Bloodthirsty Russia-loving Trump wants to kill all the Ukrainians.
The Trump regime, again, halted weapons that Ukraine was scheduled to receive to protect civilians and infrastructure, including PAC3 Patriots, 155mm artillery rounds, GMLRS, Stinger, AIM-7, and Hellfire missiles. This is a strategy to help Russia with its terror campaign. #StandWithUkraine

Paramount Global pays $16 million bribe to Trump, who was extorting them over a 60 minutes interview. And here’s the sellout that wants to avoid “reputational damage” Too late, George Cheeks.
The free market* at work! *have to pay an extortionate bribe to an autocrat to say true things and continue operating

Paramount just paid Trump a bribe for merger approval. When Democrats retake power, I’ll be first in line calling for federal charges. In the meantime, state prosecutors should make the corporate execs who sold out our democracy answer in court, today.

Concentration camps on American soil. Masked agents terrorizing our neighbors and abducting people off the streets to fill them. As if that weren’t horrific enough—some so-called “Christians” are cheering it on like it’s some kind of twisted, dehumanization porn. What the hell have we become?

New today: Congressional Republicans have sought to dismantle core legal protections for detained immigrant children, fund strip searches of children as young as 12 years old by law enforcement officers, allow indefinite detention, and impose new barriers to children’s release.

Senate Republicans voted to gut the safety net for millions to fund tax cuts for the rich. The bill now heads to the House

Incredibly, JD Vance basically told Trump voters not to worry too much about losing their Medicaid and instead to think about how many migrants the new bill will jail and deport. The scam is out in the open. My pod exchange w/ @kristencrowell.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/1975…

All things aside, "Trump released a fragrance" is actually a very funny and complete sentence.

Donald Trump has nothing but losses when it comes to defending his Executive Orders (Opens in a new window) targeting Biglaw firms. A series of federal judges in different jurisdictions — and appointed by a variety of presidents, both Democratic and Republican (Opens in a new window) — have determined the EOs violate the Constitution in an array of ways (specifically the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments). Indeed, every Biglaw firm (Perkins Coie (Opens in a new window), Jenner & Block (Opens in a new window), WilmerHale (Opens in a new window), and Susman Godfrey (Opens in a new window)) that challenged the EOs in court were granted summary judgment.
Trump’s lawless presidency
A Jan. 6 rioter was caught on video encouraging insurrectionists to "kill" police officers. Now he has a job in Trump’s Justice Department. Tell me again about the president being an ally to law enforcement and a champion of "law and order." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo…

Ted Cruz’s Dumb Plan To Punish States That Regulate AI By Withholding Broadband Grants Falls Apart
If the bill had passed states would have been faced with choosing between funding rural broadband, or avoiding oversight of increasingly reckless AI giants keen on ignoring what’s left of U.S. labor and environmental standards. They would have definitely taken the broadband money.
Cruz and the GOP have also been busy “helping” American broadband connectivity in other ways, like his recent successful effort to kill an FCC program that helped give poor rural schoolkids access to free Wi-Fi. As well as killing a program that made broadband more affordable for low-income Americans. And the illegal dismantling of the Digital Equity Act and its protections against broadband discrimination.
Trump’s Tariffs, oh, I mean taxes on Americans that make the cost of goods FOR Americans go up
Analysis shows Trump’s tariffs would cost US employers $82.3 billion (AP)
The analysis by the JPMorganChase Institute is among the first to measure the direct costs created by the import taxes on businesses with $10 million to $1 billion in annual revenue, a category that includes roughly a third of private-sector U.S. workers. These companies are more dependent than other businesses on imports from China, India and Thailand — and the retail and wholesale sectors would be especially vulnerable to the import taxes being levied by the Republican president.
The findings show clear trade-offs from Trump’s import taxes, contradicting his claims that foreign manufacturers would absorb the costs of the tariffs instead of U.S. companies that rely on imports. While the tariffs launched under Trump have yet to boost overall inflation, large companies such as Amazon, Costco, Walmart and Williams-Sonoma delayed the potential reckoning by building up their inventories before the taxes could be imposed.
