"Om och om igen tvingas jag förklara att den idé de har om ett Sverige där man får hjälp när man får ett funktionsnedsatt barn, drabbas av en stroke, eller allvarlig sjukdom i vuxen ålder – inte längre stämmer med verkligheten."

When famously squaring off with President Donald Trump over education funding, Mills said she would see Trump in court. She did just that, and on Friday she won a settlement for her state, for the kids and for people everywhere who needed to see a certain asshole bully get punched right in the eye.

Jag tog häromveckan Kry i försvar, samtidigt som jag stod fast vid att de gjort en del etiska övertramp. 🧵 Sedan dess har de hamnat i ytterligare blåsväder genom dubbelfakturering av Region Stockholm enl riksavtalet för utomlänsvård parallellt med fast listningsersättning för samma invånare. >

Every part of this story!

Another whopper flowing from Trump’s never-ending supply of lies. .•Numbers Don’t Lie• The national average gas price is currently approximately $3.18 per gallon, per AAA. Not even close to Trump’s “lowest in years” lie. In a majority of states the price of gasoline has, in FACT, increased…

A Harvard Med researcher is approaching her 3rd month in a crowded (90 women to a room) Louisiana detention center, supposedly because she didn't declare frog embryos as she was re-entering the US. She fears for her safety if she's deported to her native Russia. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

”I Gaza har journalistiken systematiskt utplånats. Nästan 200 mediearbetare har dödats, varav minst 43 medan de rapporterade. Israel har medvetet skapat ett informationsvakuum där sanningen blir krigets första offer.” RSF:s Pressfrihetsindex 2025. www.reportrarutangranser.se/pressfrihets...

1/ A detailed inside account of the sinking of the Russian missile cruiser Moskva has been published. It describes how the ship was overwhelmed with fire and smoke, safety systems failed, interior structures collapsed and crewmen jumped out through portholes to save themselves.⬇️

”Med indragen ledsagarservice och Region Skånes beslut att neka blinda och gravt synskadade färdtjänst tvingas många klara sig själva utan stöd från samhället, vilket ofta leder till isolering och utanförskap.” www.sydsvenskan.se/2025-04-30/s... Det här varför ni skriver under namninsamlingen!

Reminder to my journalist friends: Much of what Trump is trying to do is flatly illegal. That's essential context to stories like this. presswatchers.org/2025/04/the-...

Trump on China: "They made a trillion dollars with Biden selling us stuff. Much of it we don't need. Somebody said, 'oh, the shelves are gonna be open.' Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."

OMG I'M SCREAMING 😂😂

“The consequence will be empty shelves in US stores in a few weeks and Covid-like shortages for consumers and for firms using Chinese products as intermediate goods.” — Apollo Global Management Chief Economist Torsten Slok.

Here's my new hobby. Seeing how many people lose their health coverage if Republicans pass their $880 billion in Medicaid cuts. In David Valadao's district 67,000 constituents lose their coverage. 67,000!

President Trump is at once appoints the nation's top financial regulators & profits from one of the world's fastest growing crytpo companies. It's one of the most explict financial conflicts of interest in presidential history. A NYT investigation published today digs into this nyti.ms/44KUVn8

Icke skyldig. Nytt brev från Joakim Medin. Läs, dela, publicera. Allt stöd behövs. #FreeMedin

Vad jag tänker om senaste ”Gift vid första ögonkastet” – en tråd! #gvfö

Detta är vad vårdapparna kostar tack vare att de år efter år efter år använder kryphålet med utomlänsersättningen. Motstycke saknas i Europa att ersätta vård på det här sättet. Tror ni slöseriombudsmannen kommer lyfta detta? Nej, det blir väl nån arg text om en regnbågsfärgad parkbänk i Borås.

100 DAYS...of lying, grifting, lawbreaking, division, incompetence, ignorance, illegal deportations, self-aggrandizement, vulgarity, self-pity, cruelty, ignoring the Supreme Court & due process while attacking: the Media, Universities, Law Firms, the Courts & Journalists. 1362 Days to go...

Now we have the answer. The original story was legit then Bezos backed down.

US President Donald Trump's administration has so far withheld at least $436.87 billion of congressionally approved funding, the top Democrats on the US Congress' appropriation committees said reut.rs/42Wrhcl

Turns out that offering the president's wife $28 million for a documentary gig still doesn't spare you from his retributive wrath.

"This is a hostile and political action by Amazon," White House press secretary Katherine Leavitt says of the e-commerce giant's plan to display how much of an item's cost is derived from Trump tariffs. She adds it's not a surprise because "Amazon has partnered with a Chinese propaganda arm."

The comparativists are making good sense of US politics: a great new piece by my old friend and collaborator @lmorgenbesser.bsky.social

Trump’s push to gut civil service protections under "Schedule F" would make government a loyalty test — not a meritocracy. Veterans who continue serving as public servants would be forced to swear fealty to Trump — or lose their jobs. That's not democracy. That's dictatorship.

Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.

Travel bookings from Europe to the US for summer 2025 are down a whopping 25%. But worse than that - American expats like me are afraid to go back. And many Americans are afraid to cross the borders to leave or return. From @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/america/...

This line is going to stick with me for a very long time. “One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors…”
