@pbs.org @pbsnews.org What happened to the weekend news program?? Let me guess: With CPB no longer in existence there was a funding shortfall. But for years PBS has offered kid's programming on two of their three subchannels. If you'd eliminate this redundancy the money would be there. 😕

In another harebrained and even dangerous idea, in tribute to INDYCAR Trump announced an auto race through the streets of D.C. as part of the 250th anniversary this summer. If it's a race they're speeding and could crash out, injuring bystanders and/or damaging buildings. WTF??

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Legal analyst Andrew Weissman reviews allegations & evidence against Trump from the latest Epstein files released. It's a stress test whether the rule of law holds up as to incriminatory acts by a president BEFORE in office. (Search @economicwarning page on FB--link to FB ⛔️

Everything Trump touches dies."--Republican strategist Rick Wilson. His administration & lackies in Congress should heed this. Why Lindsey Graham is melting down. He knows if the pro- democracy movement prevails in the midterms, everybody around Trump will eventually go to jail.

TX Gov Greg Abbott is a Trump brownnoser, an utter disgrace to our state, and just could not hand over too quickly to Trump flunkies all our most sensitive private data in citizen voter rolls. DATA TO BE USED TO SUBVERT THE 2026 MIDTERMS. Marc Elias of Democracy Docket doesn't lose these lawsuits.

Donald Trump is so hopelessly narcissistic he gets pissed even when his wife gets extensive media coverage. He's severely unbalanced mentally (dementia), emotionally (narcissistic), physically (lives on McDonalds) and spiritually (pursues retribution in groundless lawsuits).

In a previous post I mentioned how ICE/CBP is trouncing the Bill of Rights even 2nd Amendment right to bear firearms. Others: 1st A (rt to peaceably assemble & protest & NOT just in confined spaces), 4th A (rt to be free from home search if no warrant FROM A JUDGE), 5th & 14th A (rt to due process).

Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis is a disaster because poorly trained federal agents have been trouncing on citizen rights under the Constitution's Bill of Rights: They've even attempted to ban legal licensed firearms--right to carry under 2nd Amendment--alienating the NRA.

Killing Alex Pretti was a summary execution. Democracies with rule of law don't do this. Hennepin Cty is conducting an investigation for a lawsuit. Because it will be tried in a STATE court, once the 2 CPB officers are found guilty Trump can't pardon them. JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED.

Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Fellow pro-democracy advocates: Research on nonviolent protest movements reveals it only takes 3.5% of a nation's population protesting to force changes. For the US that's 12M of us. Last yr WE were up to 7M strong. Donate to Moveon or Indivisible to get the word out. Let's make this happen in 2026!

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Re Trump admin seizure of the Fulton Cty GA 2020 ballots, I understood from your Politics Chat yesterday they wanted to lift the personal data from each ballot. This was to see how people actually voted but also for future use to suppress. They might also alter results?

How stupid does the DOJ think we are?? They're releasing 1/2 the Epstein files saying the job is done. Yeah, but what's being covered up in the unreleased 1/2?https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-doj-announces-brazen-new-epstein-files-cover-up/

The deputy attorney general said DOJ had now “completed” its review of the Epstein files.

Trump's making changes to ICE ops in Minneapolis because he doesn't like chaotic situations. Good, but he overlooks the fact that his unpredictability constantly keeps the nation scrambling & stressed out from instability. He only cares when the stock mkt dives.Billionaires care.

Thank you, Bruce Springsteen, for giving such eloquent voice to our shock, disbelief, grief and outrage. This is the chorus from his protest song, "The Streets of Minneapolis." The example of Renee Good & Alex Pretti will live on.

On Jan 6 this year a desperate Trump told GOP lawmakers, "You gotta win the midterms. If we don't win...they'll find a reason to impeach me." Donald, if you had supported the rule of law--didn't think you should be accorded a separate, lax standard--this problem wouldn't exist.

The White House says it's "deeply frustrated" with Noem & Bovino. But they did exactly what the President wanted, smear Good & Pretti. After this backfired with the public including parts of MAGA, Trump is scapegoating Noem & Bovino to absolve the WH of accountability.

Can't help thinking about how life would be if Kamala had been elected: The border bill would have shut off the flow & ICE would proceed w orderly process of deporting those w criminal records just as before. No nonviolent citizens dying. No ruptured NATO. Blessedly chaos free.

Sadly, the US is no longer just unstable, it's dangerous to democracy & peace worldwide. What will we do? The rest of the world--especially our allies--are watching, and history will remember who spoke up and who stayed silent.

Political historian Heather Cox Richardson lives in a fishing village in ME far from the chaos that is the subject of her daily letter to 2.8M readers. She writes about how democracies collapse & endure. Her nightly work feels less like academia & more like meds for anxious souls

Yesterday was International Holocaust Remembrance Day. It was commemorated in the US, alarmingly, in a country that presently has masked troops in streets, law abiding neighbors being disappeared, a president othering and dehumanizing entire communities, big mysterious prisons.

I don't know how many times we will be told by the legacy media that Trump is moderating or backing off only to then see he is worse than ever. He is an authoritarian. He enjoys the cruelty. And the first thing he had Pam Bondi do after the shooting was to try to leverage it to get the voter files.
