A new report from Bright Line Watch finds experts now rate the U.S. as a "mixed" or "illiberal" democracy. The rating is dragged down by Trump's attacks on institutions, a weak legislature, political violence, and partisan gerrymandering www.gelliottmorris.com/p/experts-no...

Generations ago, immigrant groups learned that Americanness was tantamount to whiteness, and that whiteness was incomplete without anti-Blackness. But Donald Trump has made clear that the old devil’s bargain no longer works, writes @kaliholloway.bsky.social.
Aligning With Trump’s Toxic Whiteness Will Never Keep You Safe

Wow. So he votes to gut Medicaid and throw 17 million people off of their healthcare and then dumps his Medicaid related stock to cover his own ass?

Republican Congressman Bresnahan recently sold his stock in Centene, a Medicaid health care provider. The stock has now fallen 43% since his sale.
His sale seemingly coincides with his vote to advance Trump's budget bill that will kick 17 million Americans off their health care.

This is the biggest, underreported news right now. Republicans are trying to STEAL an election in North Carolina. Straight up. This is a test case for 2026 and 2028. They will never voluntarily give up power again.
Bombshell in North Carolina: the state's GOP-dominated Court of Appeals just sided with the GOP candidate in last year's supreme court race.
Their decision would toss roughly 60,000 ballots (!) that have been counted, & likely hand the election to GOP instead of incumbent Dem Justice who won it.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.
