The hearing tomorrow in Judge Howell's courtroom is likely to be a total smackdown of the government. These are the same judges (district judges in DC) who tried the Jan 6 cases only to have Trump pull the rug out fr under them. And these orders v law firms are stunning assaults on the whole system.

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Toyota deserves just as much wrath as Tesla for its support of GOP, election deniers, and moves like this. They've consistently taken the side of hatred. Not to mention the 20-year old, misunderstanding of STEM, leading them to focus on a failed future. www.advocate.com/business/toy...

“faced with a world where some of the most influential people on the planet are their allies, Greenwald, Taibbi, and Weiss are largely choosing to cozy up to power rather than effectively challenge it. No big surprise.”

NEW: Trump's speech this week was a reminder that he's running a disinformation operation to impose a mix of oligarchy, autocracy & kleptocracy. And the Democrats just don't seem to get it. I explain all in my OUR LAND newsletter. link.motherjones.com/public/38917... Subscribe at davidcorn.com.

So, if I’m reading this correctly, Congress appropriated a bunch of funds for specific purposes. Musk will be throwing that out the window and disregarding the law they enacted. But individual legislators can call a hotline and beg for their pet projects to be spared. That’s how we’re doing it now.

I am looking at a chamber filled with hundreds and hundreds of people, and if you asked me to seriously estimate what percentage of them understand how deep in the s*** we are right now, I mean really truly understand how close America is to full collapse, I would put the number at between 10 and 20

More than anything else, Trump loves winning. Yet he has already positioned America to lose the 21st century, in three simple steps: 1. Alienate your friends. 2. Destroy your business environment. 3. Slaughter your golden goose (i.e., science and research). wapo.st/41iUzAW

What more will it take? In every possible way, Trump is a despot, tearing apart the constitutional foundations of this country. Now he'd like to ban college protests & send in shock troops - Kent State times a thousand. Every college president with integrity must stand up & loudly denounce this.
