We Mainers know Angus king to be a lame excuse for a senator. I see that Tim kaine & Jeanne shaheen have joined him in accepting a fake deal with the fascists. shame on rh bunch of them for joining the MAGA cult for nothing. The laugh on them is that the house is likely going its own crazy way

@kaine.senate.gov Yo, Tim Kaine, grow a backbone & stop pretending that Rs are reasonable or give a crap about the U.S. shame on you for pretending that boot licking is an effective strategy.

Disney paid $16 million to Trump to settle a bogus lawsuit involving George Stephanopoulos.

Disney fired Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.”

Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel.

That Disney has walked back one of those after immense public pressure doesn't change who they are.

One of the Orange Menace's biggest lies is that he is a skilled & accomplished negotiator. Those of us capable of remembering his first term remember that he could not reach or close productive deals (remember how he got played by China). He is all about delusional self promotion & nothing else.

The path for Democrats is very clear: have good ideas, believe in them, state them clearly, stick to them, act decisively in support of these ideas, speak to the young half of the electorate, support other democrats who do these things. Follow Mamdani and Lander's example or fade into nothingness.

The Trump administration is grossly incompetent on all levels. It lacks personnel w/ the knowledge to make meaningful trade deals w/ individual countries. We will end up with arbitrary tariffs that, in the absence of a coherent & long-term industrial policy, will do nothing to restore manufacturing
Step 1. Announce arbitrary tariffs for each country
Step 2. When markets crash, pause those tariffs and say they're just leverage for deals
Step 3. Promise deals
Step 4. Fail to make deals
Step 5. Announce arbitrary tariffs for each country

...and yes, I find it hard to keep my cool, sometimes.

Likely the kind of BS we can see from any & all trade agreements that the Orange Menace may reach. We can be thankful that these agreements will likely not be ratified by Congress & made a permanent feature of our legal arrangements with foreign nations.
Laser focused on reducing prices for everyday Americans from Day One, the President has struck a deal that will lower the price of Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Jaguars, Aston Martin's, Range Rovers, and Minis.

On these days, the NYT's headlines look to be drawn straight from the Onion.
President Trump said on Thursday that he would name the Fox News personality Jeanine Pirro to be the interim U.S. attorney for Washington, hours after he was forced to pull his first choice.

What a sicko the Orange Monster is. It is insulting to a box of rocks to say that Jeanine Pirro is as dumb as a box of rocks.

Gotta say there is a small amount of perverse justice in Trump's willingness to screw Jeff Bezos by imposing mega tariffs on the core component's of Amazon's business--imports from Asian countries. Bezos is finding out the hard way that there is no deal to be had with the devil.

The law firm of Paul Weiss is too cowardly to flight a blatantly unconstitutional order issued by Donald Trump? Pathetic beyond words.
From Above the Law, re Paul Weiss:

“This bodes absolutely terribly for the industry. It’s an admission from one of the biggest and most powerful law firms in the nation that fighting a likely unconstitutional Executive Order in court just isn’t worth it.”

The appeasing behavior of elite Democrats like Schumer, universities like Columbia and Yale, and many people with influence is a catastrophic error. We have a small window to prevent the worst from happening through unrelenting refusal in every corner of society to accept this.
