On the same day the White House announced an “AI Action Plan,” one Trump investment account bought between $6-$30 million worth of stock in some of the biggest tech companies.

Yes, that raises corruption concerns.

This costs about $3M per day to have 5000 guardsmen in Washington DC.

There are 924 days until Inauguration Day so it’s going to cost taxpayers about $2.7B for this ridiculous stunt.

Wasting money is Trump’s signature economic policy.

@JoyceWhiteVance @indianantifa87 If there are any other Senate offices that would like to make an announcement about the death of a senator, this would be a very good time.

Todd Blanche fired the DOJ pardon attorney for refusing to restore gun rights to convicted domestic abuser Mel Gibson…as a favor for a friend of Trump

Then he sent US Marshals to her home to intimidate her into silence

Hey @durbin.senate.gov and @amyklobuchar.com.
There may in theory be a case for the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act (CORCA). But the idea of expanding DHS/ICE's power NOW in a surveillance bill is nuts. Don't add it to the NDAA. Withdraw your support. No new powers for ICE.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

As I wrote a year ago, watch the actions of the Trump admin through the eyes of someone who has watched democracy turn into autocracy. Centralizing election authority, expanding federalized troops and putting them in the streets, cracking down on the press. It's not original.

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Imagine this: An undocumented immigrant gets in her car. She drives past the local college on her way to work. When she arrives home, ICE agents surround her. The cameras on the college campus was feeding the data to law enforcement to track down targets for ICE enforcement.

This isn't Minority Report, this is real life.

This week Kyiv was hit by missiles & Irish politicians are STILL defending the refinery supplying Russia’s war machine.

Today, another ship sailed from Ireland to Russia.

For years, the government tried to cover this up. Now the truth is coming out

Some thoughts about how Trump’s various “renovations” are not just about his megalomania or aesthetic, but it’s also about corruption.

It’s important we recognize it, understand what’s happening, and then call them out for their corruption.

So we are paying billions of dollars for military aircraft, fuel, and pilot training for an endless series of flyovers of American cities and beaches now? At the same time we learn that the military has burned through a record $1 trillion in the past year under warmonger Trump?

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

Donald Trump cannot cancel elections but he can try to make it harder for people to vote and easier for the GOP to cheat. That includes misuse of the federal government and inciting his MAGA mob of election vigilantes.

We need to be ready to send up and protect elections.

@feederofcats The way they look at you as their protector and theirr provider. That is the look of love.

[Ricky Davila @TheRickyDavila]

According to witnesses, ICE-Gestapo killers were heard and seen mocking Lorenzo Salgado Araujo after they shot him to death. He never rammed them, he never taunted them.

It was murder, plain and simple.

One lesson of the Trump years: the US signature on an international agreement is worthless. There was an agreement in place to govern the bridge. Trump repudiated the agreement at behest of a donor with a direct anti-public-interest stake.

[Mackenzie Gray @Gray_Mackenzie]

Here are some of the details on what Canada had to give up to open the Gordie Howe Bridge, as per a Canadian government source.

For the first 15 years, Canada gets 50% of toll profits and the other 50% goes into a regional "economic development fund." What that fund does and who runs, is not clear

Under the previous agreement, Canada was to receive 100% of toll profit until they were made whole on the $6.4B they spent to build the bridge, which Michigan/the US contributed $0. The agreement also says it could be 50+ years before Canada was whole, that timeline is now longer.

The Americans will have to agree if Canada wants to increase the bridge tolls by more than 10%, or lower them below compared regional averages.

That clause helps out the owners of the Ambassador Bridge, the Maroun family, who have donated to the Trump administration and previously to US ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra, to try and stop the new bridge from opening #cdnpoli

Trump Accounts are no longer going to be optional- so if you ever plan on having a child in the USA, you should read what I found:

According to the @SocialSecurity Administration's announcement last week, they are modifying the hospital birth registration form so that a Trump Account is AUTOMATICALLY created for your child through that same process.

It will be bundled into the Enumeration at Birth program (EAB), which is the already automated gov pipeline that gives your newborn a Social Security number. It’s one box that you check, you don’t have the option of unbundling it. So if you want your kid to have a Social Security number, they have to have a Trump account.

Which is strange, because according to the IRS and @USTreasury’s public announcements, these accounts only open when a parent actively elects to open one. So which is it? Why is nobody in the government interested in explaining this flagrant contradiction?

Who is going to answer the basic question of what a parent does if they don’t want a government-linked investment account (one that collects biometric data, by the way) created for their child at the exact moment their child’s Social Security number issued?

They can call it a savings account all they want, but a $1,000 deposit is a hell of a cheap price for building a lifelong financial file on every American child before they can consent to anything.

And once the government normalizes linking a person’s identity, financial activity, and predictive systems from birth, who gets to decide what that data will be used to predict later?

We deserve answers immediately. @ndstudio @WhiteHouse

Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap: after catching heat for threatening local officials to manipulate voting sites for Republicans, @NCAuditorBoliek has reassigned former @NCGOP hatchet man @DallasWoodhouse to other duties. But no one will say exactly what those are.

[David J. Bier @David_J_Bier]

We can now say with a good amount of confidence:
1. It was not a "targeted" operation in any meaningful sense. He was targeted based on his appearance.
2. He did not ram an ICE vehicle. ICE likely rammed multiple times into the side of his van
3. Lorenzo's family claims the men did not know it was law enforcement, as opposed to crooks, so how were these supposed verbal commands conveyed?
4. He did not "attempt to run over" any officers. He turned away from the officers.

Wanting to avoid arrest is still not a reason to kill someone.
