The dude is circling the drain. He’s now calling on people in media to be imprisoned for treason if they don’t report on the war to his liking.

CBS just got grouped with North Korea at the Oscars and honestly… they earned it.

Jimmy Kimmel was there to hand out an award. He handed out something else too. Bravo Jimmy!

The way Ed Harris looked at Amy Madigan when her name was read was one of the most beautiful things. Just sheer love and pride and trust and oh my god I’m already welling up.

The sad truth: The Supreme Court has ceased being the guarantor of our constitutionally guaranteed freedoms. Instead, the Court now rubber-stamps Trump's efforts to undermine the Constitution, destroy free speech, and end voting rights--usually via the "shadow docket" with no legal reasoning given.

Imagine you told Florida you were going to set off a dozen thermonuclear detonations to cut a canal from Jacksonville to Apalachee Bay.

Credit Bureaus Are Leaving More Mistakes on Frustrated Consumers’ Reports Under Trump’s CFPB The credit bureaus have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help since the Trump administration began dismantling the CFPB.

Rebecca Sheppard has been unable to fix a glaring error on her credit report, which plunged because of $240K in student loan debt she doesn’t owe.

She’s one of many consumers who’ve struggled to get mistakes resolved under Trump’s CFPB.

Class struggle, but weird: The surreal politics of this year's Oscar nominees The Best Picture contenders reflect a mad world—and they're suitably lurid, pulpy, comic, and strange.

Farm workers in Arvin CA are hard at work setting up the irrigation system in a vegetable field.

Farm workers in Arvin CA are hard at work setting up the irrigation system in a vegetable field. This is crucial for maximizing crop yield and quality, by providing consistent moisture directly to roots, which reduces plant stress and helps prevent disease. #WeFeedYou

No Nobles Day: Britain's Parliament boots its last hereditary Lords after 700 years Government minister Nick Thomas-Symonds said the change put an end to "an archaic and undemocratic principle." The removed aristocrats are 92 of the House of Lords' 800 members.

Congratulations to Britain for kicking out people in the House of Lords just because they have hereditary titles. The tradition was deemed, rightly, undemocratic.

In this same vein, can the United States abolish the unrepresentative Senate?

To Address Farm Labor Shortage, Trump Administration Turns to Migrant Workers

"These actions are going to displace domestic farmworkers who have been working in the fields and putting food on dinner tables for decades, and bring a work force that is even more vulnerable to abuse" said UFW President Teresa Romero

Tl;dr: Americans have trouble understanding there is ~nothing unique about Trump. He is part of the broad wave of far right parties/politicians since 2008 across rich democracies. Our institutions just suck more.

Europeans have trouble understanding there is ~nothing unique about Trump. See above.

Anyway, there are just as many transatlanticist, pro-free trade & international cooperation, pro-democracy folks in 🇺🇸 as there are in 🇬🇧 & every 🇪🇺 country. Our problems are institutional & structural. I get that Europeans are scared. I am, too. But this is not helpful. 🇬🇧/🇪🇺 fascists are also fascists.

Germany is ~exactly America, in terms of its distribution of voters, saved by mixed-member proportional representation, a Bundesrat, & an actual constitutional court.

Orban is Trump, literally in the heart of 🇪🇺. Brexit was Trumpism saved from full authoritarianism by a parliamentary system.

Etc.

Actually, Americans are just like you. ~20-30% of them genuinely support fascism, as in ~every 🇪🇺 country. You are just more fortunate to have political institutions & a multiparty system that prevent that 20-30% from fully capturing the center-right party, becoming 51%, & controlling the government.

The Latest Economic Numbers Are Brutal for Trump There’s an increasing chance that the economy will be in recession come the midterm elections this fall.

Even if the war ends next week, the instability it created will continue to disrupt an economy that was already headed for trouble before it began. trib.al/4qpEi4R
