Yet now, as they scramble to protect their interests in a second Trump term, these same companies are not merely sidling up to Breitbart-othey are actually underwriting it. They are showing corporate support for a MAGA propaganda engine that has stoked anti-immigrant hate, cheered the warping of the Justice Department, run cover for Trump's corrupt behavior, vilified the news media, and much more

Credit to @oliverdarcy.bsky.social for continuing to call out the moral cowardice of blue chip companies & their CEO’s. With every step, they march right alongside Trump & his vile policies. Keep that in mind when you shop, bank, use social media, etc.

Mark Kelly: "He's talked about sending troops into more cities, he's talked about invoking the Insurrection Act. You don't have to go too far back to his 1st administration when he went to his Sec Def & said, 'Can't we just shoot these protesters in the legs.' That is an example of an illegal order"

18. ABC News’ Jonathan Karl was right to say Trump seemed rattled. But he isn’t rattled by defeat. He fears what would happen if his party decides to stand by and watch.

17. So the push by some Republicans to release the Epstein files can be seen as a fight over the future of party leadership. If enough Republicans believe his time is over, that might expose Trump to the outcomes of Democratic aggression: impeachment, removal, or perhaps prosecution.

16. Though Trump is selling the idea of running for an illegal third term, ambitious Republicans aren’t buying it. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie and others are competing for advantage in anticipation of the time when Trump is gone.

15. There is one big difference, though. Back then, when the Republicans wanted Trump to get reelected in 2020, they had incentive to play along with his makebelieve. Things are very different now.

β€œIf the report doesn’t prove the worst thing imaginable, then it proves Trump is totally innocent … We won’t know what is in the Epstein files until they’re released. But no matter what they show, we can expect Trump will say that they exonerate him.”

14. That’s what he did with documents showing his collusion with Russia before the 2016 election, and that’s what he’s going to do with the Epstein files. Beckwith:

Trump is reusing his scandal playbook on the Epstein files The president has a predictable set of arguments. The one coming next is clear.

13. In these loopholes are the makings of a familiar play, wrote MS Now’s Ryan Teague Beckwith. Trump will pretend to be exonerated.

1. On Tuesday, the House overwhelmingly passed a bill to force the release of the Epstein files, 427-1. Even before it arrived at the Senate, it was passed by unanimous consent. Last night, the president signed it.

Donald Trump caved, but this isn't not over.

Here are some more thoughts.

So the problem isn’t only that Platner is a man born of good fortune who has successfully co-opted the image of the working-class man. It’s also that this image is being exploited by elites who want to move the Democrats away from being a party of multiracial pluralism.

Why doesn’t Platner come clean? More importantly is this: The authenticity that comes from appropriating the culture of the working class seems to satisfy the needs of elites outside the Democratic Party who seek to reshape it.

Why doesn’t Platner come clean? The answer is that there’s something more authentic about being seen as a β€œworking-class Mainer” than in being seen as the privileged son of a well-off family who seems to have failed to live up to expectations.

Graham Platner’s federal disclosure offers few details on personal finances The Hancock County oyster farmer and Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate filed his overdue financial disclosure last week, but it said little about his income.

A working class man would have finances so thin there'd be no point in hiding them from public view.

More precisely, you are a leftist intellectual's idea of a working class man, leftist intellectual who is himself the son of a man whose affluence he is ashamed of.
