International Criminal Court braces for possible US sanctions. The U.S. House of Representatives voted this month to punish the court for issuing arrest warrants for war criminal and Trump ally Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yoav Gallant over Israel's campaign in Gaza.

Exclusive: International Criminal Court prepares for possible US sanctions
The International Criminal Court has taken measures to shield staff from possible U.S. sanctions, paying salaries three months in advance, as it braces for financial restrictions that could cripple the war crimes tribunal, two sources said on Friday.

This was inevitable. Trump and the GOP’s Immigration fearmongering is going to end up being the Brexit of the American economy — an unforced error that will set us back a long way. www.nbcbayarea.com/news/califor...

The Trump administration is treating the deported immigrants inhumanely. "On the plane they didn't give us water, we were tied hands and feet, they wouldn't even let us go to the bathroom." Horrible, inexcusable. www.yahoo.com/news/brazil-...

Sure, Trump broke the law by firing inspector generals without 30 days’ notice. But here’s the bigger issue: inspector generals find fraud, waste, and abuse, saving taxpayers money. This wasn’t for the people—it was done to cut off checks and balances for Trump’s corrupt administration.

As we watch companies like Target surrender to the extremists over DEI and pressures from the extreme right they're negotiating with cannibals. They'll never be satisfied with just a little taste. It's a death spiral that they must resist like Costco. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.

I’m really shocked that when Trump threatened Putin with tariffs earlier this week and gave him a very stern warning on Truth Social that he didn’t stop the war immediately. I assume that Trump does have some other plan. Maybe Catturd can make a threatening meme for him to post.
