@tyillc That is his Rose Garden Club. How is it legal to use National property for personal gains. Is he renting the Rose Garden? I doubt it? He used gov’t money to pave it over. Likely using gov’t resources for providing services. Sounds to me like a racket, shaking down those with $

Much of Trump's authoritarian power grab has been green-lit (at least temporarily) by the Supreme Court's "shadow docket." This allows justices to effectively make rulings in secret without explaining their decisions. Is it any wonder why so many do not trust the Roberts court?

Interviews from a Latino town in PA that voted Trump and is now economically decimated by ICE raids. Once bustling streets are now vacant. But no one admits they fucked up to a reporter. Instead blame is put on zealots in the admin who magically got there thetimes-tribune.com/2025/09/08/lat…

Democrats seem to have made their decision: they want a (probably short-term) extension of ACA subsidies in exchange for passing a budget bill. In other words, something Republicans need in exchange for something Republicans want. From me: prospect.org/politics/2025-…

We just published an inside account of DOGE's efforts inside of Social Security. It's what we've seen all over: DOGE showed up at a place that *needed* tech support. But instead of doing that, DOGE spent its time looking for PR stuff to tweet about. propublica.org/article/inside…

So @federalreserve will fill any gap w/added liquidity. That implies QE at the zero-interest-rate-bound. How would 0% interest on savings stop retirees from selling their stocks to, at a minimum, raise capital off of which to live absent interest income? I'm open to suggestions

SCOTUS at least temporarily is allowing ICE to question & detain people based on factors like a person’s ethnicity or them speaking Spanish. FIFA, if you're listening, not too late to move the World Cup and avoid a disaster.

1. If passengers book a flight from the EU and it is canceled or significantly delayed, they are entitled to cash compensation — $300 to $700. In the US, flyers were supposed to get similar rights soon. But those plans have been scrapped by the Trump administration. Here's how…

Let me get this straight: The same Supreme Court that ruled colleges CAN’T use race in the admissions process has just ruled that law enforcement officers CAN use race to conduct raids and detain people. You can’t make this up.

Amy Coney Barrett said we do not have a Constitutional crisis. If she said it, it must be so. When the Supreme Court overrules every lower court ruling that defies Trump & upholds every dictatorial edict, we have a Constitutional crisis. If she doesn't know it, she should resign.

The idea we are going to build more industrial capacity but only if it’s with American steel and aluminum, only employs native born workers, promises not to close unproductive locations… This is everything bagel protectionism
