Donald Trump has invited Vladimir Putin, wanted by the ICC over the mass kidnapping of Ukrainian children, to December's G20 at his Miami golf resort. The Kremlin says it is grateful. A bipartisan group of 14 US senators demand the invitation be withdrawn.

How clear is it that Trump's taxpayer funded ads are illegal? I explain why it is 10/10 clear. Senate in passing the law: Ban is designed to stop public funds used for "glorification" of an individual official. GAO: funds can not be used for "self-aggrandizement" nor partisan political purposes.

The Trump administration is considering data center-related projects across at least 17,600 acres of public land — far more than previously reported. Reminder: 70% of Americans oppose data centers, but Trump is heavily invested in the corporations pushing AI. Always follow the money.

Trump Is Considering More Data Centers on Public Lands Than Previously Known
The data center proposals cover at least 17,600 acres of public lands across six Western states.

Texas has horrendous problems. A chance to change things is right there. So I read an article that said Musk is quietly waiting to help the corrupt Abbott and Paxton . Well Texans if once again you vote against YOUR best interests and republicans win, you will deserve the hell that comes.

Other news organizations should leave the White House. They can of course still cover the administration--almost none of their coverage depends on being there physically. But they shouldn't stay there, raising their hands dutifully in the briefing room, as if it's business as usual.

After Trump gutted the IRS workforce — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires — the agency's annual audit revenue plunged by 35%. Trump's attacks on the IRS were never about "efficiency." They were about making it easier for the wealthy and powerful to skirt what they owe.

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.
