This is the most incompetent and malfeasant DOJ in history. https://t.co/VJwEzEMGaY

NEW: This is too much. The DOJ accidentally emailed copies of Volume II of Jack Smith’s final report to the lawyers representing a woman they charged with obstruction of justice for emailing Volume II of Jack Smith’s final report. My latest: https://t.co/SsOueiQO3n

Based on the latest data from Edmunds and the NHTSA, nine of the ten cheapest new cars in America are imported (and thus now face 25% “national security” tariffs).

A good, depressing example of US tariffs often being doubly-regressive. pic.twitter.com/zlmFIj1Tqc
Turns out Trump’s market manipulation with a series of tariff announcements and pauses that tormented American businesses was done to enrich himself.

Last year @ICEgov said a man tried to murder a female ICE officer while she was trying to arrest him. They swore under oath he grabbed her by the neck and choked her. He was even indicted for attempted murder.

Problem is, it never happened! Bystander video unraveled the lie. https://t.co/dIwnGyBOPo pic.twitter.com/nw4KMtkAqc
Oh, and the guy was almost certainly not part of Tren de Aragua either. Like with make-up artist Andry Romero, it seems @ICEgov’s reason for declaring him a gang member was… a tattoo. Of a clock. With his son’s birthday.

Seriously. This is why ICE’s claims can’t be trusted. https://t.co/c4hWbBdrLP
