“There is no plausible defense of Trump's TruthSocial scheme,” declared National Review Senior Editor Charles Cooke. “It is flagrantly corrupt. It is impeachable. Congress should intervene. (It won't, I know.)” www.alternet.org/trump-impeac...
Top conservative magazine calls it: Trump should be impeached
The National Review – the preeminent conservative magazine since 1955 — called it: President Donald Trump has done the “impeachable.”

The Beeb's response is funny enough on its own. But bc I have not ingested enough cat videos today, I read it to myself in a proper British accent and it's even funnier that way. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![I. THE TRUMP TRUST’S REQUEST FOR A STAY IS NOT AN EMERGENCY.
As a threshold matter, the Trump Trust’s motion for a stay is hardly an emergency. As
the Trump Trust frames the issue, its motion is an emergency because “[o]nce the Trust were to
begin handing those records over to the BBC, that disclosure could not be undone, and the
Trust’s pending objections could not restore what the BBC will have already seen.” Mot. at 2.
But “bona fide emergencies involve the health and safety of individuals, the impending departure
of a witness with no plans to return to the jurisdiction, the imminent destruction of a building or other property, the imminent deportation of an individual to another country, the need to give
critical medical treatment to a patient in a hospital, the threatened loss of civil rights, the
immediate, threatened loss of an entire business, or when someone is at risk of being denied an
essential service.” Companhia Energetica Potiguar v. Caterpillar Inc., 2016 WL 7469993, at *3
(S.D. Fla. Apr. 13, 2016) (Goodman, M.J.) (denying emergency motion to stay enforcement of
Magistrate Judge’s discovery order). By contrast, a deadline arriving after two weeks’ notice to
produce non-privileged documents—which may be designated “Confidential” or “Attorneys’
Eyes Only” under the Court’s Protective Order—does not justify the rare invocation of the
Court’s emergency procedures.
It is not even clear from the Trump Trust’s briefing what the purported emergency is
here. See id. (“But the mere fact that [the movant] did not obtain all the relief it wanted hardly
means that this situation is an emergency.”) (emphasis in original). Simply because the Trump
Trust faces an obligation it does not agree with, and is confronted with an imminent deadline of
its own making by waiting to file its stay motion until the day before its first Court-ordered
disclosure day, does not make its request an emergency](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreihfw75bjjm6e3um2e76g2xx4trhl3sfnsh2arkqo4o7j7ngnhpygy)
SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏
🔥 NEW UNEARTHED AUDIO: Todd Blanche, Trump's “fixer” and nominee for Attorney General, is working to ban abortion in "every single state." Republicans in the Senate just voted to advance Blanche's nomination out of committee — he should be immediately disqualified as a partisan hack.
I just started reading "How to Kill a Witch" by Zoe Venditozzi and Claire Mitchell (WitchesofScotland.com), and a line in the introduction nails it: "when the going gets tough in any society, it is the most vulnerable who are accused of causing the damage"

The gaslighting is off the charts with this one. Every word is a lie. His actual approval rating is the second worst in modern presidential history, behind only Nixon’s 24% just before he resigned.

Rep Max Miller made a video smearing his ex-wife as a liar. He claims his daughter’s injuries happened at daycare. He blames left-wing media. And he sounds drunk. I’m not going to share the video. It’s triggering if you’re a DV survivor.

The Arctic Circle just reached a temperature that once seemed almost impossible for such a frozen region: above 100°F, or 38°C … a shocking first … fragile regions are rapidly changing. Sometimes one number can tell a much bigger story … climate change is no longer distant. It’s here. It’s now.
It's been a long time since I studied journalism but I vividly remember the part about it being our job to discern the truth from the lie.
A few hours before Jeanine Pirro moved to dismiss the Reflecting Pool prosecution of Olympian Davey Hearn (but "without prejudice"), Michael Bromwich joined Hearn's team. Bromwich is a former DOJ inspector general, SDNY prosecutor, & Iran-Contra special prosecutor. Could be interesting.
The Trump-Vance administration is continuing to ramp up attacks on states’ voting procedures and attempts to access private voter data ahead of the November midterms. We will keep shedding light on these baseless attempts to undermine our voting rights and free and fair elections.

The President of the United States repeatedly lying about American citizens and trying to lock them up in a pathetic attempt to cover up a botched renovation of the Reflection Pool that wasted millions of taxpayer dollars should be a much bigger story in the news.
