At least this is classic Republican plunder. As always, strip the government assets for donor gains.

Yes!!!
I have long said this is more like America in the 1890s when a country with Black Senators reversed course and implemented Jim Crow terror while industrialization allowed the rich to hoard unprecedented wealth and new forms of exploitation.
It took decades (and a major depression and two world wars) before that trend changed.
Once again, the native Americans get screwed as the country reneges on commitments.
BTW, "Trump team is analyzing..." means they are soliciting bribes.
Yup, and imagine what 3 1/2 more years of arresting judges and appointing loyalists will do to rule of law.
Don't fall for it.
Republicans always allow a few vocal outliers to give the illusion of hope for the party. But it's never enough to make a difference - and in the end, they vote/elect/confirm as the Christofascist menace bloc they are
It's important to understand this is just one of many assaults on birthright citizenship.
To the Trump regime, children born of immigrants are not really citizens either. That's the real issue here - and they are going to keep pushing until the system breaks.
One day in America
- Judge arrested (and publicly shamed by AG and FBI Dir) for refusing to aid a courthouse arrest
- 2 year old citizen deported without due process and against father's wishes
- List of Jewish staff compiled via text survey at a university by Federal agency
- Federal prosecutor questions medical journal about "biases"
- POTUS pardons tax fraud of party donor and Biden smear campaigner
- Man found guilty of business fraud and sex assault still POTUS
ICE will literally need to be abolished and rebuilt to deMAGAfy it. Same with much of the US government, when this dictatorship collapses one day.
(We'll need a new Constitution too, as this one has too many holes punched in it)
A federal prosecutor is investigating a private journal for "bias"?
Face it folks, the dictatorship is here.
JFC, what a bunch of brownshirts the FBI has become in a few months.
Don't they just...investigate? Why are they making running arrests of undocumented people? And why arrest the judge who, at most, gave bad info? And why is the FBI Director announcing all this online like it's catching a major wanted criminal?
I know, the answer to all is to scare everyone and look tough for Dear Leader.
100% this is how fascism works.
Government is not about right and wrong, or following the rule of law. It's about Dear Leader's wishes and protecting him.
That's why the gov refuses to reverse an admitted deportation mistake. It's why they play games with the court. And why they fire the lawyer for telling the truth to the court (eg. I asked my client and they wouldn't answer)
Trump breaks his oath daily. He is the #AmericanClownEmperor
Oh, sh!t. America is arresting judges now?!
Brilliant move by Donald Trump, the #AmericanClownEmperor.
His tariffs have managed to get Apple to move its iPhone manufacturing from China
...to India.
Sorry, America. Trump's easy conman answers were never going to work. (But Biden's approach did bring manufacturing jobs - but y'know, too old and uncool)
Nice one. But we all know 78M Americans voted for a convicted fraudster and sexual assaulter knowing the only way to keep him out of jail was to make him king. So, here we are.
Trump thrives on this internal warfare. It disempowers everyone else and consolidates his hold over them.
No reason to get our hopes up. We should expect more, and understand it's a dictator's tool.
It's just like how they lie, when they don't need to lie.
Now they break the rule of law, even when they don't need to.
It's all about destruction - to weaken institution, boost corruption and consolidate power.
Is there any more useless news story than any based on "Trump says"?
A proven liar, who flip flops and gaslights and lives to be in the headlines. Just look what his conflicting comments on the Fed have done to the stock market. A decade on, why do the media still give him this power?

Of course, a blue Joe Rogan can't exist. No one liberal will get that kind of support from a corporate media conglomerate.
Rogan got a ton of money and huge boost from Spotify. Whether explicit or not, it wasn't so he could spread liberal ideas of equality and justice.
Great story about mass migration in the US, but it misses one key context.
A century ago, an even larger mass migration happened as Black Americans fled the South amidst extreme violence and Jim Crow oppression.
While this article touches on several different motivations, they all arise from a radicalized, violent rightwing intent on stripping away rights and freedom. Quite a similar trend.

Nonsense.
The IMF and World Bank were largely created by the US, have structural advantages for the US and the WB is always led by an American.
If Trump wanted reform, he could easily do it. But he doesn't understand them, has no reform ideas - he just needs an "enemy" to rail against.
