Tariffs don’t just raise costs. They delay projects, shrink scopes, and choke off opportunity. For small manufacturers tied to construction, fewer projects means fewer jobs and less growth.

This shouldn't be a partisan moment. This should be a moment for every American who has ever thumped their chest about, or felt pride in, American values, liberty, and freedoms to say that the government's actions are beyond unacceptable in a free society and must end now.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Okay so, 1) an American citizen exercises his First Amendment right to peaceably assemble and his Second Amendment right to bear arms, out of apparent concern that a tyrannical federal government is violating basic protections afforded under the Constitution 2) after coming to the aid of an unarmed woman who's been shoved to the ground by a masked federal agent, the citizen -- impaired by pepper spray, holding nothing but a cell phone -- is dragged to the ground by a group of other masked agents 3) during the scuffle, shortly after one masked agent removes the weapon from the restrained citizen's person, several other masked agents open fire, unloading 10 shots from close range and killing the unarmed citizen 4) despite video evidence, a spokesman for the federal government says the citizen approached agents with a gun, provoked a violent confrontation, and planned to "massacre" law enforcement You really want to defend this? Go ahead. Just know, you look like an absolute fool.

Whenever you think it’s time to take the keys from Grandpa, it’s usually five years too late.
NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials: Dear Ambassador:   President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state] “Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

Newly naturalized immigrants know more about America’s institutions and laws than the Department of Homeland Security.
Law enforcement uses ‘reasonable suspicion’ to make arrests, as protected under the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court has already vindicated us on this position. A person’s immigration status makes them a target for enforcement, not their skin color, race or ethnicity. @TriciaOhio
Community note
The Fourth Amendment requires probable cause for arrests; reasonable suspicion suffices only for brief investigatory stops, not full arrests. law.cornell.edu/wex/probable_c… law.cornell.edu/wex/fourth_ame…

Some sensitive folks on this platform. Can’t have a conversation, there’s immediate confrontation and assumptions. But I expect nothing less from some folks I suppose. Shame. You’re just making yourself look immature in the broader community that you are a part of.

One of the biggest wins we had this year is pushing Defender out to our endpoints (even though we have another EDR) in passive mode, turning on Defender for Identity, turning on Defender for O365, and seeing the beauty of attack disruption take place. Saves the bacon

Police kill more than a thousand people a year. They are shielded from civil liability by a bunch of rules nobody ever voted for. This would be bad even if officers were completely indifferent to race and ethnicity.

An enormous amount of taxpayer money goes into the U.S. government’s sprawling, powerful national security and domestic surveillance apparatus. But what for? @kenklippenstein joins “FEVER DREAMS” with the FOIA tea. APPLE: trib.al/8JKNOWD SPOTIFY: trib.al/Nezvbu1

25 years ago, the US Supreme Court ruled that cops could use any pretext (read: lie) to stop a car to search it & courts would not secondguess their motivations—race or otherwise. Car stops of Black & Brown people exploded. Congress & state legislatures can & must change this.

Yesterday evening I received my Covid-19 vaccine. Then I went to a frozen lake to dance Bhangra on it for joy, hope and positivity, which I'm forwarding across Canada and beyond for everyone's health and wellbeing.
