The Supreme Court ruled that Trump can unilaterally withhold $4 billion in foreign aid already approved by Congress that his regime deemed “wasteful.”
Meanwhile, he’s happy to bail out his authoritarian pal in Argentina to the tune of $20 billion.
Talk about wasteful.

MEDIA'S CHARLIE KIRK COVERAGE IS MASTERCLASS IN COWARDICE

The Mainstream Media’s coverage of Charlie Kirk's death & funeral is a masterclass in burying the lede. Pundits left, right, and center are falling over themselves to "lower the temperature" with a pox-on-both-houses vibe.

Sinclair owns Little Rock’s ABC affiliate, #KATV. I stopped watching when Sinclair bought it. Nothing but Christian Nationalist propaganda and thinly veiled hate spew. They are Trump Cult water boys. #arpx #arnews #Arkansas
Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

KEY to the story about ABC suspending Kimmel's show: Nexstar and Sinclair, two big owners of ABC-affiliated stations, both need FCC approval for pending deals. With a lot of $$ on the line, both have reason to curry favor with the Trump admin. Both decided to yank Kimmel's show.

People like Stephen King are getting caught in Kirk's deceit. He didn't say gays should be stoned. He said Biblical law requiring gays to be stoned was "God's perfect law." He didn't say it explicitly, but implicitly, and everyone understood his meaning, especially that he was being deceitful.
Charlie Kirk DID say stoning gay people was the 'perfect law' — and these other heinous quotes
These are some of his worst comments about LGBTQ+ people made by Charlie Kirk.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.
Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.
The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.
Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

There was an unprecedented meeting at the White House yesterday. Why? Because America’s allies don’t trust our president anymore. Why? Well the fact he is nuts, loyal to Russia, a liar, and an incompetent surrounded by incompetents has something to do with it. www.thedailybeast.com/is-peace-in-...
Is Peace in Ukraine So Crazy? Maybe Not, But Donald Trump Certainly Is
When ordinary people lose their minds, they disappear from view. When powerful men go insane, they can make the entire world crazy.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” will spend more than $50 billion per year privatizing public schools in America.
We should not have a two-tier education system — private schools for the rich & well-connected, severely underfunded public schools for low-income & working class kids.
