I was in Washoe County last week visiting public schools.
I met students studying for AP exams, kids with disabilities who rely on classroom aides, and teachers doing everything they can with shrinking resources.

Democrats, demoralized and searching for leadership, flock to first person to stand and talk for 25 hours straight.

Schooled by Trump, Americans are learning to dislike their allies
Our polling shows that Americans’ and Europeans’ attitudes towards each other are changing quickly

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969.
One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

CNBC anchor on Trump’s tariffs: “This… is worse than the worst-case scenario.”
There was zero reason for these tariffs—we’re not at war, the economy wasn’t struggling and we had strong trade partners. This is economic sabotage, plain & simple. Folks on the right not to stop pretending he’s helping.

Auto Union Boss Is Sucking Up To Trump On Tariffs. It’s Going To Backfire.
Tim Miller and Andrew Egger talk United Auto Workers union leader Shawn Fain’s support of Trump's tariffs as an auto-industry steel supplier announces layoffs — and why it will probably backfire for the union boss.

For the life of me, I can’t figure out why so many Democrats in Congress still don’t have an account on Bluesky. Just as bad, many of those who do have accounts here don’t post on a regular basis. Is it ignorance or laziness on their part? If so, don’t they have staffers handling their social media?

Donald Trump and Elon Musk's strategy:
1) Install cronies at key agencies
2) Gain access to critical systems
3) Take from the needy
4) Give massive tax cuts to the rich
A Reverse Robin Hood.

New on @MSNBC: Some U.S. Agency for International Development and State Dept. career employees are concerned information in their personal devices may be being monitored.
The employees received pop-ups in the last few days warning them that info on their personal phones or laptops could be tracked.
