A reminder that he told his rallygoers while campaigning that they’d never have to vote again. Unfortunately the news, with rare exception, never took it seriously.
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) to ABC about Trump: "I think he intends to try to subvert the elections. He will do everything he can to suppress the vote. If he loses the vote -- I think the Republicans now expect they will get a drubbing in the midterms -- he will take action to overturn the result"

It’s a blatantly racist administration.
Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) says he was uninvited from a bipartisan White House dinner for governors
"As the nation’s only Black governor, I can’t ignore that being singled out for exclusion from this bipartisan tradition carries an added weight — whether that was the intent or not"

They haven’t returned to soybean purchases at the past level. Farmers are still being hurt due to trump’s policies.
BARTIROMO: Do you have any estimate of when we're going to see that China trade deal in writing?
BESSENT: No. But I can tell you the Chinese have lived up to their end of the bargain. They have completed their soybean purchases. President Trump is the only world leader that Xi respects.

I am so tired of rich people refusing to build anything new and just burning everything that exists as a public good to the ground instead. They have decimated journalism this way. Remember when they used to be scared enough to build public libraries and parks?

While trump tries to make a deal to enrich himself and ignores the murders by the regime.
Nationwide situation in Iran, today, per Ilia Hashemi:
Bodies of protesters are still being handed to families. Some were returned after a month, while signs on others suggest they were killed recently.
Arrests continue and detainees’ conditions are unknown. Their lives are in serious danger.
