Trump shook hands and broed out with Canada's prime minister Mark Carney in a luxury box, then slapped a 50% tariff on Canadian imports. He can't stop fighting with our allies for a single day. Watch the full video: youtu.be/DTzf52JTVJ0
Apologies to all those who like black licorice flavor jelly beans. My high school teacher made this up to demonstrate the inevitability of bad decisions. This administration is making a lot of bad decisions but there's a black jelly bean in the jar that's giving 2008 vibes.

Marco Rubio's war on "leftist terror" relies on incidents from 50+ years ago. He couldn't cite a single modern example. Meanwhile, Americans are dying in Iran. This is a distraction, and a direct attack on free speech. The latest from @rashedmian.bsky.social for #UNFTR.
With Iran War Lost, Trump Seeks to Start One at Home.
The Trump administration is going to extreme levels to quash dissent by conflating speech with violence and labelling people on the left domestic terrorists.

Elon Musk spent years warning that AI could end humanity. Then he decided he couldn't stop it anyway, so he just joined the acceleration club instead. That's the ultimate grift: manufacture concern, claim powerlessness, profit from chaos. Watch the full video: youtu.be/ztEHE6N5kHM

@jamestalarico.bsky.social for Texas US Senate gets it - under his opponent Ken Paxton and Gov. Abbott, data centers are running amok in TX. Talarico has a sensible plan to regulate data centers. Texas, he is the right choice for your next senator, not the corrupt, 15 home owning Paxton.
BREAKING: Sen. Dick Durbin accuses Todd Blanche of lying under oath. He says Blanche told him in his office — with witnesses — that the slush fund was a mistake. In his confirmation hearing, Blanche denied that remark.

I spoke with 10 CNNers about David Ellison's essay in The NYT, in which he tried to convince the public he'll be a good steward of CNN. Suffice to say, no one at the network is buying what he's selling. “We all have eyes and ears and see what’s happening at CBS." www.status.news/p/david-elli...
NEW from me: I think this is the perfect time to use Rachel Maddow’s oft-repeated phrase - ‘watch what they do- not what they say.’ Ignore Ellison's PR pitch, but look at what's happening at CBS News including directing reporters to add “facts” that did not exist. open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...
David Ellison can’t be trusted with CNN
We've already seen how Ellison has wrecked CBS. Don't fall for his PR push on CNN.

Abdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
Texans, including former State Rep. Lon Burnam, were arrested for defending our voting rights. Tarrant County leaders tried to slash 𝟭𝟰𝟬 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆. That’s nearly HALF of the election day polling locations! Texans showed up, fought back, and forced them to back down—for now.

Any Senator who votes to confirm Todd Blanche is also siding with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell – and is actively participating in covering-up their numerous and heinous crimes.
A disappointing decision. A federal judge reluctantly dismissed the remaining criminal charges against eight Oath Keepers charged with seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 attack after the Justice Department requested the case be thrown out.
