Trump: “One year ago our country was dead. We were absolutely dead. Our country was ready to fail. Totally fail. Now we’re the hottest country anywhere in the world. And that’s said by every single leader I’ve spoken to over the last five months.” True? No, completely false (except for Russia)

AI and crypto have created the illusion that all is well with the economy — even as Trump has taken a wrecking ball to it.
When the AI and crypto bubbles burst, we’ll likely see the damage Trump’s wrecking ball has done.
Be warned.

NY AG Letitia James has sued UPS for stealing millions in wages from its seasonal holiday workers.
UPS' CEO made over $24M last year — over 436x her median worker's pay.
This is a reminder that states can step up and protect workers when Trump's federal government refuses to.

I truly feel for everyone dealing with the Brown investigation. We have capable and transparent police and investigators in Rhode Island who are clearly working their asses off to get answers. They have to deal with a clown show of an FBI.

NEW: President Donald Trump says he is granting a pardon to Tina Peters, who was convicted on state charges related to tampering with Colorado's election systems. Legal experts say presidential pardons do not apply to state charges.

reserves—the world's largest. Trump is thus replicating the schemes of the Neocons he has alternately supported and denounced, doing so more crudely than ever before. In doing this, Trump will turn the US into an international pariah.
