Multiple sources confirming this is the spiked CECOT story This story is confirmation of what we already knew/suspected — so @bariweiss is correct in that front. That being said, @60Minutes confirming that America knowingly sent innocent, nonviolent immigrants to be knowingly

Say what you will about Donald Trump: the dude never misses a chance to remind everyone he’s a self-centered scumbag of the first order. Absolute GOAT at being the worst human being alive.

For almost a year now, the Trump administration has insisted the new taxes, higher prices, market chaos, open cronyism, & aggressive deportations were needed to rebalance the economy to favor the American working class. The results so far:

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but I feel like if they are destroying economic data and then immediately rolling back tariffs, floating stimulus checks and proposing 50-year mortgages, the economic signals they are destroying must not be pretty

It’s not even fun to say “told you so.” It’s been needless economic harm and uncertainty while lying about who would pay, now followed by rollbacks messaged as favors.

Congrats, Americans, our benevolent leaders will give us "relief" from their own policy, in the process finally admitting that the policy has the effect (price increases) they insisted was never happening. Can't make it up.

Ozempic exists because scientists studied Gila monster saliva. The exact kind of basic research this Administration would have cut without hesitation. Breakthroughs like this happen only if we choose to fund science even if the outcome is impossible to see at the start.

Not only is this not true, real wages are actually flat since May, after tariffs were announced, as higher inflation eats into any wage gains.

President Trump's legal team before the Supreme Court just admitted that their tariff argument means a future Democrat could declare a climate emergency and impose massive tariffs on automakers to harm that industry to save the environment.

It'd be great if the Supreme Court saves Trump and the GOP from themselves and kills the President's ability to drive up costs on consumers by ending his unconstitutional tariffs.

Trump and Milei are complete opposites. Trump is a deficit-increasing, tariff loving socialist who literally has gotten the federal government involved with owning key companies and the means of production (Intel, MP Materials, Lithium Americas, Trilogy Metals, U.S. Steel Corp).
