Trump pledged to bring business back to the U.S. His own company has been doing more business overseas than ever before. See where.

I was promised 90 deals in 90 days

Why are so many law enforcement officers wearing masks now? Embarassed?

At a recent luncheon at Cipriani in Midtown Manhattan, a top lawyer for Citadel delivered a message to leaders of some of the country’s biggest law firms. Brooke Cucinella told them that the hedge-fund company likes to work with law firms that aren’t afraid of a fight. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

I’m glad this made the Times.

no it’s actually because of the slavery

What is MAGA outraged about today?

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

Happy #PrideMonth! 🏳️‍🌈

Armed FBI agents knocked on the doors of two pub defenders at SEVEN AM, asking to talk w them, having made no earlier effort to reach out. Both PDs represented ppl detained by ICE. FBI said they “wanted to reach out before work.” Which is nakedly not true. HARASSING DEFENSE LAWYERS IS REALLY BAD.

Vought gets a little salty after Dana Bash plays the clip of him saying that he wants federal bureaucrats to be "in trauma," telling her "you cherrypicked the quote" (she literally just played the clip)

The worst people on Earth coming together to make everything worse for everyone

DHS removed list of “sanctuary” states, cities and counties from its website following sharp criticism from a sheriffs’ association that said a list of “noncompliant” sheriffs could severely damage the relationship between Trump administration and law enforcement. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

New research from the Knight Center and Pew Research found the share of news influencers with a Bluesky account jumped from 21% before Election Day to 43% by March 2025. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

PBS and a public TV station in Minnesota filed a lawsuit on Friday, accusing Trump of “blatant viewpoint discrimination.” The suit comes after Trump signed a May 1 executive order axing all funding for PBS and NPR, alleging “bias” in their reporting. www.yahoo.com/news/elmo-hi...?

Bessent: "We want the US to be more like Florida and less like New York"

MAKARY: 88 percent of American kids, their parents have said no to the covid shot last season. So the vast majority of Americans are saying no. BRENNAN: I don't want to crowdsource my health guidance. You don't go with popularity, you go with data.

There is no way Ukraine could trust the current US government with info that they had operatives behind enemy lines in Russia to execute this operation. Telling that to the Trump admin would put their lives in even greater danger than they already were.

The attack on Russian airbases at Olenya, and Belaya, Dyagilevo and Ivanovo, and reportedly also the nuclear submarine base at Severomorsk, was done by small multirotor drones launched from trucks(!!!!) #OSINT

Yes.

A core part of Trumpism is performative shamelessness. But doing this while defending cuts that will directly impact your own constituents takes it to a whole new level.

Separation of church and state isn’t a suggestion — it’s the law.

Rep. Tom Emmer is a piece of shit. Pass it on. www.startribune.com/us-rep-tom-e...

“Around here, facts matter. Words matter. Journalism matters” — Lester Holt, on his final night hosting NBC Nightly News, a role he has held for the past decade.

Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much? They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs. Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher. Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.” It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to. This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented. So ICE took her into custody. The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck. "I can't breathe."

It’s important to reiterate that Trump is going after legal immigrants. He is not only targeting criminals, and hasn’t been his entire second term. He is targeting legal, productive members of American society.

"Moonlight" Graham is buried a couple miles from my house. Alicia was from here. There is usually a baseball or 2 by the headstone. #TCMParty #FieldOfDreams

ICE is going to make good people do very violent things. If it pops off it will likely be San Diego. The worst force footage has been NYC and San Diego with San Diego having even lawyer’s getting into altercations with ICE in immigration court hallways. But yesterday ICE used bombs on civilians. 🧵

A lot of government workers go unnoticed—until they’re gone. The problem with letting the ultra-rich call the shots is they don’t see us. To them, we’re disposable… until the day they need clean water, a working 911 line, or someone to put out the fire.

For four long years I was told not to call what’s coming our way fascism but here we are:

Don't spend one minute feeling sorry for the law firms that capitulated. They prioritized their own profits over the rule of law, decency and democracy. They deserve the ridicule and scorn they are now receiving. History will remember them for the cowards they are.

Apparently states’ rights stop the moment women board a plane with autonomy in their carry-on.

The new, official U.S. government policy for “merit hiring” prioritizes “patriotism” and “eliminates unnecessary degree requirements”. It doesn’t matter if you have the education or training to do the job, as long as your essay response indicates loyalty. chcoc.gov/sites/defaul...

“After careful deliberation, PBS reached the conclusion that it was necessary to take legal action to safeguard public television’s editorial independence, and to protect the autonomy of PBS member stations,” a PBS spokesperson said in a statement. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

On behalf of the DNC, DSCC and DCCC we have filed to intervene to protect the campaign finance laws from attack by the GOP. The Trump administration won't defend a 50 year old law, but we will.
