JUST IN: In a deeply embarrassing and un-American court filing, the Trump regime is now arguing that CNN, MS NOW, and Politico can be stripped of White House access in the name of “national security.” 1/
ARMED SERVICES CHAIR: “.. I would have suggested the president not invite Xi Jinping to Washington for such a lavish welcome .. based on all of the troubling issues we have with President Xi and the Chinese Communist Party,” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
“.. China's trade position has never been stronger. .. some supply chains are now moving back INTO China. German firms are boosting their China investments .. And polls find China is viewed more favorably than the US in numerous countries for the first time.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
Imagine being so fucking stupid that predatory billionaires have convinced you that healthcare and a living wage are communism.
“.. Trump’s support for the idea blindsided industry officials. Oil executives and lobbyists rushed to register their opposition .. But now, they said, it seems inevitable the U.S. will move forward ..” ⛽️ @wsj.com $OSX www.wsj.com/business/ene...
TALARICO: “The richest 1% now owns more wealth than the entire middle class. 3 dudes (Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos) now own more wealth than 165 million Americans combined… they aren’t just buying yachts and jets anymore. They’re now buying power.” 🇺🇸 (From @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social )
Ossoff: "What did they spend the most political capital trying to do over the last 18 months? Cover up the Epstein files. They worked harder to cover up the Epstein files than they ever did to lower grocery prices."
He can't raise the retirement age without Congress. Vote.
@migas7.bsky.social · yesterdayAnd Trump will act like he is doing a great thing.
Who do I think more men should emulate? Can you imagine? More competent kindness please. Find these people and cherish them.

The best part of the UN today were Carney, Macron, and Zelenskyy. Trump was a little clown sideshow to entertain the guests while actual leaders got actual work done in the background. A good first day for the UN general assembly. AI is probably going to get very regulated soon.
So glad to see PBS announcing their refusal to publish still images or videos provided by the MAGA regime in support of free and fair journalistic access. We need much more of this. 💙👊
She's been doing this for a decade. I posted about this particular scheme over 5 years ago. ProPublica says this is just the first story they're going publish, and multiple members of congress were involved.
This is corruption of the highest order. Susan Collins delivered millions in taxpayer dollars for a corrupt donor bankrolling her campaign, and then Donald Trump helped her cover it up. No wonder she voted with him 96% of the time and has rubberstamped his agenda to hurt Maine.
ProPublica@propublica.org · yesterdayNEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.
Byron Donalds has removed all Trump references, photos, and endorsements from his website. He’s still keeping the typos, though. www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...
While waiting for Trump to enter the signing of the US-Denmark-Greenland agreement at the UN, they chose “Send in the Clowns” as the background music. Yes, it’s real.
US Democrats, you need to make signing the Rome Statutes the top priority in your legislation. Surrender your war criminals to the ICC.
Sounds like the hackers got more than we've been told. I want to know if they got the Epstein files. www.rawstory.com/hackers-fbi-...

Rough day for Susan Collins in the local Maine press, where ProPublica's bombshell story is the lead story.
The vicious and corrupt cycle of monopolization: 1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market. 2) Use their monopoly power to price gouge consumers and shaft workers. 3) Use profits to make political donations. 4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement. 5) Repeat.
"Even if he hadn’t just said he was banning outlets bc he doesn’t like their coverage, there'd still be a due process issue. They're entitled to notice & opportunity even if the reasons for stripping access are unrelated to his deep animus toward anyone accurately reporting on his shambolic admin."
Why Trump’s “ban on the free press” will go down in flames
Very illegal and very not cool.

After banning CNN, MS NOW & Politico from the White House, he installs State-Run television, just like they have in so many other countries... Sieg Heil, ya'll. #38Days 🌊
Passantino's first mistake was thinking he could out-laywer Andrew Weissmann.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 17h agoA federal judge has dismissed a defamation lawsuit brought by Stefan Passantino, a former lawyer for onetime White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, against MS NOW legal analyst Andrew Weissmann.
“The Afrikaner resettlement effort is projected to cost the U.S. government $500 million, the notice to Congress said.”
Trump administration to welcome up to 17,500 more White South Africans as refugees
The Trump administration is planning to welcome up to 17,500 additional White Afrikaners from South Africa as refugees over the next 12 months, according to a notice sent to Congress.
