I’ve come back from the ledge on this. I still think the administration is going to pull more and more desperate extralegal tactics against its critics. But I’m more assured by the reports that they are so bad at it.
As Trump is increasingly cornered politically, I expect the rate and scale of extrajudicial attacks on his enemies to increase in turn. People may start to…disappear.

In my mind, I find and replace all instances of “crypto” with “crime bucks” and it is never not totally apt.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."
WH claims 'inflation tamed,' per DoorDash stats. Company says that's not in its report.
It comes the same week we learned the WH would likely not release key economic reports for October.
