Trudeau: "Now I want to speak directly to one specific American. Donald...it's not in my habit to agree with the WSJ, but Donald, they point out that even though you're a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do. We friends fighting is exactly what our opponents around the world want to see."

Unconstitutional. Appropriations bills are laws. If the president is not bound by them, he can make laws by fiat and is acting like a dictator. No Democrat can vote for any appropriations or debt ceiling bill while this is happening.

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

"The ABA rejects efforts to undermine the courts and the legal profession: We will not stay silent in the face of efforts to remake the legal profession into something that rewards those who agree with the government and punishes those who do not." ~ William R. Bay, President, ABA @americanbar.org

Tuberville: "Zelenskyy's gonna play hardball, but you know what? He's not even in the game. It's gonna be Putin and President Trump and the people on our side that will end up making this decision for the future of Ukraine."

As he wanted to all along.

Absolutely massive news from @afreedma.bsky.social DOGE attempting to cancel leases at the National Center for Environmental Prediction in College Park, Maryland as well as the Radar Operations Center in Norman, Oklahoma.

BREAKING: Head of FBI's New York office is forced out after questioning President Trump's pursuit of agents who investigated Jan. 6 cases, sources say.

The DOGE-mandated credit card freeze is delaying shipments of critical supplies, stalling travel, and stopping employees from doing their jobs.

The economy is crashing, we have declared war on the weather, and it’s only Monday.

Too early to pitch the name The Trump Recession?

Well deserved wins for Anora tonight

congratulations to No Other Land, which may be the first film to win a major Oscar but not theatrical distribution.

"tree equity" is the kind of thing that columnists like to make fun of when why it works is actually instantly apparent to anyone who's ever walked down a street in the summer apnews.com/article/tree...

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

My recap: Trump's meltdown should remove any doubt that the US has switched sides in this war, and in the wider struggle between autocracy and democracy. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Zelensky has now responded to his Oval Office meeting with this series of tweeted thanks to world leaders reaching out in consolation.

Book news: “The Haves and Have-Yachts: Dispatches on the Ultrarich” was scheduled to be published this fall, but the publisher has moved it up to June 3rd, because it describes a world upon us now. Details and pre-orders here: www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ha...

That was the most shameful performance by any American president in a century. I want to fucking throw up.

Guess I should t be excited for this one

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

This is terrible! Russian oligarchs will get tax loopholes I as an American citizen am denied.

How it started/How it's going

By all means don’t listen to the voters

The blinding contempt of the DOGE bros www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

The CFPB has returned over $21 billion directly to Americans scammed by Wall Street. If you have been personally helped by the CFPB - if you've filed a complaint, got money returned to you, or benefitted from their work, I need to hear from you. www.warren.senate.gov/share-your-c...

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

How it started. How it’s going.

If you like Bond this is disastrous.

NY law firm Sullivan & Cromwell is enthusiastically joining Donald Trump's effort to undermine the justice system. It’s sad to see a firm clients have long turned to for counsel on how to comply with the law rendering itself into an instrument for promoting lawlessness, I diacuss in PN.
