A startup backed by Donald Trump Jr.'s venture capital firm just got a $620M loan from the DoD, months after the Pentagon gave a major drone contract to ANOTHER Trump Jr.-backed company.

Turns out .. they did try.

And grand jury rejected it

The Republican hacks on SCOTUS start with whatever ruling will help their fellow Republican partisans and lazily work backwards from there, barely offering an excuse for their egregious hackery.

John Roberts keeps complaining no one respects them. Yeah, because we’re actually paying attention.

When I first got to Minnesota years ago, my roomie and I (both transplants from Back East) shared a duplex building with two Somali grad students. They became great pals to us. We were all new to this strange place in varying degrees, and they really helped it feel like home. Trump’s a racist pig.
The president fails to realize how deeply Somali Americans love this country.

We are doctors, teachers, and elected leaders working to make our country better.

We will not let Trump intimidate or debilitate us. My op-ed:

Trump is gutting Wall Street safeguards and firing the examiners that make sure megabanks aren’t scamming you or putting our economy at risk.

Trump will own the next financial crisis, but we’re all going to pay for it.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3200 workers to “right-size” its business.

The company is one of four giants that control 80% of meat processing.

This corporate monopoly is great for Tyson’s executives and a raw deal for everyone else. Watch:

Trump’s insults, tantrums, and threats have exploded.

He’s losing control over what he says, descending into angry, venomous, often dangerous territory.

A filterless president who says anything that comes into his head poses a unique danger. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/age-and-inhibition
