Trump Fails to Win the Nobel Peace Prize He Wanted So Badly The president’s relentless push for the prestigious honor did not pay off as he’d hoped.

Remarkable. A caller with a worldview entirely in line with the right still knows Johnson is to blame for abandoning his role in the Constitutional order.

Not noted enough that he's the worst Speaker in modern US history and the single greatest abettor of dictatorship not on the Supreme Court.

The People Suing ICE What kind of spyware is ICE working with—and what government agencies are collaborating?

“Now, more than ever, it is incredibly important that we know what technologies, data-sharing capabilities the US government, and particularly ICE, has access to and is deploying.” slate.trib.al/sF4qaw0

White House staff should just make and show him an AI-generated video where he wins, fly him to Duluth and tell him it’s Oslo, and dare the New York Times to say anything more than “Experts disagree about whether Mr Trump was awarded the Nobel Prize”.

Court rulings, anti-ICE protests, Democrats: What the Trump administration sees as 'insurrection' Officials say court rulings and protests are part of an insurrection — which Trump's lawyers argued in court the Jan. 6 attack wasn't — as they consider invoking the Insurrection Act.

'Not up for discussion': Brussels rejects US pressure on climate rules In response to US demands to roll back the EU's environmental legislation, the European Commission defended its autonomous power to adopt laws.

#EU rejects US gov's 1970's vision of prosperity & preWW1- fantasies of imperial colonialism.
'The European Commission.. rejected the US’ demands regarding its environmental regulations which Washington considers too restrictive for its companies.'

Kristi Noem Secretly Took a Cut of Political Donations A dark money group paid $80,000 to Noem’s personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. She did not include this income on her federal disclosure forms, a likely violation of ethics requirem...

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

The most Trumpy thing she's done, the only thing that is lacking is scale of the grift

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

Damn, The Las Vegas Sun newspaper, @lasvegassun.bsky.social, is calling it like it is:

Letitia James, the New York attorney general who defeated Trump in court, indicted by Justice Department | CNN Politics New York Attorney General Letitia James was indicted Thursday in Alexandria, Virginia, as President Donald Trump’s Justice Department continues to pursue charges against his political opponents, two s...

What people do not understand is that there are federal prosecutorial guidelines. Even if Leticia James violated the law (and we don't know she did), federal prosecutors would not bring a case for $18,000. I indicted cases for DOJ. This is a vindictive prosecution.

the administration is laser-focused on making sure Americans don't get clean energy, so Saudi Arabia (Trump's paymaster) has someone to sell their oil to in 10 years when the rest of the world has moved on to solar+batteries

Why ICE? Why? The cruelty and terror are the point..

Oh, so they give the Peace Prize to people pushing to go AWAY from autocracy? I see the problem.

Mike, we “subsidize” your bullshit to the tune of over $200k a year and we KNOW *YOU* are not working.

Washington, with the help of big American companies like ExxonMobil, has been lobbying the EU to scrap its due diligence rules.

Behind closed doors, Brussels is telling EU capitals that it’s not on the table.

Good for him.

Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

What happened to all those constitutional conservatives in Congress?

That the attorney general doesn't try to soften or walk back what the president said about indicting his enemy, but embraces it and amplifies it, shows you where we are.

Inside the Justice Department Where the President Calls the Shots The president has executed a wholesale transformation of the Justice Department, taking control in ways he could have only dreamed of in his first term.

WSJ reports that the Truth Social message Trump directed at Pam Bondi, about indicting Jim Comey, was meant to be a DM. Asked about the post, Bondi told senators, "I don’t think he said anything that he hasn’t said for years.” We might see that remark, among others, in Comey's motion to dismiss.

The Commander in Chief Is Not Okay Trump put on a disturbing show for America’s generals and admirals.

After Donald Trump's address to military leaders today, "senior U.S. officers have to wonder who will shield them from the impulses of the person they just saw onstage," @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily.

This is terrifying

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

Puck makes a point of noting that not one GOP member of the House attended Stephen Miller's big 40th birthday. Seems like they're afraid of being tied to the most obviously fascist "mainstream" character in the history of American politics.

Among the reasons why I find this Washington Post editorial disappointing: It is contradicted by the reporting that appeared in the paper's own pages. (To which I and my colleagues contributed.) This framing is tendentious and inaccurate. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

To understand the Trump administration’s vision for American education, @megomatz.bsky.social and I studied dozens of hours of political appointees’ speeches and podcasts and essays. What emerged is a desire to dismantle the nation’s system of public schools.
