Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute learned that the Government of Ontario, Canada, created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan delivering his "Radio Address to the Nation on Free and Fair Trade," dated April 25, 1987. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address, and the Government of Ontario did not seek nor receive permission to use and
edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter. We encourage you to watch President Reagan's unedited video on our
YouTube channel.

The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish.

The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Yep. This is what was wrong with Iran-Contra. The executive branch illegally sold weapons to Iran and then illegally gave the proceeds to a right wing counter-revolutionary organization. The latter part was doubly illegal: 1) it was done without Congressional appropriation, and

If the President Is Impeached for Treason, Is Everyone Else Removed from Office as Well? Some confusion over the meaning and process of impeachment resulted in the spread of false information about the potential results of treason charges against a U.S. president.

That’s not in the constitution. There is no special treason impeachment that causes the removal of other officials.

I suppose the House and Senate could do a mass impeachment and removal of multiple Executive Branch officials including the president.

However, the second part of your post says there’s automatic removal of the vp and other officials if the president is impeached and removed for treason.

This is not in the Constitution. That section reads: β€œThe President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

Millions march against the fascism the #BrokenTimes is blind to. It now refuses to count their numbers and it muffles their voices in small, BTW headlines. This is not journalism.

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like β€œoh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

Today in history, 1972: The Clean Water Act becomes law, with Congress overriding Nixon’s veto. It was the first time in history that the U.S. government imposed strict regulations on pollution and the quality of the nation’s waters. /1
