US lawyers with principles shine a light on Trumps attempts at interference.
Powerful.
NEW: Read the resignation letter of three federal prosecutors who'd worked on the Eric Adams case: "Now, the Department has decided that obedience supersedes all else, requiring us to abdicate our legal and ethical obligations in favor of directions from Washington." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

The real relevance of US aid exposed in one table. Better Europe continue without them, their contribution a fraction of Europes, despite motor mouth Trump falsely squealing about 350 billion of US aid.

What pathetic little man behaves like this ?
Why? Because Maine’s governor Janet Mills told him to his face she would obey federal and state law, not his bullying edict, and he snapped at her like he did at Zelenskyy and she said see you in court. So, being a thin-skinned hateful savage, he’s now collectively punishing/antagonizing Mainers.
The Trump admin canceled contracts with Maine's CDC supporting "enumeration at birth" -- the way 99% of American babies get their Social Security Numbers.

Now Maine parents have to visit field offices in-person to get their newborn SSNs

Why?

No reason given.

Starmer - this is what real leadership looks like
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.
