Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

Just as everyone predicted with the exception of Donald Trump, Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, and Kevin Hassett. The last 3 knew they’ve been lying, not sure with Orange Caligula because he’s a moron and a liar so in his case it could be either one or both.

Probably just a minor point worth noting, but as Trump threatens new tariffs on wine imports it just so happens that he is also in the wine business so the tariffs would benefit him personally.

NYT documents how Trump made at least $1.4 billion off the presidency during his first year in office, although that is not the full amount since many of his other deals are hidden from the public. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

It's so exhausting to to be constantly told by American leaders that the defining policy of the 80 odd years during which the US became the most wealthy and powerful country in the history of the world was a grossly unfair failure for them.
US trade secretary Howard Lutnick really not mincing his words here at Davos: "We are here to make a v clear point: globalisation has failed the West and the USA. It's a failed policy. It's what the WEF has stood for, which is, export, offshore, find the cheapest labour in the world."

ICE detention centers are rapidly becoming extermination camps. Yet another layer of depravity from this truly evil government.
1. ICE has STOPPED PAYING for medical treatment for its 73,000 detainees
ICE has not paid its bills to 3rd party providers since OCTOBER and the situation will likely persist for MONTHS, a Popular Information investigation reveals
Meanwhile, critically ill ICE detainees are not receiving care

What I am urging everyone here to do is sit back, take a deep breath, and let things play out. The worst thing countries can do is escalate against the United States.

That would require people run against them all. You can’t vote for someone if they aren’t running. And leaving Republicans in office by not voting is morally reprehensible in these Trump times. Democrats are a far better choice than any Republican.

A must read. It is a dark irony that Trump - a systematically criminal President - is a beneficiary of Republicans' response to Congress holding Nixon, the last criminal President, to account: A long term project to give (Republican) Presidents dictatorial powers.

ICE got plenty of money when Chuck Schumer folded and now they're saying fuck you. What a shock. If anyone continues to fund the government at the end of the month they are Republican.
