One reason Americans don't pay as much attention to Trump's corruption as they should is that they don't think it affects them. But it does. In ways both cultural and legal, Trump is making it exponentially easier for fraudsters to take your money. www.salon.com/2025/05/02/c...

Saw a comedian tonight touring from the UK and she did a bit during her set that she almost canceled the trip because of fear about what might happen at the airport on arrival. I think far too many Americans don’t understand how the rest of the world is seeing us right now.

This is a widely inaccurate & dangerous mischaracterization. The vaccine was developed in fetal cells obtained from two elective abortions in the early 1960s. There is not abortion debris floating around in the vaccine. And the Vatican has okayed its use. RFK Jr. is again spreading disinformation.

“No doubt his conduct has already exceeded any prior standard for impeachment by the House” Ossoff told a town hall audience, adding later that there is “no question” a number of Trump’s actions have risen to the level of impeachable offenses. What is it going to take? #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

If the election had been held today, Vice President Harris would soundly defeat Trump. Of course, if more folks had recognized the threat Trump clearly represented back in November and voted for a better future, there would be no need for this hypothetical. Elections matter. They always do.

FYI rabbis and cantors who are alums of Brown University are organizing, asking the university not to capitulate to Trump's weaponization of antisemitism on the path to destroying higher ed and the diversity and freedoms that should accompany it. Glad to be one of them.

REPORTER: There is a group of Venezuelan men in Texas who have been alerted that they are soon going to be deported until the Alien Enemies Act. Have you authorized that operation? TRUMP: I don't know about the group you're talking about but if they're bad people, I would certainly authorize it.

Democrats won't like hearing this, but the response to the kidnapping and deportation of immigrants and pro-Palestinian activists has been very muted by many Democratic leaders until this week. Why? Because they saw the polls & listened to consultants and thought it was bad politics to oppose it.

Yup. They'll send a legitimately awful US citizen to CECOT, and anyone who criticizes it will be accused of supporting the awful person... and then they'll send someone slightly less awful. Eventually, they'll have established that they can send anyone.

I watched this whole clip. This is bonkers. It makes absolutely no sense at all. It’s no an exception. That’s the wrong word. It’s the word the WH uses. So it IS tariffed. Well it’s not. Because it’s going to be studied for later. But it is under a 20% tariff. Something something buckets.
