Trump treats every question like it’s a pop quiz he didn’t study for and the teacher is personally insulting him by asking it.

He has been asked about this multiple times and said he would do it. But this time a black female reporter asks him the question, so it gets answered much differently. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Reporter: You said he would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd
Trump: I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news. Whatever Hegseth decides is ok with me… Let me just tell you, you are an obnoxious reporter. Actually, a terrible reporter.

Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

Holy shit this back and forth between Kagan/Alito/Jackson/&the SG.
Kagan: Doesn't your logic mean a whole raft of other agencies must be invalidated?
SG: Yes, but that's not being litigated right now
Kagan: So what?
Alito: What if we just want to say "but maybe don't apply our logic elsewhere?"

Trump has raged over Dems telling military members they have to refuse illegal orders. Funnily enough, as a lawyer for the America First Policy Institute, AG Pam Bondi filed a brief with the Supreme Court, writing, “Military officers are required not to carry out unlawful orders.” trib.al/FlDJWQg

Follow up: it doesn’t say it’s illegal to fire on incapacitated shipwrecked. It just says it’s illegal to fire on the shipwrecked. Where’d you get “incapacitated” and why are you such an asshole?
Q: "The Pentagon's Law of War manual…says 'Orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal.' Given that, how was that follow up strike on the two survivors legal?"
Tom Cotton: "They were not incapacitated… They were sitting or standing on top of a capsized boat."

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic.
Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders.
