These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

It’s about the Weapons of Mass Destruction!
While some Republican lawmakers have said that Venezuela’s oil riches are the reason to invade, that is not the Trump administration’s official line.
Trump’s Venezuela Fixation Is Not About the Oil
There are lots of reasons why the Trump administration is angling for regime change in Caracas, but heavy oil isn’t one of them.

Trump meteu a Habba ilegalmente
Breaking News: A federal court said that Alina Habba, a Trump-appointed lawyer, had been serving unlawfully as the U.S. attorney in New Jersey. She was neither confirmed by the Senate nor appointed by district trial court judges — the two traditional pathways.
Appeals Court Says Alina Habba, Former Trump Lawyer, Is Serving Unlawfully as U.S. Attorney
The judges wrote that the Trump Administration appeared to have become frustrated by legal and political barriers that have prevented its preferred U.S. attorneys from leading federal prosecutors’ offices.

Links between the radical right in this country and the corrupt regime of the former President of Honduras, a convicted narcotrafficker, are clear. Most US media hasn’t laid them out; this thread absolutely does the job. Today was the Honduran election for Xiomara Castro’s successor. I’m worried.

The other option is to tax billionaires out of existence
Though Americans might be clamoring for relief on groceries, housing and energy costs, economists say there’s a bigger downside to falling prices: Ironically, falling prices can both signal a recession and trigger one.

The only reason to go kill the survivors and lie about it is because you knew the boat wasn’t carrying drugs
5/ Administration explanation to Congress seems to be a bold-face falsehood: claiming double-tap strike was to clear debris, not to kill survivors.
"That explanation has prompted frustration among some members of Congress who say they believe the Pentagon was deceptive."
