The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.

NYS Department of taxation just sent me a notice claiming i underpaid my 2022 taxes by like $75. This feels like one of those state level scams.

Unless he dies suddenly in office, he's probably going to issue blanket pardons to everyone who did what he asked. The people breaking the law for him are counting on this.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

My wife is an immigrant.
I just got a notification email that USCIS had "taken action" on our case, but there is nothing new or changed showing in their portal.
This does not feel great.

This quote continues to rattle me to my core:
"So what you’re telling us is you need less evidence to kill somebody than you do to hold them."
That's Rep Adam Smith to Pentagon officials in a briefing on Trump's illegal boat bombings. As he told me in this piece, they didn't answer his objection:

Awful: Pentagon officials told lawmakers Trump now claims authority to bomb people merely “affiliated” with “narco-terrorist" groups, Rep Adam Smith tells me. But under questioning, they wouldn't say what “affiliated” even means!

If you blame migrants collectively for the horrible actions of a few but do not hold white people collectively responsible when white people commit heinous crimes, that's racism. Just saying.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.
Remove him from office.

If the House ever reconvenes, every Democrat should sponsor a resolution impeaching Trump for the destruction of the East Wing. It's not his worst crime, but it should be shocking to the largest number of Americans. Of course it'll fail - but the whole party should go on record calling this a crime.
