Hey, Trump, you claim Reagan loved tariffs as you do. How about showing that? The Canadian prime minister of Ontario made it clear by posting Reagan's words that he was not thrilled with them. Where's your proof?

Hey, Elon Musk, hadn't you better start paying attention to the health of your businesses instead of taking time on silly posts on X? Tesla's failing and SpaceX's hold on important contracts also weakening. Please note I muted and blocked your last follow.

Retired judge advocate general officers G.S.Corn told NYT that US was not in an armed conflict with drug cartels, notwithstanding Trump's "determination. He said he believed that the killings were illegal and was concerned about the impact on the morality of those who have to carry out them out."

I think the future will bring many legal difficulties for the Trump administration officers directing the extrajudicial killings he claims are of drug-traffickers responsible for millions of Americans with fentanyl. One problem is that South Americans are not producing fentanyl but cocaine.

Since the Midway Blitz began, Chicago and Chicagoans have been attracting a lot of attention. I've picked up lots of iteresting new followers and have followed them back.

Andrew Cuomo's quick to falsely vilify Zohran Mamdani as a jihadist but his primary campaign was lackluster and dilatory. I doubt he can win the mayor's office after that performance, but if he did, one can imagine that his service in the job would also be lackluster and dilatory.

Trump and his followers can't take the truth. It enrages them.

ICE and Border Patrol, not wearing IDs and name-tags and not using valid license plates on their cars, have arranged total impunity for themselves. Citizens unlawfully arrested and undocumented people who are mistreated unlawfully have no way to get recourse. Unmask them! Make them obey the law!

DHS stated in defense of using tear gas in Little Italy, that Bovino had been hit in the head with a rock. But they've backed off that, saying only that demonstrators had surrounded them. However, videos did not show officers being surrounded. Why not show what they claim from their body cameras?

When DHS on the one hand and the Defense Department on the other, make statements at odds with the available evidence, I think that the fact that they never present evidence, just insist, means they are lying. They don't have evidence to back up what they claim. What else can one think?

Plus, it's clear ICE really hates the yelling. They try to say it's illegal and that they are warning people they will be arrested for doing it.

A lot of folks may think that just yelling at ICE agents is ineffective, but consider the cumulative psychological toll of being yelled at EVERY DAY when trying to do shit. Even the biggest asshole in the world who doesn't give a shit about other people will feel the pressure.
