This is dangerous

Rule of law is ‘endangered,’ chief justice says Speaking at Georgetown Law, Chief Justice John Roberts denounced “ad hominem” criticism of the justices.

It's almost as if granting a criminal blanket immunity was a bad idea.

Trump's "big" trade deal is with the UK:
- It's a framework not a deal
- They're our 11th largest trading partner
- They're only 3% of US trade (97% to go)
- They *already* charge average tariffs of only 1% (limited upside)

It's a photo op, not a macroeconomically significant moment.

Translation: still no deals

this this this!

National Climate Assessment Authors Are Dismissed by Trump Administration The Trump administration told researchers it was “releasing” them from their roles. It puts the future of the assessment, which is required by Congress, in doubt.

💔 for my children: “The Trump administration has dismissed the hundreds of scientists and experts who had been compiling the federal government’s flagship report on how global warming is affecting the country.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/c...

So one of the places targeted for tariffs is an island inhabited only by penguins.
Can’t wait to hear what they buy from us.

No facts. No policies. No plan.
Only the circus of sycophants.

Anyone have that sinking feeling happening?

I just don’t get all the talk in some circles that we can take solace from Trump’s low and sinking approval ratings. He is pursuing wanton destruction of our institutions, alliances and values without concern about the will of the people.

A lot of people are going to die from this

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

Now is a time to stay informed. To create a small space in this world of sanity. That you can go to in these times of utter insanity.
Do what is right for you. Do it safely to take care of you. Do what you can do. Concentrate on what YOU can only control.
Protect your corner.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Today marks 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz, a time to honor the resilience of survivors and remember those who perished.

Let us reflect on the lessons of history and commit to a future of justice, compassion, and the fight against hate.
