“We have to try to have some compassion for people that have fallen into this trap that truly think Trump is their savior…He's taking that trust they have…and he's abusing them. He's destroying their family…He's abusing the whole country.” — @adamkinzinger.bsky.social

BBB both grows the deficit and cuts food for poor kids

🚨BREAKING: Federal courts BLOCKS the dismantling of Dept. of Education. This is huge win for @democracyforward.org, their clients and the state AGs. “The record abundantly reveals that Defendants’ true intention is to effectively dismantle the Department without an authorizing statute."

If you are frustrated with the Trump policy of coddling Russian war criminals, you can give a hand yourself. savelife.in.ua/en/

“I am sorry I don’t have a plane for you” The President of South Africa deftly reminds us that he has a lot of experience in dealing with White Supremacists and autocrats.

Am I the last to know? The Qatar jet offered to Trump turns out to be an item unsuccessfully for sale since 2020. The "gift" is not only a Trump grift, but also an attempted scam on the US taxpayer, who will assume costs the owners no longer wish to pay. onemileatatime.com/qatari-royal...

Trump's Department of Justice serves three purposes: Declare that whatever Trump wants to do is legal. Dispense favors on Trump's political allies. Investigate and punish Trump's political opponents. It is a dangerous three tiered system of justice that is leading our country down a dark road.

Jordy Meiselas: If you can be a beacon of truth, honesty, and actually bring facts, data, and receipts to an audience that’s so hungry for information, that level of authenticity will shine through.

Donald Trump recently hit the media circuit to make his case to, or perhaps, to plead with the American people, as polls show the majority of them aren’t on board with his extreme agenda and chaotic course for the country. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...

A 25-year-old DOGE bro at the CFPB held $715,000 in stocks that ethics lawyers told him he wasn’t allowed to own while working there — then DOGE fired those ethics lawyers. This is corruption. Always call it out.

NEW: The Trump administration’s slashing of budgets and staff have Great Lakes scientists concerned that they have lost the ability to protect the public from toxic algal blooms, which can kill animals and sicken people. By @annaleighclark.bsky.social

Stephen Miller is slowly creating a vast, unaccountable removal authority for the president. He thinks he can sell unchecked power as crucial for public safety. But Trump accidentally exposed this project for what it is: Lawless, arbitrary, dictatorial. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1948...

Exactly ⬇️

european central bank economists pen new blog post saying trump administration is "causing european consumers to think twice about what’s in their shopping cart,” signaling a “long-term structural shift… away from us products and brands.”

Under Trump’s “Golden Age”, the risk of recession is up, and the stock market and consumer sentiment are down. Only perhaps William Henry Harrison had a worse 100-day start to his presidency.

Trump backed down to China, and now they're mocking him.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

This is terrible. The US can help, but now does not.

NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony. Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJ’s actions and defend the rule of law.

Seems like a five alarm fire

That’s exactly what all of his “policies” are about. If you try to attribute anything else to them, you’re far off base.

Trump does care about the pain, chaos, and turmoil he’s causing—in the following sense: He loves it. It makes him feel powerful.

They're eating the 401ks! They're eating the Social Security! They're eating the retirements of the people who live here!

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.
