“I think [Bolsonaro] wanted some kind of penalty - something he could use to say: ‘Look, Brazil’s being punished because of Bolsonaro’s persecution. But [the tariffs] went far too far … [they] screwed Bolsonaro’s (agribusiness) base." - Celso Rocha de Barros.

It was nice meeting you in person. That's me in the aqua blue.

But Hegseth was really upset about the email lady and said anyone else to do something so incompetent would and should be fired.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

This national security breach is so terrifying — and so incompetent — that it’s truly impossible to comprehend.

A "former" major Democratic law firm.

Lawyers at Paul Weiss now have a choice. Stay and understand you are now aligned with Trump or leave with your dignity.

Today, President Donald J. Trump agreed to withdraw his March 14, 2025 Executive Order regarding the Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP law firm ("Paul, Weiss"), which has entered into the following agreement with the President: 1. Paul, Weiss agrees that the bedrock principle of American Justice is that it must be fair and nonpartisan for all. Our Justice System is betrayed when it is misused to achieve political ends. Lawyers and law firms play a vital role in ensuring that we live up to that standard as a Nation. Law firms should not favor any political party when it comes to choosing their clients. Firms also should not make decisions on whom to hire based on a person's political affiliation. To do otherwise is to deny some Americans an equal opportunity for our services while favoring others. Lawyers abandon the profession's highest ideals when they engage in partisan decision-making, and betray the ethical obligation to represent those who are unpopular or disfavored in a particular environment.

2. Paul, Weiss affirms its unwavering commitment to these core ideals and principles, and will not deny representation to clients, including in pro bono matters and in support of non-profits, because of the personal political views of individual lawyers. 3. Paul, Weiss will take on a wide range of pro bono matters that represent the full spectrum of political viewpoints of our society, whether "conservative" or "liberal." 4. Paul, Weiss affirms its commitment to merit-based hiring, promotion, and retention, and will not adopt, use, or pursue any DEl policies. As part of its commitment, it will engage experts, to be mutually agreed upon within 14 days, to conduct a comprehensive audit of all of its employment practices. 5. Paul, Weiss will dedicate the equivalent of $40 million in pro bono legal services over the course of President Trump's term to support the Administration's initiatives, including: assisting our Nation's veterans, fairness in the Justice System, the President's Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, and other mutually agreed

Statement from the White House: "The President is agreeing to this action in light of a meeting with Paul, Weiss Chairman, Brad Karp, during which Mr. Karp acknowledged the wrongdoing of former Paul, Weiss partner, Mark Pomerantz, the grave dangers of Weaponization, and the vital need to restore our System of Justice." In response to the President's announcement, Paul, Weiss's Chairman Brad Karp said: "We are gratified that the President has agreed to withdraw the Executive Order concerning Paul, Weiss. We look forward to an engaged and constructive relationship with the President and his Administration."

This is wild. Trump says he’s withdrawing his executive order targeting the Paul Weiss law firm because they acknowledged “wrongdoing.”

They’re also going to provide “$40 million in pro bono legal services over the course of President Trump's term to support the Administration's initiatives”

Cruelty is the point.

How is this making America great, exactly? Isn't this just freeing up funds to shift to people who are already obscenely rich?

The only socialism the Right likes is socialism for the top 3%.

Man, it costs us so little to help sick people and gain the only cheap and easy foreign favor you can get. Just handing over all our soft power to China on a platter.

If your take away is House Dems screwed Senate Democrats you arent a serious political reporter

The strategy of this administration is to create so much chaos that it's hard to focus on a clear path to triage the devastation. Democrats are trying to create a more unified message and prioritize where to stem the bleeding. A shutdown isn't the best for the country but we need leverage.

It's the only leverage we have.

I want to do a project where I go a little deeper on scientific papers that get picked up in the news. If you see anything that might be a good candidate, hit me up!
