Thank you California State Senate for warning Shari Redstone not to settle with Trump. I agree 100% with their “CA will be harmed as the home of journalistic integrity” reasoning! @tribelaw.bsky.social @jayrosen.bsky.social @katiecouric.bsky.social @jimacosta.bsky.social deadline.com/2025/05/para...

Details of Trump's EXTORTION of Paramount/CBS News emerge. Shari Redstone offering "8 figures" (no word on "apology") means Trump WILL KEEP WANTING MORE, as @timothysnyder.bsky.social @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social know. Redstone is a disgrace! @beschlossdc1776.bsky.social deadline.com/2025/05/trum...

My heart so aches. What unfathomable pain they endured. “‘It was the worst food I've ever had at a Trump golf course,’ Nicholas Pinto, … who poured around $300,000 into Trump's coin, told Wired of the entree, a surf-and-turf dish that included halibut and filet mignon.” apple.news/AW1ON4_itRY-...

Thank you @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social for discussing what's wrong with American democracy (not just how bad Trump is) in this interview. Trump is very bad. But American democracy doesn't work for all of us either! @hcrichardson.bsky.social @beschlossdc1776.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y6B...

When we learn Trump doesn’t know he’s being conned, we know Putin is a better con man than Trump is.

In Moscow no hint of compromise. Russia continues to attack Ukraine. One Russian newspaper this week told European leaders to "breathe in the smell of the new world order." My thoughts on the last two weeks.

Vance addressed the U.S. Naval Academy’s commencement. He did not mention the Trump admin tried to have certain books removed from the academy’s library. Most of the books have since been returned. But Americans did not make the ultimate sacrifice for books to be banned in this country.

Dear @fotoole.bsky.social You once wrote that Trump had "unfinished business": the destruction of American democracy. Looks like he's set his sights higher: the destruction of the American economy. Can you spell "Trump Depression"? The Bond market probably can.😢💔 www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7gp...

I feel like re-upping this story right now because it went drastically under-reported and under-appreciated when it first came out. This study should be on the tip of every university scholar's tongue to share with their non-academic friends and family: www.npr.org/2025/05/06/n...
