Trumpโ€™s anti-press outburst hits differently with a Saudi prince by his side | CNN Business President Trump frequently demonstrates his disdain for journalists. He expresses his admiration for authoritarians almost as often. Tuesday showed how intertwined those two instincts really are.

And with foreign aid we have saved millions of lives, lifted the poor from poverty and fed the hungry. Christian stuff.

Sen Lee reposted this in an effort to make us think our gifts were a waste.
I think we used to be the white hatted cowboys. Lee demands austerity for all. Black hats for us.

Federal court blocks Texas from using new congressional gerrymander in 2026 midterms โ€” The Texas Tribune Texas cannot use its new congressional map for the 2026 election and will instead need to stick with the lines passed in 2021, a three-judge panel ruled Tuesday.

Breaking the rules has setbacks. Trump should know this better than any person in the country. Defamation loses, NYC code violations, convictions, classified documentsโ€ฆ

He gets a temp pass for official actions while in officeโ€ฆbut even then plans backfire.

Senator Lee,
The Judicial Branch is the umpire. They make sure the executive&legislative branches follow the rules. When they donโ€™t, they must step in. They give the other branch a chance to make it right-when they donโ€™t-they will step in. Like parents w/ children!

If Trump genuinely wanted the Epstein files released, he could order the Justice Department to release them โ€” rather than go through the circus of a discharge petition.

Trump has already tried time and time again to usurp the power of Congress.

What's stopping him now?

If anything the legislature waited until the last moment as they stumbled around trying to rig it their way, again.

Not surprising!

Who did send troops to Portland when there was no need? (People in frog costume mocking men in uniforms?)

Please, Senator Lee, stop the grandstanding.

Olivia Nuzzi, who had FaceTime sex with RFK Jr. during the 2024 presidential campaign, ALSO slept with former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford during the 2020 campaign?

And she kept her job as a political reporter after that?

Now she has a book deal?

And those congressional districts are supposed to follow the laws and constitution of Utah.

In this case, the legislature ignored the law and will of the people. If they had done what was right instead of what they wanted-the maps would be different.

40% of the state will now have 25% representation in the House of Representatives.

Less, if you count the senators- 16.667%.

Wonโ€™t be happy until it is zero representation. Remember that when you are once again in the minority party-or out of office.

The Utah legislatureโ€™s supermajority appointed this very judge to the bench; along with the appeals and Utah Supreme Court. โ€œPartisanโ€ would mean she would lean toward the GOP supermajority.

Instead,in the face of death threats, just called balls& strikes.

Mike-you are destabilizing. Take the L.
