A meaningful resolution of Blanche’s IRS deal would have been: - Immunity is rescinded: Trump can refile his lawsuit when he leaves office to avoid conflict of interest; - Blanche agrees DOJ will make no payouts to J6 defendants and other criminals prosecuted by Biden DOJ without court oversight.
The tricky part for a future Dem Admin is going to be finding a way to divest the US govt from these companies without tanking their stock price & hurting them over the long term. What Trump is doing is a fundamental tenet of communism while he distracts by claiming Dems are.
I have a question for those who study the media: Does anyone in corporate owned media wonder if their declining audience and trust is the product of events like we saw last night? Because, as someone who started an independent media outlet, it is definitely part of our growth.

The New York Times twists itself in knots rather than say simply and accurately that Trump is lying.
Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 3w agoGreat example of NY Times sanewashing Trump. No, the issue is not clarifying which ships have made it through Hormuz. He was lying. The claim that oil was "flowing like never before" is false. At most, fewer than half the pre-war volume got out. One small example of a much larger phenomenon.
Really pathetic that the president’s response to an international crisis — one he caused, no less — is to whine and attempt to taunt using an imagined no-chance-of-happening fantasy. And really pathetic that this combo of substantive failure with a show of bluster is what millions of voters want.
Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · 3w agoTrump on Iran: “We are going to keep the strait. We will probably run it. “We will become the guardian of the strait, and when we do that, we will be reimbursed for it. “We guarded the strait for 50 years, and we never got paid for it. We guarded it for nothing, but now we will make money.”

I'm traveling right now, but still found time (huddled in a hotel lobby) to write about Trump's total surrender in his unnecessary, unconstitutional, unconscionable war against Iran.

Russell Vought’s grant proposal would give political appointees unprecedented influence over our federal research funding, threatening the independence of American science. That’s why we’re fighting back. Visit the link in our bio to take action, or go here: Article: zurl.co/AyP3y
I’ve spent 40 years in research. I have never seen a threat to science like the new grantmaking rule
The federal government is now proposing to fundamentally rewire scientific research review for no good reason.

This is your reminder that Trump’s new national school voucher program will siphon money out of public schools and costs taxpayers tens of billions of dollars. We’ve already seen this play out in Arizona. I have a bill to stop it.

"Since its founding in 2002, a combination of organizational flaws and mission creep has allowed D.H.S. to evolve into the out-of-control domestic security apparatus we have today, one that views the very people it is supposed to protect as threats, not humans."
