“The Trump administration has continued to launch personal attacks against judges.” The Trump administration is deliberately encouraging right wing terrorism in America. And the Trump appointed Department of Injustice is doing little or nothing to stop it. Gift article 👇🏼

This federal judge ruled against Trump. Then the threats began.

U.S. District Judge John McConnell’s experience is emblematic of the climate facing jurists, whether nominated by Democratic or Republican presidents.

Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West

Chart showing solar panel exports from China (the main solar panel maker by a long shot) growing steadily & mightily from 2018 through 2026, then spiking by almost 2x in March 2026.

French here quotes the weirdest line of his unobjectionable piece. "The initial American strategy failed." There was no strategy, and this column doesn't describe one either. [And the global nature of this goes back to nearly the start of it, even on what is public.]

The initial American strategy failed, the war with Iran is consuming the region, Iran and Ukraine are risking a face-off, both Russia and China are escalating their military commitments, American munitions are dwindling and Trump is raging. Other than that, everything is fine.

Reminder: Trump doesn't care about the slush fund. He only really cares about himself. The deal was originally to award him billions for the "suffering" he endured while being investigated but when that fell through, his main goal was to get tax immunity. That's the non-negotiable bit for him.

Corporate spending on elections has already topped $500 million this year. That's one third of the $1.58 billion in total that corporations have spent since Citizens United in 2010. Hawaii and Montana both have plans to neutralize this disastrous SCOTUS ruling. Other states must get on board.

One of the most brilliant aspects of The Boys is the depiction of Homelander as a soulless narcissist surrounded by A) sycophantic worshippers who believed his self-serving lies and B) cynical flatterers who pretended to believe his lies because they feared what he'd do to them.

Trump: “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a 70, & am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, bc I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it”

Trump: “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a score of 70, and am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, because I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it, and they don’t! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Favreau: He’s a moron. He’s gotten us into a disastrous war. He made everything more expensive. He has bumbled his way through his second term by using the government to make himself rich and punish everyone who doesn’t like him. And also, on Trump “losing a step”—Donald Trump never had a step.

Distillation: I kept quiet as this maniac ruined my family’s life to help my party retain power. I am only speaking up now because his abuse became public and I looked like a sniveling coward, which I most certainly am. May god have mercy on my pathetic soul
