting of #AlexPretti after its own investigators were blocked from the scene by federal authorities.

Even #trump knows how badly he messed up.
He had a press conference, answered ONE QUESTION then buckled under the pressure of the questions being asked, all of them bad, and ran away.
Then he flew to Maro Lago and is GOLFING after destroying our #stockmarket after saying EVERYTHING'S FINE!

How DOGE’s Cuts to the IRS Threaten to Cost More Than DOGE Will Ever Save

The Trump administration claims gutting federal agencies will save money, but cutting the IRS means the government collects less taxes. “If you’re interested in the deficit and curbing it, why would you cut back on the revenue side?” one expert asks.

The chief federal judge in #Minnesota says the #Trump admin has failed to comply with orders to hold hearings for detained immigrants & ordered the head of #ICE to appear Friday to explain why he shouldn’t be held in #contempt.
In an order Monday, Chief Judge Patrick J. Schiltz said #ToddLyons, the acting director of ICE, must appear personally in court. Schlitz took the admin to task over its handling of bond hearings for immigrants it has detained.

Trump’s Jan. 6 pardons immediately upended the biggest single prosecution in U.S. history and signaled a broader reversal that threatens to create a more permissive climate in which extremists could regroup and weaken the FBI’s independence.
I REALLLYY like the Send the President a Postcard movement, because:
a) I love postcards
b) I like imagining all the giggles every postal worker, etc will get seeing it
c) Everyone can do it
Please tell me you'll join in and send a postcard, or 2?
