Trump isn’t just undermining the foundations of the federal government, he’s violating collective bargaining agreements with unions. As Republicans stay silent, he’s sending a dangerous message: the rule of law and contracts mean nothing if you’re in the White House.

A federal judge gives the government until tomorrow to answer about the Venezuelan deportees: 1) When and from where did the plane take off? 2) When did it leave U.S. airspace? 3) When and where did it land? 4) When were individuals transferred out of U.S. custody? 5) How many people were aboard?

Another day, another clear example of rampant corruption by Trump. He's firing Democratic Commissioners at the independent watchdog agency that protects consumers & workers, and holds corporate America accountable. Yet again, he's letting his billionaire buddies rig the game.

The decision not to use an interpreter and the power imbalance between the parties, as well as Zelensky’s “warrior energy” due to his position as a wartime leader contributed to the meeting boiling over in such a dramatic way, body language experts said.

Elon Musk compared DOGE’s government cuts to the Clinton Administration’s “Reinventing Government” initiative, which cut 400,000 jobs over 5 years. Dr. Elaine Kamarck, who ran that commission, disagrees. “They are paying no attention to consequences…We did it exactly the opposite way.” #Velshi

‘Paying no attention to consequences’: Agencies scramble to rehire experts fired by DOGE
Elon Musk compared DOGE’s purges of government agencies to the Clinton Administration’s “Reinventing Government” initiative, but senior adviser to Vice President Al Gore, Elaine Kamarck, who worked on that initiative, says, “We did it exactly the opposite way.” She continued, “They are paying no attention to consequences, which is why, by the way, they're having to backtrack all the time.” Several agencies now are scrambling to rehire following DOGE cuts.

Trump fired hundreds at NOAA, Weather Service. Here’s what that means for forecasts.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Canada PM Candidate Chrystia Freeland: Trump’s tariffs ‘self-defeating and self-mutilating’
“Dear United States, you’re about to hurt yourself,” says Chrystia Freeland, one of the candidates to be the next Canadian Prime Minister. President Trump continues to threaten tariffs on America’s global trading partners - both allies and adversaries - claiming the U.S., the world’s largest economy, is being treated “unfairly.”

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.
