"Trump lost against the Maine governor. He lost against Perkins Coie. He loses 80% of cases in court. Which makes those who’ve capitulated look that much more foolish, because if they’d just fought back, they would've retained what they thought they'd lose and their dignity would still be intact."
Trump forced to concede defeat
Maine's governor promised she'd see Trump in court. She just declared victory.

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free.
This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file.
Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.
See how this works?

He’s obviously there to destroy the country. Not to negotiate on our behalf. Putin’s bitch is doing his job exactly as expected. And the GOP continues to acquiesce.

Every dollar the US Government spends is a matter of public record and is available online. Musk isn't finding any secrets; he's exploiting his own ignorance and that of MAGAs.

This appears to be an announcement by Musk and the attorney for the Stop the Steal domestic-extremist movement (Martin, now posing as a lawman rather than a criminal) that anyone who opposes the ongoing fascist coup will be arrested and jailed.

The thing about “patriotic education” is that if you have to lie about America to love it then you probably don’t really love it. Ultimately their objection to the flawed universalism expressed in the declaration is the idea that the flaws were bad or that the universalism should be realized.

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others
