If you still believe the US election was not clearly manipulated and stolen in 2024, we have a bridge in Crimea to sell you. Get with the program, you got played, Trump regime is not your legitimate government. It’s not 100% your fault, however, your officials dropped the ball by not challenging it.

(Reuters) - European Union trade commissioner Maros Sefcovic told reporters on Wednesday that he discussed with U.S. trade representative Jamieson Greer the U.S. decision to levy 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum, telling him that he strongly regretted the move and that it does not help trade talks.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

CBO is a nonpartisan, neutral org. Its director, Phill Swagel, worked in the GWBush administration and was appointed by Republican lawmakers to his current post. For many reasons, it's laughable that he or his professional colleagues would be cooking the books to help Democrats.

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

Disgraceful

How much of a coward do you have to be - how uninformed and afraid do you have to be - to do this?

Remember all those law firms that struck a deal with Trump? It’s not totally working out for them. At least 11 large companies—including Morgan Stanley, Microsoft, and Oracle—are cutting ties with law firms that caved to President Trump’s threats of political retribution. https://trib.al/WeNhjT5
