Trump sycophant Stephen Miller says the White House is considering suspending Habeas Corpus. As a human rights lawyer, let me be clear: Due process & habeas corpus is arguably the last line of defense before fascism takes permanent hold. I cannot emphasize enough how dire this is for our nation.

Big cities will get the majority of this. The 1% won't care about price hikes. But the rest of us -- especially in the sparsely populated swaths of land that voted for Trump -- are FUUUUUUCKED.

President Trump is reportedly hosting a dinner for the top holders of the $TRUMP memecoin he profits from, including a private reception and White House tour. This is one of the most blatant and appalling instances of selling access to the presidency we've ever seen.

NEW: "Vladimir Putin has called up 160,000 men aged 18-30, Russia's highest number of conscripts since 2011, as the country moves to expand the size of its military." This means Putin is not doing any ceasefire that Trump claimed he wanted. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I asked my waitress in Savannah about Trump’s suggestion that he’d run for a third term. She said she disapproves of violating the Constitution but added that the election is years away, and ultimately she’d vote for whatever candidate ran the most alarming anti-trans ad.

Bank overdraft fees were capped at $5 the last few years -- saving American families over $6 BILLION. Until now. Because Republicans are lifting the Biden-era cap, letting banks charge whatever they want again. Taking $6 BILLION of your money and giving it to the big banks.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.
