Lol the US just abandoned their effort to get mad at the guy that threw Bolsonaro in prison. Big "my toddler tantrum didn't get me nothing so we're done here" energy.

Impeach him again.
This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

Deadnaming a former Assistant Secretary of HHS and selfless public servant on her official portrait is an act of cruelty and a clear violation of basic dignity.
Admiral Levine served this country honorably. Targeting her, and all trans Americans, is bigoted, cruel, and completely unacceptable.

The biggest fallout internationally post-Trump is the rest of the world realizing they cannot count on the US to follow through on anything after a presidential election. It’s going to take us decades to rebuild that trust, if it ever happens.
US is hosting the World Cup and Olympics, but I can see a lot of professional associations just pushing members not to host in the US any longer.

It’s funny how the richest assholes are always the ones whining that government does too much.
"It's just like you really want the least amount done by government possible.” The billionaire then pushed false claims about immigrants being paid to enter the U.S. in “vast numbers” and being “fast-tracked to citizenship.”
DOGE in a nutshell - conspiracy nut wants to make govt as small as possible

Spoken like a man who has never met a kid in grade school. My kids seem to need at least 37 pencils per day. I have no idea what they do with them.
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

One of the most frustrating things with Trump is how such a proudly ignorant man can get on TV, proclaim how little he knows, and almost no one calls him on it. We still make fun of Al Gore for "inventing the internet" and yet Trump keeps on Trumping.
there is no available evidence that donald trump understands what a tariff is, what a trade deficit is, and what the national debt is.
The way Trump talks about the problems he caused by unilaterally imposing tariffs is fairly insane, even by his standards.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

I'm going to keep saying this in my effort to speak it into reality: Supreme Court should have at least 100 Justices with rotating panels (and maybe an en banc option). No single Justice should have so much power and they shouldn't be names everyone knows.
A court with a normal-ish conservative majority would have been tolerable. I'm not eager for court packing, impeaching justices, and other such options. But this court sticking around post-Trump is untenable. They've already torched their own legitimacy, the only question is what do we do about it.
Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.
