Trump issues travel ban, barring US entry for people from 12 countries – video

"Builders nationwide are 'pumping the brakes because elevated interest rates are making many projects prohibitively expensive'" If you're not talking about financing you're not talking about how anything actually works in America. www.axios.com/2025/06/02/a...

Our statement tonight on Trump’s new discriminatory travel ban.

Yeah, it’s wild to see how much the Trump administration is actively punching large portions of the Florida GOP in the face. It remains to be seen whether his attacks on Cubans and Venezuelans will have any electoral consequences, though. Lot of class issues around old arrivals vs new arrivals.

Exactly the right response and shows significantly more courage than those who capitulated to Trump’s false claims of unrestrained authority

In defiance of President Trump’s announcement last Friday that he was firing her, Kim Sajet — the director of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery — has continued to report for work.

Hey NYC Mayoral candidates: COVID is still around causing chronic illness and death. It’s ridiculous to brag about how you handled COVID (especially since NY handled COVID poorly at the start of the pandemic), if you have no plans to address the ongoing harm that COVID continues to cause.

BREAKING: A federal judge blocked a Texas law that has for decades given college students without legal residency in the U.S. access to reduced in-state tuition, swiftly ruling in favor of the latest effort by the Trump administration to crack down on immigration into the country.

Trump signs proclamation banning citizens from 12 countries from entering US

Chris Murphy: "The entire administration is a grift from top to bottom... it appears Musk didn't get everything that he wanted in this bill to help his companies, and so he's throwing a temper tantrum... you have to understand none of this is on the level. It's a bunch of thieves stealing from us."

The sheer illegality of all of this should shock us—especially as Trump’s assault continues on and on:

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

Port of Los Angeles executive director Gene Seroka issued a new dire warning for CNN's Erin Burnett, saying he's already seeing the first signs of an economic crisis to come.

Chris Murphy on Trump's travel ban: The bill actually costs money for 40% of the public. You get poorer if you're in the bottom 40%. The richest families get a tax cut of $270k. Nobody wants that. It's super unpopular. So how do you get it done? You distract people by making them afraid

Goldman on Trump's travel plan: "It's pretty consistent with what his 'immigration policy' is, which is just essentially to keep anybody who's not white out of the country."

Goldman: "The idea of focusing on President Biden is a way of distracting from Donald Trump's efforts to completely undermine our democracy, to grift and engage in corruption, and to help out his billionaire buddies by cutting their taxes while taking Medicaid away from the American people."

Stop me if you heard this before: DOJ filed this totally collusive suit against Texas (which settled in six hours) in Wichita Falls—where it had a 100% chance of being assigned to Judge Reed O’Connor. Once again, it’s the Trump administration that’s judge-shopping, not its challengers.
