#TacoTradeTrump

The entire board of the Fulbright program, which fosters international education through an exchange program, quit on Wednesday after accusing the Trump administration of illegal interference. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

World Cup/FIFA should move their venue to another, safer country and bypass the U.S. They might be hoping things get better, but they are overly optimistic. Tourists would be wanting to live on the edge to come to America at this point in history.

"Grotesque" is a good description of Trump's Bragg speech. Hatch Act violation.

You know the world is indeed in deep shit when the world's richest man is forced to cave in and kiss the ring of the current POTUS.

Musk won't move back to centre. He will radicalise and want to break the system more.

The world sees the decaying democracy in the U.S. #Trump

It's been two weeks and not a peep from #TACO

❗️Today marks 2 weeks since Trump gave Putin the last 2 weeks. It was May 28th.We are waiting for a new series of deadlines.

I am very concerned when people say the soldiers will resist Trump's pressure. Since Huntington, American officers have been told that it's their task to stay out of politics and just focus on the "how" when politicians tell them what the goal is.

It is not generally illegal to volunteer to fight for another country.

Schumer's most recent statement concerning the protests in LA is quite disappointing, along with those by Fetterman.

Donald Trump in 1990 on the Tiananmen Square massacre: “The Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength.”

Many have already pointed out, Trump, by his actions in LA, is laying groundwork for declaration of martial law and suspension of midterm elections. He will employ martial law if it looks like Republicans would lose control of Congress. In his reckoning, there is no other option to save himself.

In today's Morning Shots, come for the devastating takedown by @eggerdc.bsky.social of the latest chapter of RFK Jr.'s dangerous assault on vaccines. Stay, if you wish, for me on why Trump deployed the Marines--and for a couple of thoughts on the Marines' Hymn. www.thebulwark.com/p/rfk-jr-is-...

If you're out there on the streets, be aware of facial recognition.

Watching the right now oppose the part of the second amendment that guarantees a well regulated militia under state control is… something.

In my opinion, Homan needs to be arrested. www.yahoo.com/news/newsom-...

It's going to slide sideways. Chaos theory cannot predict how, but it is a virtual certainty. The irony is that Trump can't predict how it will go either.

Of note.

This whole fiasco could make Gavin president.
