Last week the Department of Justice published a memo authorizing states to institutionalize more people with disabilities.

The consequences of this change could be enormous.

New research from @nytimes finds that the US government is actively doing "critical minerals" deals with FOURTEEN different companies that have financial ties to the Trump and/or Lutnick families - deals worth around $9 billion in all:

This story by @crampell is one that everyone should take the time to read. If you think that there are benign explanations for what the admin is doing, step up and make them. The original post appears to be out from behind paywall: https://t.co/xGxUQUvves

I am excited for @crampell @EBGresser @IlyaSomin to inform the Rihanna Navy that IEEPA is merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to tariffs on underwear.

Trump ripped up the walkway between the West Wing and the mansion to replace it with polished African granite carved in Italy. "Paid for by me," he claimed. Except that's not true. Taxpayers paid $689,232, per documents obtained by @michaelscherer https://t.co/7l2bkD0MIH

SCOOP—a new leader in the Brooklyn Democratic Party, elected in Tuesday's left-wing wave with help from DSA figures, promoted Henry Ford's infamous 'The International Jew' on social media, calling "the truth" and demanding it "better be the topic on the table"

Inflation has a new catalyst: America’s massive artificial-intelligence build-out is beginning to push up prices on everything from smartphones to electricity. https://t.co/OWpx7kOVdz

A man with the same name as Alaska U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan is eligible for state’s primary ballot, judge rules, overturning a decision by state election officials. https://t.co/1Oq6juZSOo

Nothing wrong with leaders on the left wanting to push the party leftward. But true courage in this moment, on the left & right, is not taking on the establishment (that's easy) -- it's setting limits for your side, and telling your followers what they don't want to hear. 3/

I interviewed Daisy Rockwell last fall about the DHS/ICE recruitment ads featuring Norman Rockwell's paintings (without permission), and the disgust the family felt about this hijacking of his legacy.

I asked Norman Rockwell's granddaughter, Daisy Rockwell, if the White House had requested permission to use the artist's work this way. Her reply: "Curtis Publishing holds the rights to that painting but I am willing to bet they didn’t request them since they never follow copyright law. It goes without saying that they have completely misunderstood the meaning of the painting, which is tolerance for others and peaceful coexistence."

"We estimate that removing USMCA exemptions would raise taxes by $466 billion from 2027 through 2036—or about $300 per US household in 2027—and shrink US output by 0.1 percent and hours worked by the equivalent of 95,000 full-time jobs." https://t.co/gkbfOzvrvX

Wow. Trump just blurts out that he called up "the US Attorney in California" (my guess is First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli) to get them to look into the state's election count around Pratt and Hilton.

That was a five alarm scandal when revealed in 2020

ICE agents beat a man in Minnesota for following and observing their abuses so badly that they gave him brain damage. They chained him to his hospital bed for 5 days and charged him, but like so many other cases, the video led to a dismissal but not charges for the agents.

Alan Greenspan's legacy will forever change the way the Fed operates but, @crampell argues, in the short-term his time as a Fed Chair has inspired Kevin Warsh, Trump's pick to take over as Fed Chair.
