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 CEOβs. 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 Newsβ Jonathan Karl was right to say Trump seemed rattled. But he isnβt 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 arenβt 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.

βIf the report doesnβt prove the worst thing imaginable, then it proves Trump is totally innocent β¦ We wonβt know what is in the Epstein files until theyβre released. But no matter what they show, we can expect Trump will say that they exonerate him.β
14. Thatβs what he did with documents showing his collusion with Russia before the 2016 election, and thatβs what heβs 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 Nowβs 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 isnβt only that Platner is a man born of good fortune who has successfully co-opted the image of the working-class man. Itβs also that this image is being exploited by elites who want to move the Democrats away from being a party of multiracial pluralism.

Why doesnβt 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 doesnβt Platner come clean? The answer is that thereβs something more authentic about being seen as a βworking-class Mainerβ than in being seen as the privileged son of a well-off family who seems to have failed to live up to expectations.

With pieces of dialogue spliced together from different members, the lawmakers introduce themselves and their background. They go on to say the Trump administration βis pitting our uniformed military against American citizens. They call for service members to βrefuse illegal ordersβ and βstand up for our laws.β
The lawmakers conclude the video by encouraging service members, βDonβt give up the ship,β a War of 1812-era phrase attributed to a U.S. Navy captainβs dying command to his crew.
