Bukele: "Now that he's been confirmed healthy, he gets the honor of staying in El Salvador's custody," the Salvadoran president wrote on X, replying to his own post that read: "Kilmar Abrego Garcia, miraculously risen from the 'death camps' & 'torture', now sipping margaritas with Sen. Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!"
Does these look like Margaritas to you?

@nprofile…cyxd For Trump, Impeachments are like toilet paper, especially with all the backing he enjoys. It’s all a sick joke.
Let’s face it: the U.S. experiment is failing. Turns out, everything I learned in Civics class is a mirage because the guardrails that were supposed to be in place are not working.

“Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele said Monday that he does not plan to return to Kilmar Abrego García to the United States. “How can I return him to the United States?” Bukele asked Monday during a meeting with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. “I smuggle him into the United States? Of course I’m not going to do it.”
What a bunch of mile-high crap. The mighty U.S. cannot pick up the phone and send a plane to pick him up? Smuggle him? WTF is this asshole smoking?

“New aerial surveillance footage obtained by the Southern Environmental Law Center has found that Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI, is using 35 methane gas generators to power its "Colossus" supercomputer facility, the backbone of its flagship Grok. That's 20 more generators than the 15 xAI filed permits for, and 35 more than it was approved to use.”

“For Sanchez, the stakes are high: If she does not obtain a medical letter from the agency by April 15, her parents, who are on a fixed income, risk losing about $2,500 a month in medical care. They would no longer receive insulin medication for their diabetes, she said, and could lose their daily visit from a nurse. But even if Sanchez shows up in person, she is not likely to speak to an agent. Field offices are no longer accepting walk-in appointments.”

“Supreme Court backs Trump in controversial deportations case.
The U.S. Supreme Court delivered a major victory to President Trump on Monday, allowing the administration to continue deporting what it says are Venezuelan gang members. The vote was 5-to-4, with conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett joining the three liberals in dissent.”
I don’t understand how this is possible. I admit it, I have no idea how the Supreme Court works. Isn’t due process supposed to be a thing?

“Two DOGE staffers, Gavin Kliger and Sam Corcos, plan to launch a hackathon to build an API that would grant cloud providers easy access to (and export of) IRS data including taxpayer names, addresses, social security numbers, tax returns, and employment information.”

“Canadians forgoing travel to the U.S. will cause significant ripple effects. Canada is the top source of international visitors to the United States, with 20.4 million visits in 2024, generating $20.5 billion in spending, which supports 140,000 American jobs, according to the U.S. Travel Association, which promotes inbound travel to the country.
A 10 percent reduction in Canadian travelers could mean 2 million fewer visits, $2.1 billion in lost spending, and 14,000 job losses.”

“I [Trump] inherited a groceries situation," he said a day earlier at the White House. "The groceries went way up. An old-fashioned word, it's a very descriptive word. Groceries have gone through the roof." He brought them up again in an interview with Newsmax later in the day. "I have used the word groceries," he said. "It's like an old-fashioned word, but really it's not, and people understand it."
Unbelievable. Does he even have a brain?

“Susan Crawford has won a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, NBC News projects, allowing liberals to maintain their narrow majority on the battleground state’s highest court — and defying Elon Musk after he spent millions of dollars to oppose her.”

“Many understand that tariffs on foreign steel make it pricier, making products from it costlier too. But taxing foreign steel also raises domestic steel prices. When something becomes scarcer—steel, eggs, Taylor Swift tickets—prices go up.
Politically, the idea of deliberately making things — like literally all the things — more expensive, when you were elected in large part due to popular exhaustion with inflation, is so irrational it’s like the economic policy equivalent of a Dali painting.”

“President Donald Trump pardoned Nikola founder Trevor Milton.
- Milton was convicted in October 2022 of crimes related to defrauding investors with misrepresentations about the success of the electric- and hydrogen-powered truck maker.
- The former CEO was sentenced to four years in prison, but has been free pending appeal of his conviction in New York federal court.
- Nikola filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in February.”
Crooks helping crooks. How novel.

"Today, we [xAI] officially take the step to combine the data, models, compute, distribution and talent."
"The all-stock deal announced on Friday combines two of Musk's multiple portfolio companies, which also include automaker Tesla and SpaceX, and potentially eases Musk's ability to train his AI model known as Grok."
So now Grok will have access to all of Xitter's crappy content. What a wonderful union. And with a little bit of luck, he'll make his Teslas run on that crap.

“International travel to the United States is expected to slide by 5 percent this year, contributing to a $64 billion shortfall for the travel industry, according to Tourism Economics. The research firm had originally forecast a 9 percent increase in foreign travel, but revised its estimate late last month to reflect ‘polarizing Trump Administration policies and rhetoric.’”

“Put simply, X was ill-prepared, despite DDoS attacks being an extremely common threat to virtually all services on the internet. The company's loose protections may have even allowed the incident to be far worse than it would've been otherwise.”
I wonder why…

“Musk’s nearly $300 million gamble on the re-election of President Trump continues to show dividends. A new report in the Wall Street Journal suggests that advertisers are returning to X in order to avoid being added to an ongoing lawsuit by the company or see their own business dealings targeted by the Trump administration.”

@nprofile…48vs This is a very interesting point. When I visited Bali in 2005, I had a driver taking me around. Traffic was a controlled chaos. Cars, bikes zooming, crossing, passing by… madness! But not for them. They knew exactly what they were doing. Had I been behind the wheel, I’m sure I would have killed someone… or be killed. Knowing local laws *and* behaviors is a must.
