🇨🇦question: when POTUS “gets” universities to pay millions in a settlement, by which statute is he collecting those funds & where does that money go? The news makes it sound like Trump is paid personally, which is surely illegal @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @arimelber.bsky.social

3/4. If we accept the idea that moving a person from one place to another undoes rights and disempowers the judiciary, we are endorsing the basic Nazism practice that enabled the killing of millions.

Matt Taibbi headline:

Farewell to Volodymyr Zelensky, the GEICO Lizard of the New World Order

Thanking God that the era of mandatory applause for neoliberal mascots is finally over. Can Greta Thunberg come to the White House next?

It's very cool and totally not problematic to call the Jewish leader of Ukraine a "lizard of the New World Order."

Tepid. Trump could pull a much better coup before most Dems can find polite words to describe it.

That’s the rub when someone like Trump only speaks in vaguery. It gives him carte blanche to do anything, and leaves both his opponents and supporters to fill in the empty space with their own ideas about what he intends. No surprise that people are experiencing an unexpected reality.

So Justin Trudeau is now saying the tariffs have been paused for 30 days as they implement a new border plan.

Basically, after the markets freaked, Trump backed off of the threats while Mexico and Canada essentially promised to do things that they were already doing.

It’s all theatrics and performative.

Trump creates the problem or challenge.

Trump then offers a fake fix or solution to the fake problem or challenge.

Trump sycophants then cheer him as a genius and a political leader and problem-solver for the ages.

Rinse and repeat.

Theatrics. That’s it.

Mexico & Canada did literally nothing to stop the Trump tariffs.

The stock market stopped the tariffs as Wall Street always assumed it would.

A reminder that on this site folks may be aware that Trump got basically nothing new or substantive from Mexico or Canada but over on the other place, and out in parts of the real world, the GOP are successfully and ruthlessly spinning these as wins. They are messaging masters, Dems aren’t. Sorry 🤷🏽‍♂️

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.
