The right completely fails to understand that national productivity (and security) succeeds and thrives when the mass of citizens are NOT terrified every second (of getting sick; of trying to deal with banks and insurance; of starving).

More productivity = more for all (even the billionaires!)

Well, Miller likely IS making most major decisions in that White House (with Russell Vought being the one making the decisions that Miller doesn't).

They just make sure Donald thinks the ideas are his. It's not as though Donald will ever figure that out....

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.”

But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.

Don’t believe his lies for a second.

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals.

Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

But does Denmark have a head of state who can, on a whim, send $20 billion of taxpayer money to a dictator he kinda likes in Argentina?

No?

That's crazy.

Astronauts cannot spend more

perfect spheres due to the

Trump said he'd focus on the “worst of the worst," but he's mostly focused on people like Melissa Tran — a MD business owner who's lived here 30 yrs and is a fixture of her community.

Cruel.

I salute all who fought for her release. After months in ICE detention, she's finally home.

This question---our right to resist when physically detained by a masked person with no ID---will surely come before a court soon.

You're right--if the Regime continues in power, they won't be punished.

Giving them a massive incentive to keep power, no matter how many or how vicious the crimes they have to commit to do it. This is a theme of many dictatorships over the centuries: the minions who MUST keep the Leader in power.

Well, the Supreme Court has made that true for HIM. But:

What needs to be made clear for all the little Trumpites, aiding and abetting him, is: SCOTUS has NOT given YOU immunity!

Let everyone around him fear that all consequences of this grifting will fall on THEM.

One way to disenfranchise women: disqualify every woman who took her partner's last name, on the grounds that she can't produce an official birth certificate with her current name---so, "sorry: no voting for you!"

Safe assumption: Donald and a few select allies will make MASSIVE profits off "rebuilding" Gaza.

Good for Wired for being on top of the story of the likely Grift-a-rama.
