Stephanie Ruhle: This bridge will take toll money away from another bridge that connects Michigan and Canada, and that bridge is owned by a big Trump donor who, on Monday, had a meeting with Howard. Lutnick. Immediately following that meeting, poof, we no longer want this new bridge.

Major GOP donors are getting rich off Trump's deportation campaign.
It's the purest distillation of MAGA: fusing bigotry with uncontrollable greed.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Of course.
DHS lied again.
Right after they murdered Renee Good, they shot a young couple in Portland.
Then lied about it.
They were *not* gang members.
And she wasn’t “involved” in a shooting, she was a victim of sexual assault.

Sad topic, but beautiful presentation of this poem.
Grief stood like a sentinel in public. On the steps of the Public Theater, Peter Dinklage read Amanda Gorman's poem, "For Renee Nicole Good." No spectacle. Just a voice carrying loss out loud. Renee should be here. Saying her name matters. Remembrance is resistance.

🚨 Robert Gates is unloading on Donald Trump — and the internet is lighting up.
The former defense secretary under George W. Bush didn’t hold back, calling Trump “beyond fixing,” “deeply uninformed,” and “unfit and unqualified” to serve as Commander-in-Chief. But this blowup isn’t just personal.

New from me: It is not just that the US is experiencing democratic backsliding. Authoritarianism has emerged more quickly than in other benchmark countries.

Trump thinks that firing Bovino will absolve him of his crimes and sweep the problem under the rug, WRONG.
Bovino needs to be investigated, and we need to know who is all involved with “Operation Metro Surge” — no one is above the law.
