Taylor Townsend on the argument with Jelena Ostapenko at US Open

“It’s competition… people get upset when they lose. Some people say bad things. She told me I have no class & no education & to see what happens when we get outside the U.S.” 🥶

Hands off our museums, the arts, our schools, our libraries!!!

While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused.

Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right?

Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

Trump has made no comment. The White House has found the time to post a video of the arrest of that guy who threw a sandwich at a cop, but nothing about a cop killed defending the government's own employees.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, whose district includes parts of Atlanta, has also said nothing.

Venezuelan Little League team denied travel visas to U.S. for World Series The Cacique Mara Little League team from Maracaibo, Venezuela, will not be able to participate in the Senior League Baseball World Series in South Carolina this year.

Law Firm Skadden Arps Seeks Deal to Avert Trump Executive Order The discussions come as other major firms are said to be trying to cut deals with the White House.

“They’re all bending and saying, ‘Sir, thank you very much,’” Mr. Trump said, adding, “Law firms are just saying: ‘Where do I sign? Where do I sign?’”

Supreme Court rebuffs Trump in fight over foreign aid bills The order is a significant but potentially short-lived victory for operators of foreign aid programs.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court narrowly ruled, 5-4, that the Trump administration must comply with a district court order and pay out nearly $2 billion in foreign assistance funds to nonprofit aid groups.

There's something even more maddening than usual about watching this cheap, pampered little thug presuming to lecture a guy who's worth 50 of him.

The Putinization of America Trump’s deference to the Russian dictator has become full-blown imitation.

I started today’s “Putinization of America” article for the Atlantic before the Trump-Zelensky meeting was announced, but I have a bad track record when it comes to hoping I’m wrong. It could’ve been scripted by Putin, especially Vance’s attacks. Maybe it was. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

'Significant workforce reductions' are coming to the Social Security Administration The move, which is in line with an executive order from President Trump to slash the federal workforce, raises concerns about staffing at the agency that delivers crucial benefits to Americans.

Social Security is under attack.

You worked hard. You paid in with every paycheck. You earned your Social Security. Now, Trump and the far-right want to gut federal services, delaying your benefits—all to bankroll massive tax cuts for their billionaire donors.

We won’t let them get away with it.

Opinion | America Has a Rogue President The firing of three judge advocate generals is one more element of this administration’s attack on the rule of law.

Sotomayor’s dissent in Trump v. United States: “Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends. Because if he knew that he may one day face liability for breaking the law, he might not be as bold and fearless as we would like him to be. That is the majority’s message today. Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, and I pray they never do, the damage has been done. The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law.”

Why would Trump want control of the USPS?

Louis DeJoy to step down as Trump eyes USPS privatization plan As the postmaster general steps down after five years, there's great uncertainty about the future of the U.S. Postal Service.

Trump’s push to privatize USPS is a SCAM for billionaires.

It'll lead to

❌ Higher costs
❌ Service cuts
❌ 600K+ jobs lost
❌ Threats to mail security

USPS is a public service, not a profit SCHEME. We're fighting back.

Trump is expected to take control of USPS and fire the postal board and has been advised to privatize it. Now we know why DeJoy resigned now. He plans to buy it. This must be stopped because this new entity will refuse mail in ballots.
