BREAKING: Trump can now be arrested for SCOTUS contempt. Trump violated and ignored the unanimous Supreme Court order, and according to the law, he can be escorted in handcuffs by U.S. Marshals out of the White House and placed in federal custody pending trial.

Go back and read Paul Kennedy's "The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers". The USA made a lot of money exploring low wages; then, exploring the tooling expertise of engineers from China. That money went into wars. Trump is just an idiot that is precipitating the USA's fall.

The four law firms that it was announced are now Trump collaborators -- Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, Simpson Thacher, and A&O Shearman Sterling -- ALSO agreed today to "Disavow DEI" as part of a settlement with EEOC.
Why would any new associate join such a place? Why would any partner stay?

A country does not address commercial deficit with tariffs. The United States Deficit is only around 140 billion dollars. The U.S. can find that amount easily. For example, tax the rich and voilá!

Serious question: could someone explain to me why holding the floor and talking for hours is effective? What does it accomplish?

The media is rapidly going independent. I see so many great journalists who are relying on paid Substack subscriptions. Problem is, if we subscribe to a lot of them, it's expensive.
An idea. A group of journalists band together to offer a group subscription to all. I'm in and will pay well.

BENNET: No. I think they lied repeatedly to our committee and to the House committee.

This is a sad but interesting question. How many grad students will leave and where, if anywhere will they go ?
Live here and am in grad school here. I have one class where 13 out of the 15 in it are leaving the state or country at end of semester.
That funding loss will really impact the summer where the population is half that so it’s about $2k per person.

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

I was ripped to shreds on #CNN for standing up for the safety of the American military before Hegseth was hired. Told I was a “disgrace” who should be “ashamed of myself”, berated through the commercial break and threatened with defamation. Look where we are now.

If this were Biden and Harris, Republicans would scream "impeach and remove" at the top of their lungs. This should be no different. Impeach and remove Trump and Vance immediately. This scandal warrants immediate action. We need arrests, firings, demands for resignations. NOW. Loudly, constantly.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

Credit where it’s due: the Democrats are doing a smart, aggressive, focused job of playing up the Trump-Hegseth scandal. Remember, your job as a political activist is to step up and amplify the Democrats, not to sit back and grade their work. So go amplify them.

Enough with "hearings". I understand the need to investigate. BUT, when the "hearings" are just that, with no consequence, no accoutability....

Well, folks: there has been at least 10 days since "The Leak". No one has resigned. No one has been investigated.
etc. This is another BIG chunk of government accountability that they have already taken. Bit by bit, it won't be long before the U.S. is a full blown dictatorship. Good luck.
