Um, whatever happened to that little story a few weeks ago about hundreds of Trump's accounts being closed by Capital One bank because investigators found evidence of money laundering????? 🤷‍♂️🙄

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers: “We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 45 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

The fires of hell are not hot enough for the people who did this to him and so many others. They WANTED innocent people to be caught up in this cruelty. That's why this evil government insisted on no due process.

@washingtonpost.com They were not DEPORTED. Deported means sending them back to their country of origin. These people were sent to a maximum security prison in El Salvador, without any due process or any analysis as to whether they feared harm in El Salvador!

The judge also ordered it to restore funds "appropriated in the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Improvement and Jobs Act." In a footnote, the judge points out that the Trump admin understood the TRO's unambiguous directives when they violated it.
"The Defendants issued a broad, categorical, all-encompassing directive freezing federal funding. The plain language of the TRO entered in this case prohibits all categorical pauses or freezes in obligations or disbursements based on the OMB Directive or based on the President’s 2025 Executive Orders. The Defendants received notice of the TRO, the Order is clear and unambiguous, and there are no impediments to the Defendants’ compliance with the Order.""The Defendants acknowledged that they understood what the TRO required: “Federal agencies cannot pause, freeze, impede, block, cancel, or terminate any awards or obligations on the basis of the OMB Memo,
or on the basis of the President’s recently issued Executive Orders.”

For decades, America has been promoting checks and balances and the rule of law around the world. But now these principles are under assault in Washington, and nobody seems to know what to do.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus just sounded off on Trump. "So yes, they are our neighbors, but we've stood up to them. We're in a different situation with Trump, a convicted predator, who's seriously undermining the democratic process in the US. And he thinks he can just push us around. He insults us."

Much has changed since the show debuted on Broadway in 1966, but it’s what hasn’t changed that should worry us.

This is a very important point. Please let everyone know.
Post by John Nichols:

Harris is now winning a higher percentage of the popular vote than Trump in 2016 or 2020.

Trump 2016: 46.1%

Trump 2020: 46.8%

Harris 2024: 48.4%

Trump didn’t win a “landslide” in 2024. In fact, his victory margin is one of the smallest in US history.

Fun Fact: If the sun was scaled to the size of basketball; Mercury would be the size of a grain of sand 33 feet away, Earth would be the size of a BB 86 feet away, Jupiter would be the size of a gum ball 445 feet away. The nearest star would 5,000 miles away.
