He urged FCC Chair Brendan Carr, who was named to the position by Trump, to deliver “substantial” penalties to the network for what he called “unlawful and illegal behavior.”

“CBS is out of control, at levels never seen before, and they should pay a big price for this,” he wrote.

In Trump's mind, saying something he doesn't want you to say is "unlawful and illegal". And since both Congress and the Supreme Court have decided that he is never wrong, and law enforcement now operates by kidnapping people and trafficking them into life imprisonment and slavery without trial, that is the de facto reality.

And the proof that these people are "barbarians" who "menace our citizens" is that the government kidnapped them and trafficked them into permanent imprisonment in El Salvador. That's the same amount of proof they'll produce when they do it to you. It could happen today, and there would be no chance to contact friends and family, or to argue your innocence. Because there has been no due process, and no proof or even accusation of any crime, we have to assume that all of these people sent to prison in El Salvador are innocent, just as you would be.

In a world of English-speaking white supremacists, like those who now run the USA. Only some kinds of people are considered worth talking to.

It's so bleak watching entire demographics of people being more-or-less openly categorised as expendable.

This is how you know you're dealing with Nazis.

Yuck. All those people laughing in that over-the-top way at his desperate attempt at humor, delivered so smugly.

I assume you didn't read the article. There's no one stunned in there; it's just a crappy headline some editor added.

Many US banking systems are surprisingly old fashioned compared to other countries.

No. I have met some very nice tame rats, but I imagine the wild giant rat would be less nice. Have you?

Probably not as things stand. Our political and judicial system is a little more robust against being abused by a small group of people than the USA's. But I wouldn't rule out Poilievre deciding he needs to break the rules like Trump does, and I don't think we should give him the chance to find out how that goes.

Well I guess that was an easy question. But maybe don't fight the kittens. Just snuggle them.

He has gone back up in the polls. We mustn't get complacent. Everyone who doesn't want fascism in Canada, and who values Canada's continued existence as a country, needs to vote, and get your friends to vote, and make sure MAGA PP doesn't get in.

PP will be remembered as a copycat genocide supporter.

There’s a real risk that hundreds of people sent to a brutal prison camp will never be free.

Henrry Jose Albornoz Quintero was scheduled to attend an immigration court hearing in El Paso Thursday. He didn’t. The immigration judge presiding over his case was not happy.

“He just disappeared? What happened?”

The Trump administration lawyer either could not say — or would not.

“All I can disclose at the moment is that he’s no longer in ICE custody,” the lawyer said, according to the notes of Albornoz Quintero’s attorney, who attended the hearing.

Summary

US stocks fell sharply Thursday after a historic rally, as investors refocused on lingering economic damage from Trump's tariffs. The Dow dropped over 900 points, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also down.

Despite Trump’s 90-day pause on some “reciprocal” tariffs, others remain, including a universal 10% tariff and 25% duties on autos, steel, and more.

Economists warn of recession risks. China raised tariffs to 125% on US goods, with Beijing responding in kind.

Markets remain volatile, and analysts say temporary relief hasn’t changed underlying economic threats.
