Please read and share. And share again. Trump, Musk and Rubio have sent millions of the poorest people in the world to their death. On purpose. Why? For tax cuts for billionaires? To appease Putin? What is the possible justification for this?

SecState Rubio claims that no on has died because of USAID cuts and suggested that I had lied in my reporting. So here I show him photos of specific children who have died because of the Trump administration's reckless cancelation of aid: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/o...

Today, 85 years ago: The peak of the "Miracle of Dunkirk," with ~ 70,000 British troops evacuated. The successful rescue at Dunkirk allows Britain to survive in 1940, which makes possible allied victory later. Lesson: You need to survive your Dunkirk before you can attack and win on your D-Day.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

There's a stunning provision tucked into the budget bill that would limit courts' ability to enforce contempt orders, and therefore to uphold the rule of law. This deserves real alarm. If the Senate values the separation of powers, it must remove the provision.

Analysis by Glenn Kessler: There is no dispute that people have died because the Trump administration abruptly suspended foreign aid. One might quibble over how many people have died. But you can’t call it a lie.

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

We've already had dozens of actually “worse than Watergate" scandals in just four months since Trump took office. I realize you want to sell books, @jaketapper.bsky.social, but could you at least work in some commentary on Trump’s corruption and maybe his apparent lack of control of his faculties?

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

Yes. They are cruel. ICE is also now deporting Ukrainians who are here legally as war refugees. Let that sink in. Imagine if we deported Jews back to Nazi Germany back in the 40's. This is just cruel. ICE needs to be stopped.

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value. There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.

Oh for the good old days when every editorial board in America LOUDLY demanded the Clintons shut down their charitable organization for fear it would be used to curry favor w/Hillary if she became President 🙃

This should be seen as evidence of the crisis: federal judges fear that Trump will order U.S. Marshals to stand down on securing the safety of judges whose decision they don’t like. This is just devastating. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Wow. This is major news. Judges discuss moving the U.S. marshals from the executive to the judicial branch. Not only would they protect judges from trump threats, but it would also make it easier for courts to order marshals to carry out court orders.

For the second night in a row, russia launched a massive drone barrage at Ukraine - and missiles are on the way, with bombers airborne and ships seaborne. For the first time ever, I am spending the night at a metro station. What a damn good 'peace deal'. Many thanks.
