Dear @cnn.com, The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

DID YOU KNOW: As Trump/Musk fire anyone in the fed government that participated in diversity, equity & inclusion, he just nominated Kimberly Richey for Asst Sec Office of Civil Rights at the Dept of Education. During Trump's 1st term, she ESTABLISHED the DEI office people are now being fired from.

NEW: Trump’s DoJ Chief of Staff has filed a complaint against Judge Reyes because she bench slapped their bigoted asses into the sun three days ago.

As it happens, Trump has gone so far off the cliff that Europe isn’t divided but closing ranks. I figured that it’ll become politically difficult for European politicians to try and suck up to him because electorates see what Trump is doing and are very angry. But it’s even better than expected:

This is the thing--Trump is toxic to most non-American audiences so politicians suck up to him at their peril--they will piss off their constituents if they bend the knee. It is already hurting Canada's conservatives.

Promoting an 0-9 to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is insane - Trump is going to have to promote him to four star AND waive the legal requirements to even hold the position Dan Caine had a distinguished career, but he’s never been a vice chair, combatant commander or service chief

tbh it's a great prismatic look at the society. This is also why Elizabeth Holmes and SBF are the only big budget scamsters to head to and stay in jail. All 3 committed the only sin you cannot commit in the USA without swift & severe punishment- made a billionaire look bad and feel stupid in public

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

This is really something

Donald Trump disparaged the military constantly in private as his highest advisors confirmed on the record. But he lied a lot to win millions of votes from the military and veterans. And now the Finding Out is going to be horrific.

When the pro-leader paramilitary and the official police and military intermingle, the end has come. — @timothysnyder.bsky.social

Motion to dismiss Trump's "consumer fraud" lawsuit against J. Ann Selzer, filed on her behalf by @thefireorg.bsky.social today: www.thefire.org/research-lea...

FIRE’s brief is exceptionally good and refutes the “you can regulate fake news” fatuity that you hear from both right and left.

We've come a long way from "I will lower prices on day one"

Delta Airlines really needs to remove Fox News from its inflight streaming. A woman in the row in front of me watched it nonstop for three hours and EVERY segment I caught the headline for was lies, misinformation, and disinformation. It was a travesty.

“One thing we know for sure is there’s a lot of upheaval ahead,” one trade expert told CNBC.

the fact that this is just a straightforward retelling of yesterday's events without hyperbole

Get Ready For Delayed Tax Refunds, Long Hold Times After Mass IRS Firings But wealthy tax evaders will enjoy “a feast” as the strained federal agency lacks the resources to hold them accountable, said one tax policy expert.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

The past ten years has just been the same clutch of morons and apologists insisting that Trump would never cross that line and then shuffling along with him to insist that he would never cross that next one.

Numbers go down and suddenly everyone rediscovers their spine

It’s absolutely a Nazi salute. But note how weak it is. Whether it’s sincere or “ironic” (and that doesn’t make a difference), he doesn’t quite have the cobbles to do it vigorously. He does it like grandma struggling to put her shawl on a hook.

Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason." www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/p...

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

Idle thought on the interference with NIH operations. All of the grants that passed Council last fall are eligible to be funded. There is no obligation to fund evenly across the Cycles. And we all know the 15-20%ile grants from one Cycle aren’t meaningfully “better” than the 10-14%ile of the next

This would be completely illegal. But you wouldn’t know that from reading this post, the headline, or the lede. Unbelievably bad.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

Mark my words — Republicans are going to get absolutely DESTROYED in the 2026 House elections.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

When your mother says “I can’t get onto my computer,” before trying to resolve the problem, determine if she means her actual computer, her lockscreen, the Internet, her Gmail or her Mandarin WhatsApp group that’s 50% bible quotes/50% conspiracy theory This PSA brought to you by personal experience

You may not like Bolton but he worked day in and day out next to Donald Trump. He knows the man.

I’m not a very forgiving person. I’ll give you one chance, but if you screw me again, I’m done. So, all y’all MAGA voting twice for Trump? I hope you lose everything. Cause I sure will because of your stupidity. #Voices4Victory
